"Sacrifice an untapped creature: Enchanted creature gets +2/+0 until end of turn.
Sacrifice enchanted creature: All creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn."


A brief rundown of the card:

This versatile enchantment can (to a lesser effect) simulate Overrun and Skull Catapult. Sure, it isn't no Overrun, but it is abut 1/3 the casting cost.
