I love this card. =) The effect is so monstrously huge that it would make anybody sit up and take notice!
...which, funnily enough, makes me think twice about how I would use it in multiplayer. Like so many big effects, in a duel this is nothing but upside if you cast it; in multiplayer, though, this spell will paint a huge bullseye on your forehead, since the other players will (quite reasonably) want to kill you before your army untaps. You would be ill-advised to play this spell unless your opponents are largely spent, or unless you've got something else to help back it up.
As starfox444 and 2pcsofcandy commented, the most straightforward solution is Amulet of Vigor. Alternatively, you could try and make the most out of your army on the same turn you've cast it. Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar can turn your zombies into instant fuel - in fact, enough to flash it back on the same turn! With all those zombie... (see all)

If any card was begging for a Pyroclasm, it's this.

There are six and a half Grave Titans standing outside that building. And they are not happy at all.

Casual multiplayer zombie decks, oh my goodness. It's almost a guarantee that thing will fire off both times.
My playgroup is going to learn to use Day of Judgment the hard way. The very hard way.

"I DON'T recommend Essence of the Wild, as it turns them forcibly into vanilla creatures."
But the Zombie tokens are already vanilla.

My playgroup has recently taken to playing Horde magic. I have a single copy of this in the Zombie horde deck we use.
When we were first starting out, we played a couple games where the horde could cast it and then flashback it right away (since the horde has infinite mana). Then we played a couple games where the horde flashbacked it on the turn after it originally cast it. After that, we agreed that the horde cannot use flashback at all, at least for this card.

Sometimes winning is subtle.
Sometimes it's simply tearing your opponent's face off.

This card is made for EDH. Mirari, Twincast, Reverberate, Fork, Chandra, the Firebrand etc. Going to be so much fun.

Zombies.
How many? AS MANY AS YOU CAN HANDLE! AND THEN SOME!

Now this is what a mythic should be. Big, splashy, powerful in limited, and next to worthless in constructed because of the mana cost and the coming into play tapped. Plus, you can do it twice.
I see many a wrecked face on the kitchen table in the future...
