Same as (((Blue Power Uncommon))). The choices here are Back to Nature, Windstorm, Bramblecrush, Creeping Mold, Triumph of Ferocity, Raking Canopy, Tropical Storm, Dwell on the Past, Stampede, Gale Force

At first, I thought there wouldn't be much to choose from. A lot of green non-creature cards like to play nice. Then all these flying hate cards joined the party and we were off to business.

­Tangle and Spore Cloud would have been options, but that's what the spellbomb is currently set to, so someone needs to be really pumped to see one of these two come back for me to cut the spellbomb. I really wanted to put Winter Blast and Cyclone on the list above... but they both break the color pie too much. Oh well.

Oh, and I should remind people that (((Blue Power Uncommon))) could use either a yea for Exhaust or a dissenting opinion.

I feel most nostalgic for Tangle out of all those mentioned, but that may be mainly because I started playing in Invasion. Tropical Storm seems a bit odd - making just one member of a "cycle" a colour hoser is a bit outré. I like Dwell on the Past in sets where it'll do something, but its flavour is a bit different to what you're describing over on (((Blue Power Uncommon))).

­Windstorm and Back to Nature have the nice hit-everything feel that I was in favour of with Pyroclasm, so I say one of those two or Stampede.

­Bramblecrush is relatively recent, but I like the card. Other than that, I like Creeping Mold and Stampede. A number of the others don't have the flavor that you're looking for.

Hmm. The other colors had one or two stand out cards, but green seems to have a lot of options. Let's just pull aside the three cards that have two votes:

And see if we can get a deciding opinion from another commenter.

(Oh, and on the subject of Dwell on the Past, Alex is right, it doesn't have the criteria I laid out in Blue Power Uncommon. I'm willing to overlook that, though, since it's a flavorful fit, and has it's own kind of crisis. Since I don't want to make it look like I'm favoring Dwell on the Past here over the other two, I should point out that Windstorm is a good iconic choice... it could be reprinted in any set, but it's very apt here. Stampede hasn't seen play since Ice Age, and looks expensive, but surprise trample while your opponent is chump blocking can be critical. The flavor is spot on too.)

Oh, this was never resolved. Okay, let's give it Stampede. Green already has a one cost uncommon instant in Plaited Hoop, and it's been a long time since we've seen this card. It's due for a reprint.
