Similar to other hybrid cards of this nature, its main draw is that you can drop it in mono-white. If you've got an early game based deck that fails to score the kill, you can drop this later and reset the board to a state your deck prefers.

While it is expensive, Sudden Disappearance seems good with this.

Mana-abilities that use the stack could still be used to float mana; though all of the ones I can think of are black or red; and you'd have to get this on the top of the stack as well lol..
Still; you could make a white/black upheaval deck!

this card isn't as painful as day of judgement or planar cleansing but i can see many new players treasure this card and use it in many casual decks.
a "good to be card" for the community. 4/5

@OmegaSerris: I think you might want to reread the card. It doesn't force discard, it forces them to shuffle their playing field back into their library. So they just keep their best combo for dragging lands out of their deck (assuming its based on permanents) and whatever they'd like to cast once they've ramped up again and thank you for putting yourself so far behind them.
This card is only really viable when used with flicker effects like Sudden Disappearance, storage effects like Detention Sphere, certain fast paced decks that can quickly recover from the reset (white weenies, mana ramp, graveyard exploitation decks, etc). And even then, the 8 cmc + the sorcery speed, makes it very difficult to get any practical use out of it. Though it might be fun to try this in an Epic Experiment deck ;)

The mana cost is too high.

Combos with a loud slurping sound.
