Avacyn realized that all of these evil zombie flying things were flying around freely, so she thought they needed time out.
Well, in truth, she gave the dirty work to the tired, weary, worn-out townsfolks that have been fighting for a long time, waiting for her to solve their problems.
OUR SAVIOR, PEOPLE.

This card deserves a cantrip. Still wouldn't be good at all, but at least it would be playable in draft

Does anyone else remember Mammoth Harness?
At least this is cheaper...

Use with alchemist's refuge to achieve horribly inefficient angel removal.

@ Trygon_Predator & lorendorky
Don't forget about Verduran/Mesa Enchantress! And effects like those.
The card still seems fairly underwhelming though, as green generally has much more effective ways of dealing with flying. I kinda wish this had another small effect, to stop it from being immediately compared to the 'almost always better' Plummet...
1/5. I even try to stay away from it in Limited most of the time.

@ Trygon: Plenty of reasons, I'll name two off the dome, Nature's Spiral and Sun Titan.

Wow, this is really awful. It doesn't even prevent attacking or blocking. If the creature was wrapped in vines, wouldn't it make sense if it wasn't able to just walk over and attack you? It could've granted a card draw effect. At least then you would only be spending mana for this underpowered effect and not losing a card at the same time. I normally try to defend cards like this by suggesting possible synergies with other cards or abilities, but this one doesn't even deserve it.
If you were concidering, for any reason, putting this in your deck, concider the following.
This is a ruling quote from the earlier page: "The creature can later gain flying from another effect. That will override Grounded's effect." All your opponent has to do is enchant his creature with one of the many aura's that grant flying from this set, and you just lost 
and a card.
0.5/5
