Until end of turn, creatures you control gain trample and get +X/+X, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control.
Why is this card good?
Overwhelming Stampede is a green finisher that turns a wide board into lethal damage in one swing. The key word is trample — it doesn't just pump your team, it ensures the buff actually connects through blockers, which is exactly what go-wide decks struggle with.
Because X equals your highest power creature, this scales hardest when you have one big threat alongside a token swarm. A single 8-power commander turns your 1/1s into 9/9 tramplers. That makes it ideal for token decks (Ghired, Rhys), +1/+1 counter strategies, and any Hydra or stompy deck with a fat creature already on board.
Compared to Overrun, it usually buffs for more and lets you swing for absurd numbers — but it's strictly worse if your board is all small, even-power creatures, since Overrun's flat +3/+3 is more reliable there.
Don't play it in decks without a wide board or a high-power outlier — it's a do-nothing if you're behind or building toward a slower plan.

You check the power of your creatures as Overwhelming Stampede resolves. For example, if you control a 2/1 creature, a 2/2 creature, a 2/4 creature, a 4/1 creature, a 5/5 creature, and a 5/6 creature at that time, each of your creatures gets +5/+5 and gains trample until end of turn.
