People of Ravnica, your attention, please. This is Chief Justiciar Leonos of the Azorius Senate. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of Ravnica require the building of a guildgate. And regrettably, your district is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two minutes. Thank you.
... There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at New Prahv for 2 years now, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to New Prahv? Oh, for heaven’s sake, it’s only down the road, right next to the hallowed fountain, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the mizzium mortars.

The argument that this is worse than Wrath of God because Wrath stops regeneration is a load of crap for two reasons:
1) There are a lot of other field nukes that don't stop regeneration that people still say are good.
2) How likely is it that your opponent will have the ability to regenerate his entire field after Supreme Verdict is cast? Not very, considering how many creatures don't get access to regeneration.
Really, the mana cost is the only thing that make it "bad."

@DarthParallax: I completely disagree. Rarity shouldn't determine the power level of a card. Wizards promised us that mythics would "feel special" and be epic spells and legendary creatures. A simple boardwipe that's extra powerful because it can't be countered isn't mythic rare, just as Snapcaster Mage isn't a mythic rare. They don't feel special or epic, and they certainly aren't legendary - they're just extra powerful.
I understand that rarity also has something to say about how complicated a card can be, but complicatedness doesn't always mean powerful. Rarity also helps balance limited, but there's a fine line between balancing limited and making overpowered cards justified by them being mythic rares.

Okay, so this is the true story behind Supreme Verdict and Maze's End
SV was actually used by Azor, the founder of the Azorius Senate. He created the Maze. The Maze was supposed to be a test to see if the guilds could work together. If they did (everyone making it to the end of the maze), the Guildpact would be restored. If they didn't the bailiff (manifestation of Azor's will) , would, in some way, enact the Supreme Verdict of Azor, destroying all of the Tenth District (the most important part of Ravnica), and perhaps the entire plane of Ravnice. Azor was, after all, a planeswalker.
This Information IS canon because I got it from the book that came out today, the third part of the RtR book series the Secratist. That was written by Doug Beyer who was told to do that by Wizards. So, It is canon

@Diachronos: I would go further and say that not stopping regeneration is actually a benefit to this card.
Who is more likely to have regenerating creatures and cards that can regenerate their creatures? Your opponent, playing whatever random deck they're playing? Or you, who put this in your deck and knew it was in there when you selected your other cards?

Can't be countered! But now the only way to save my creatures is with the Golgari charm, Boros Charm, Legion's initiative, Avacyn, Mikaeus the Unhallowed and who knows what else.
