This is NOT the "second" Tidehollow Sculler, see Mesmeric Fiend. Personally, I think Sculler is better mainboard while this is better sideboard. Very good card, 4.5/5.

You can't say, that he is better or worse then Tidehollow Sculler.
The fact is, that Tidehollow Sculler can hit every nonland card, and Sin Collector hits only Instant or Sorcery (!). Sculler also dodges more removal, because he is WB artifact creature with a Zombie subtype, so you can't get rid of him easy.
The next thing is cmc. Sculler is cheaper, and he is 2/2. 3 mana for this effect with 2/1 body isn't so great in formats other then standard or limited and maybe EDH.
So the truth is: Sin Collector is a great card, flavorfull, with synergies, but it won't see play in modern, whileTidehollow Sculler actually is played in modern.
My personal raiting: 4,5. I love Orzhov.

The latest in the Standard arms race between showing love for instants and sorceries and hating on them.

Solid. Plays well with Cloudshift and Restoration Angel if you see another card you want them to get rid of. Great against American and Esper control decks.

The second coming of Tidehollow Sculler, only now they don't get the card back.

This probably fits best into an Aristocrats deck, where you want to play aggressively. Exile a Wrath or Azorius Charm. Love it, 4.5/5

This will be a standard player for a least as long as Restoration Angel is in standard.

This card is going to be a staple for a while. Even if EDh I could see this card getting amazing use. It reads "Counter this spell or lose a better one."

Tidehollow Sculler is not better, because
1: It's an artifact
2: they get the card back when sculler dies.
