As written, this destroys the card.

Play this with R&D's Secret Lair and start ripping your opponent's deck into pieces.

If you're an ass.

It would also get around shroud, since it's "any card in play" - not targeted!

Temporal sundering might not kill a Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker , but a swirling mass of wind sure will!

Obviously outclassed by Vindicate in general, but being able to have removal in a monogreen deck is worth a lot.

Seeing as (this printing) is only available in Magic Online, you don't have to worry about destroyed pieces of cardboard.

@scumbling1: Ripping a card to pieces is a way of destroying it, so in reality, if you want to, you could also crush, burn, impale or otherwise completely ruin your opponents' cards instead of ripping it to shreds.
Still, by tearing a card in pieces you are still destroying it, so the game doesn't really distinguish between the two of them except for the way you have to destroy the card.

Very powerful, flexible removal...but pricey. Now replaced by things like Maelstrom Pulse.

elf deck.. makes for great spot removal. Ironically improved with the introduction of planeswalkers.

Weird to have such direct removal in green, somewhat excusable because of its cmc I suppouse.
Not the best removal out there, but if your playing mono green and you need to have an answer for any permenant I suppouse this could work. Just make sure your using greens mana exceleration to its fullest if you hope to play this when you need it.

A storming desert, with a Taliban insurgent and child running for cover, equals ultimate removal in a color supported by forests?! Awesome.
