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 see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.12.

A deck that focuses on creature-heavy strategies, such as a green-white token or aggro deck, would benefit from including Overwhelm as it can provide a significant power boost to all creatures on the board. However, there are potentially better options available, such as Overrun, which provides a similar effect at a lower mana cost and without the need for convoke. Whether Overwhelm should see play depends on the specific deck strategy and the available card pool, but it may be worth considering as a situational inclusion for decks looking to maximize creature power.
