View from Above

Instant, 1U (2)
Target creature gains flying until end of turn. If you control a white permanent, return View from Above to its owner's hand.
"This air feels so heavy and thick. There are no winds to speak of. I fear the knowledge that comes from a place like this."
Illus. Howard Lyon

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 2/1/2009: This checks the colors of permanents you control as it resolves.
• 2/1/2009: If you control a white permanent, View from Above moves from the stack to your hand as part of its resolution. It never hits the graveyard. If you don't control a white permanent, View from Above is put into the graveyard from the stack as normal.
• 2/1/2009: If View from Above is countered for any reason (for example, if its target has become illegal), none of its effects happen. It will be put into your graveyard as normal.
