About Overwhelm

Overwhelm, Sorcery, designed by Wayne Reynolds first released in Oct, 2005 in the set Ravnica: City of Guilds and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.12.

A deck that focuses on generating a wide board presence with a lot of creatures would benefit from including Overwhelm, as it can provide a significant power boost to all your creatures for a final push to overwhelm your opponent. However, in a competitive setting, there are likely better options available such as Overrun, which provides a similar effect for a lower mana cost, making it a more efficient choice for finishing off your opponent. While Overwhelm can be a fun and thematic inclusion in casual decks, it may not see much play in more competitive settings due to its high cost and the existence of more efficient alternatives.

Rules

You won’t be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won’t be on the battlefield when you pay the spell’s costs, so you won’t be able to tap it for convoke.

You can tap any untapped creature you control to convoke a spell, even one you haven’t controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
