They can make the worms as un-phallic as they want, we all know that Selesnya still has big **** energy.
Other card exists, I guess. It has a nice set of effects and all, but it costs five mana. This is the problem with cards that do that much stuff: they end up prohibitively costly as a result. Are you really going to regularly be able to save five honkin' mana for this without holding yourself back?
did anyone keep in mind how expensive untapping all creatures is? Heroic Intervention costs 1G and grants indestructible and Hexproof, this puts untapping all your creatures at 2W .
The untap creature aspect is likely overcosted because this is a format with convoke in it. They likely costed it so high so that it would be used for protection and not as a mana ramp spell.

It’s probably also costed high because unlike Heroic Intervention, Join Shields can be much more easily used to bait an opponent into attacking into a one-sided wrath since you’re creatures being tapped gives the opponent the illusion of a clear field.
We have anti-sweeper tech already in the format from Core 2019. It's not as cheap as Heroic Intervention, but that was one hell of a pushed card and didn't have the extra utility that Make a stand has at three. Honestly, this feels like a pattern with WoTC: make a wrath at X cost and then put a counter for that wrath at X-1, hence why we got a 2 mana version last season to fight Bontu's Last Reckoning.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Still 5cmc is high though...the only thing that helps is that we have bypass to give us extra mana in the early game.

Phalanx tactics. Well, it had to be either Selesnya or Boros.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Untap all creatures you control. They gain indestructible and hexproof until end of turn.
+ Siege Wurm from the same source
Like the Selesnya anti-wrath/spot removal teach, good for casual, Commander & Limited.
it combines the previously loved combat tricks of untap+indestructible and hexproof+indestructible.
However, the cost is rough. It's obviously more for limited, but Heroic Intervention this is not.
Reprint Stasis!
Control needs more love.

Even with Untap+Convoke interactions, that timing isn't going to line up unless your opponent is saving all removal for combat.
Wurm's always good, but less phallic art is a strict downgrade
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
