It's an instant miracle card! If you can swallow the non-miracle price, it does its job well. Useful for getting rid of that thorn in your side. Pricy, but should see some play.

Hmmm... even 6 mana sounds good for me for burying Avacyn, Angel of Hope at the bottom of someone's deck. Just have to hope someone hasn't hexproofed her... which if they're smart they will do ASAP.
I still like it for limited.

An excellent way of dealing with generals. Not particularly useful in any other formats besides Limited, though.

One really has to jump through hoops to even make this card approach any where near mediocre. Is is absolutely horrible? No. But honestly this card would have been significantly more effective if it could hit any permanent. The ability to target Planeswalkers would have made this card way less inefficient when not using the miracle cost.
I give this card a 2/5 overall. It's too unreliable for too little an effect.

@DrJack
You're ignoring the rather glaring drawbacks this card has. You have only one chance to cast it for {W}, if you don't it becomes a very expensive dead draw. This means there is no option to hold on to it, which severely limits it's potential. This turn the most menacing threat your opponent has could be a 1/1 spirit token. Next turn it could be a Titan.
To cast it any other time costs a ridiculous 6 mana, to do something other, better cards could do for 2 or 3 at any time. It's horribly inefficient in that respect, and it's hard to control. Additionally, if you're drawing any additional cards during your turn your just increasing the chances of this card being wasted.
This card is nice enough in limited, but anywhere else it's just too restrictive to be any good.

This card is fine for giggles in a Commander deck, I mean given the sheer randomness of Commander who can be offended at drawing one card out of a 99 card deck?
But yes, there are many legacy spells that do what this card does much better and without the restrictions. Swords to Plowshares anyone?
