Don't think of this card as simply 2 Twiddles. This is just as situational a card as Twiddle is, but may target all types of permanents and not just artifacts, creatures and lands. This is a powerful 1-on-1 card especially if you manage to draw 1st. When targeting land you are in essence making this card a blue Silence.
I have recently begun playing MtG again after a 10 year break and I can tell you that there are only a few cards that my opponents have openly commented mid-game on how frustrating a card is. This is one of them. I would recommend using this card and then reevaluating whether or not you think it is just "2 Twiddles" or is "not strong/useful".
Oh, and don't forget this card is arcane and can contribute to other cards needing arcane to boost it's own effectiveness.

I feel this would've been fine with Splice onto Arcane for 1U or, because it's Kamigawa, 2U.
Nice artwork though, dragons look cool. Who doesn't love electrified chinese dragons?

You can easily do this and more with that card from ravnica with replicate, although this one is easier to splash.

Not that useful since blue doesn't generate so much mana.

No, he's referring to the cost of the spell, three mana for two twiddles is a bit steep.
