Yes, overrun is a bomb, but you can't count on it to win games for you. Generally you need to already be in a winning position or at least a long term stall for it to be useful. And even then white and blue have easy answers for it and black and red will never let you get a clogged board in the first place with a ton of removal. Green has the worst spells which means Green decks cannot really deal with fliers or the ground unblockables and most decks will have card advantage on them.
Green is designed around having good creatures to make up for the lack of spell support, but in M10 Greens creatures are all outclassed by other colors creatures of the same mana cost. Green really needs six or seven mana before it can even play a card that is a threat to anyone and by that point the opponent will generally have the game locked up.
Also fireball is the uncommon that ends the most games.
