Complete junk. 3 mana, plus all of your pernaments and your hand? Just to make someone lose 5 life?
Storm Crow is strictly better. No, I don't mean better. I mean STRICTLY better.

Wow! Pretty much the worst card ever, even in combo decks. I'd rather pack a deck of Jump's than this. The thing is, if you're up against a blue mage and he counters it, you are pretty much screwed, since the discarding and sacrificing is a part of its costs. You can't even re-counter his counterspells since you have no cards in hand when it goes onto the stack. If you want a game finisher, why not go with Shrapnel Blast? And if you wanna make a combo deck, why not choose the dozens of other possibilities out there. Even something cheesy like Illusions of Grandeur + Donate makes more sense than any combo decks with this,

It could be handy if you have Savra out

I wish this had a more Core-Set friendly name, so it could get reprinted. Something like "Undying Spite" or "Spiteful Hatred" or whatnot.
This is perfect for a finisher card in Kitchen Table Black deck, and what a STORY it tells!
"Dear Mr. Jerk Wizard. I hate you. I hate you a lot. I hate your mother, your mother's mother, your brother, your sister, your pet dog, your next door neighbor, and your high school prom date. I will go to any lengths within my power to cause you any amount of pain, because I really, really, really hate you.
I will relentlessly pursue this goal of causing you pain until I have exausted all resources that are available to my entire coffers, because....I....HATE....YOU"
It also sends lots of cards to the graveyard. I'm sure that's abusable somehow. Second Sunrise sounds too easy. I want something more evil-sounding than a Sunrise. Let's go see what Premium Deck Series: Graveborn has to offer! >:D
Oh. Oh my. Yes, that's quite tasty. That's exactly what I was ... (see all)

Anyone who thinks they can cast spells from their hand before this resolves for them need to re-read the card. Discarding your hand and sacrificing is all part of the -cost- of playing the card ie - it's all done before this goes onto the stack.
Would be great to see Wizards do a revision of this card?

@Arachibutyrophobia Did you seriusly call this the Worst card ever!?
Anyways it's an okay card. But there is no way I would ever use it for anything other then a finish, Barren Glory, or anything else that would benefit you for getting rid of you're hand/field.

Wow, discard my hand and sacrifice ALL permanents, and for what? 5 life loss for opponent? Heard of corrupt? Lava axe? Consume spirit?
The drawback iss way too immense for the effect, and if it is meant to be a finisher, why does it cost 3 mana? Crap.

Heres a fast game...
Academy rector in play. Then cast this and bring out The cheese stands alone... or barren glory as they call it nowdays.
Yeah, I think that about breaks the bejesus out of that card.
Edit: Oh now I see that people have noticed... thought I read all the posts. Meh.

Yeah.. a good card. Throw one of these in your deck and hope you lift it at your greatest need. So if the opponent got you to 1 life or something with some random tattermunges, what do you have to lose? Just grab the mana from your swamps, swing with your Phyrexian Negator and blast this! He's left a 3/3 to block the negator and thinks that his 7 life is good to keep him alive 'til the next turn? Wrong. You lose all, he loses the game. 4/5 and I'm running 1 in my legacy mono black ^^

try this card with barren glory, and you automatically win! Barren Glory's ability is "if there are no other pernaments on yourside of the field and there are no cards in your hand, you win the game"!
