Glimpse the Sun God taps any number of target creatures and gives your creatures vigilance until end of turn — the more targets, the more it costs, but Hinata, Dawn-Crowned collapses that cost to nearly nothing. At full efficiency it's a one-sided board tap stapled to a combat trick, and that combination closes games.

Glimpse the Sun God sees essentially zero play in competitive non-Commander formats — Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer have faster, more reliable ways to push through damage, and a sorcery-speed tap effect without a built-in cost reduction just doesn't make the cut. Commander is where it lives, specifically in Hinata, Dawn-Crowned builds where the cost reduction engine makes it absurdly efficient. Outside of Hinata, it's a narrow combat trick that most Commander decks will pass on in favor of removal or draw.
