Strictly better flavour text than Insurrection.
But yeah, multiplayer.

I like this card. I have a kresh the bloodbraided EDH that uses sac engines like goblin bombardment, altar of dementia, and phyrexian tower. I use a lot of red "gain control of creatures" attack with them, then sac them.

This should have been in the devour precon instead of the cascade one. OMNOMNOMEVERYONEELSE'SCREATURESNOM

They weren't kidding when they said they'd print cards specifically for multi-player.

probably a Fixed Insurrection. Depends on whether you think Insurrection needed fixing, and whether you think comparing this to Drain Life makes any sense whatsoever (for a turn, not only are you gaining creatures but they're losing creatures, so maybe you can get away with Incremental Steal being good enough?)
I wouldn't really be comfortable playing this in a 3-player game- too much chance that someone's board will be too big for stealing two creatures to be a good enough blowout card- one of the players at the table is bound to be playing some kind of rushing army-summoning deck.
In a 5+ player game, you can double your army, and target One guy who is being a problem. You might have to get permission from the table to use this effectively though.
Insurrection IS a little crazy at Multiplayer games though, actually enabling one person to blow up two or more players at once. I like the one that leaves blockers for your army to fight through, but this does... (see all)

That awkward moment when you realize your advisors are about to mutiny and put your head on a stick...
This is 
's Blatant Thievery. Since it's until end of turn, having a sac engine handy is a good idea. Why not devour them all?

Edra, Merfolk Sovereign should be a card, by the way.
Also, I really don't care for this card. I prefer to utilize cards that will benefit in both 1v1 games and multiplayer games. If I have this in an EDH or Planechase deck, somebody challenges me to a 1v1. Now I know that 1/100 cards in my EDH deck won't play well against him, because for that ability, I could get it for 
, but if I draw it now I'll be playing it for considerably more. Murphy's Law says I'll draw it early, too. Not that it's a bad card, but I really prefer cards that will play well in 1v1, and better in multiplayer, instead of really well in multiplayer, but rather poorly in 1v1.

Brion Stoutarm EDH with all the auto-included untap effects! Or anything that lets you sacrifice creatures you control for beneficial effects.

Groan-worthy flavour text. No-one ever talks like that, unless they're trying to be funny. Of course, the entire point of the flavour text may be that it's just a joke.
