Screaming Sunburst
It's a cheaper Holy
Awe that's bad in the mirror match. When not in the
mirror, you can alpha strike pretty quick with
this. Against the mirror, though, it's bad. It
depends on your metagame. This one doesn't shield
trigger, so it's not good defensively, but awesome
on offense. Definitely worth playing in some decks.

Screaming Sunburst
It’s a mini mono-light Holy Awe. Its low cost is
extremely convenient in a mono deck, but in any
other deck its useless because you’ll be tapping
your own non-light creatures too. Another word of
caution: it’s completely useless against another
light deck.
I recommend Holy Awe over the Sunburst because the
Awe is a shield trigger and targets all of your
opponent’s creatures.
Just my opinion, but this card seems out of place in
the Shadowclash set, which seems to encourage more
multi-region decks. Rampage really had the
single-color theme.
Constructed: 3/5
Limited: 1/5 (try making all light in a draft)
