This card seems hella overpowered. All you need is an early discard outlet, and if your opponent doesn't have a way to exile cards in the graveyard you basically instantly win the game.

by Link:

Granting creatures flash had no benefit, since they're already on the battlefield. What you want is a separate line that says "As long as ~ is in your graveyard, you may cast creature cards as though they has flash."
That said, this is incredibly overpowered. Getting this into your graveyard is a very easy condition to fulfill without ever having to cast it, giving you a better anthem than white, the anthem color, ever gets, and potentially for free.

I'm no legacy player, but this is now the best card ever to play with Force of Will.

This still seems absurdly much better than Leyline of the Meek. I'd play this over Collective Blessing in a green-white deck. Heck, I'd play it in a mono-red or mono-white deck.

I sort of gave up on offering advice.
