The take
It's a boardwipe and anthem stapled together, and that's exactly why it draws complaints about games ending before they start.
$20.11
EDHRec rank 822, still a mono-white staple eight years after this printing.
Plays well with
-
Pattern of Rebirth
Pattern tutors Elesh Norn straight to the battlefield, skipping the wait to hit seven mana.
-
Massacre Wurm
Both punish small creatures on entry from different angles, so opponents can't build around surviving just one of them.
-
Toxrill, the Corrosive
Toxrill applies the same kind of relentless board pressure over time that Elesh Norn applies instantly, so decks that fear one tend to fear the other.
