Although wizards decided sometime that haste finally is an ability of green's color pie, back then there wasn't such a thing, and in between it was considered as red-only feature, that's why we have some sort of "planeshifted" version of this card, being Mass Hysteria. With the slight difference that this isn't a World Enchantment, but the effect itself doesn't stack anyways.
And i agree with Dyadyalstvan, if you've got some mana-producers this will empty your hand in an instant.
ps: That censorship system sucks (M)ass ;)

Dude, Mode, that censoring does suck it's so annoying!!! Anyways, this is a cool card I like it, and I like the flavor. Some cards just stand out to me more than others and sometimes I'm not even sure why. Maybe it's the old nostalgia of this one. Who knows.

@tavaritz:
He said single turn, not first turn.
Anyway, with Elvish Spirit Guide, Lotus Petal, or any of the Moxes that give green you can get ridiculous mana accel.

Great card in for mana ramping creatures in green.

This card was and still is one of my favourite cards...It is especially devastating with its low CMC and being a green card, allowing you to play mana Elves and Birds for free...

This, Aluren, Recycle and Fastbond used to be the key components to a devastating elf deck that would just flood the board with 20+ elfs in a single turn.
Now it's been rendered obsolete by Nissa Revane.

Nice, a green enchantment that gives Haste to all creatures. But what bout the color pie ?

Wasn't expecting this while searching through Chronicles! It's cheap, and has a Sokenzan -esque ability that I really like. It's best to wait on playing it on turn one unless you're going first or have a two-drop waiting to pounce.

@allmighty_abacus: Let's see:
1. Forest
2. Fastbond
3. Forest
4. Forest
5. Forest
6. Forest
7. Recycle
And you're out of cards.
So you go second.
Opponent:
1. Island
You:
1. Forest
2. Fastbond, response Force Spike. Oppenets turn.
So no first turn 20 elves.

Oh geez, this is yet another evil trick to pull with Llanowar elves... Just don't drop it on your first turn.
