5/5 for two reasons: I love the card name, and the two-sentence wording sounds badass as written. It'd be at most a 3/5 if it said "Untap target creature. It gains flying until end of turn."

Think about it. find a creature with a tap ability. Use this card to untap it. Do the ability again.
If greenhilt trainee does this, for example, it can pump itself up 4/4 and swing. With flying.

Guys... I think everyone is underestimating this card quite a bit. This makes perfect use out of a powerful ground attacker, considering most flying (excluding demons) are medium to small sized. Untapping a creature AND giving it flying can be a huge slap in the face to an opponent attacking with a delicate or valuable flying creature.
The draw in Leap is pretty cool, but I'd say this could be better in many situations. This card just gives you all the more options and flexibility for blue control. Don't underestimate having two useful effects in one card at your disposal for a mere 1 blue mana.
4/5

I think the idea of turning one of your tapped out attackers into a suddenly-flying blocker is pretty awesome. It won't be winning any Pro Tours any time soon, but this is an inspired and elegantly designed combat trick.
Sick art, too.

I was struck by the WORDING of this card - "Untap it." is pretty abrupt for a Magic card, and don't other similar spells usually say "Untap target creature. It gains "?

I don't see what's so bad about it.
It's essentially giving a creature flying and vigilance for {u}, great on a creature with infect

Phew, good they created a worse version of Leap. I'm sure that one would have been far too powerful for todays standards.

'coz every color needs his crappy instant... well except red. This one can be moderately useful, though. It's almost in same weight category as Seize the Initiative
