Hmmm I don't know, it exiles and works on both enchantments and creatures.. that's not to bad actually. It can be used for enchantment removal in a crisis, and the rest of the time its just plain regular removal. It also only takes white, unlike mortify that needs white and black and doesn't exile the target.

If your main boarding 4 Paths and 4 O-Rings and you still need more removal I could see it being used, but really past those 2 you're going another color usually for removal. I think WIzards must have just decided white doesn't really need any more removal.

In my opinion this card has the best art in all of Wolrdwake - I am pleased to see I am not the only person who likes it. :)
(and yes, it does look amazing as a foil)
As for the gameplay side of things: yes, it would have been more powerful/competitive if it was an Instant, but what Sorcery wouldnt?
This card is great in ZEN-WWK Limited: it is versatile enough to hit creatures, auras and quests, and since it exiles rather than destroys, it is the bane of Zendikons, Nissa's Chosen, creatures with Regenerate, and black decks that run Dead Reckoning and Soul Stair Expedition etc. And with all the mana accel in the format, 5 mana isnt actually as much as it sounds...
I wouldnt run it in constructed (for obvious reasons), but that doesnt change the fact that I love this card. :)

If Path and O ring disappear after Scars of Mirrodin is released, this will be become more popular.
Finally! removal spells are going to become so much less powerful than they have been. No Path, no terminate, no o rings, NO MAELSTROM PULSE! among others. My favorite creatures will live longer!
I made a mono white deck with all the prominent white removal spells in standard plus this. I found that casting Iona's Judgment is really fun! No joke!

This should be at least an instant... cuzz 5CMC and sorcery is just too much for exiling a creature or an enchantment. Its ok for Draft or Sealed Deck but constructed noo waaay.

Expensive, but the ability to permanently get rid of any threatening creature or irritating enchantment is pretty handy. Plus, unlike the other exiles for 
, this won't rape your bank account!
