by Alex:

Um. Did you just create a cantrip Overrun with an alternate mode as a 5/5 creature?

I think the cycling here needs to be way more expensive. Or grant much less of a bonus. Overrun is considered too strong for normal expansions these days, let alone an uncounterable, less-colour-intensive, cantrip version.

by Vitenka:

Oooh, I looked at Alex's comment, and the cost and thought "Cantrip overrun.. powerful; 8 mana? Sure, why not"

But yeah, wow, the actual cost is only 5; half a mana cheaper than the original. And instant speed; too.

That and the ability to have shenanigans with flickering it to get multiple copies? Way too good for the cost.

by Link:

Overrun is too strong now? Dang.
