Dang. This could lead to some blowouts. Is it just me, or are all the Dictates playable, which could lead to some crazy combat tricks mid to lategame for any color?
Breaking news.
There will be no Tibalt, Tamiyo, Tezzeret, Garruk, Chandra, Liliana, mini-Jace, big-Jace, Garruk again, or Sarkhan in Theros either.
There will also be no Black Lotus.
Maybe the symmetrical effects were to keep the cost down. After all, mana doubler with flash would be 8 most likely and flash double damage might be 7.
At least the art is beautiful! I was really hoping for a more exciting and symmetric effect. This card just seems lazy, as if they were struggling to make something interesting but ran out of time. I am sure there will be a few decks that will enjoy having an instant speed anthem, but I am admittedly disappointed with this boring design.
Kinda mad this isn't a symmetrical effect for each player because it defeats the cycle, but that doesn't mean it's not a good card. I wish it were 4 mana, but that would likely break it. Flash makes this card amazing in limited formats, but idk how much constructed playability this will have.
I'm still praying that black's Edict returns creatures from the graveyard to their owner's hand! Please!
An interesting application this could provide is instant speed devotion. Not sure how relevant that is, but with Heliod himself it definitely seems interesting.
Also, another advantage this card has with flash is that it avoids Detention Sphere and Revoke Existence for a turn with the advantage of being able to have mana open during your turn.
Terese Nielsen's art is always spectacular, and this is no exception. They just keep putting it on lame cards like this, and it makes me sad. There's absolutely nothing exciting about this card.

Don't know if I want to pay 5 for a double Glorious Anthem. Ehhhhh

Nice card. Flashing in an anthem effects. Pretty sure. I'm not sure why you would want to play your anthem on your opponents turn.
Well, flash is not just for opponent's turn. You can also play it on your turn, after opponent declares blockers.
Play it in combat after they declare blockers.
Or after they declare attackers.
This is basically a combat trick that sticks around for a while.

I definitely don't think it's overcosted. 2 more for flash and an extra +1/+1 is fair.

You complete me.
I seriously wonder if design handed in a symmetrical effect, and was changed (out vetoed) by development. Probably.
Yawns.
