Overwhelm

Description

Overwhelm is a green sorcery card identified by number 189 in the Magic 2015 (M15) core set, released in 2014. This Uncommon rarity card requires five generic mana and two green mana to cast, resulting in a total mana value of seven. The card’s primary effect grants creatures you control +3/+3 until end of turn, providing a significant power boost during gameplay. A defining feature of Overwhelm is the Convoke mechanic. This rule allows a player to tap creatures they control while casting the spell to help pay for its costs. Each tapped creature can pay for one generic mana or one mana of that creature’s color, offering strategic flexibility in deck construction. The card’s flavor text, "The Conclave acts with a single will, expressed by countless warriors," reflects the thematic unity of the green mana identity within the set. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often look to complete the M15 base checklist, where this card serves as a foundational piece. Its straightforward sorcery type and impactful board state change make it a recognizable element of the 2014 core set. The card is illustrated by Wayne Reynolds, whose artwork contributes to the visual identity of the Magic 2015 release. As a core set component, Overwhelm remains a standard reference point for players and collectors familiar with the M15 era of the game.
