Very solid card, no way around that. I always loved cycling cards, especial back in the astral slide days.
Mtmills is right, wrath would still get you, better to ghostway if you want to avoid that.
And as far as multicolor goes (Weretarrsque) i think half is an overstatement seeing as how if either half of a multicolored card is the chosen color, protection will save it. Black and red is stilll BLACK and RED. But i do see your point if your refering to mono colored threats in seperate colors. Half? no, A quarter? Maybe.

This card won't stop day of judgment. Day of judgment does not target. You cannot use this with day of judgment for a one sided board wipe.

The cheap cycling really makes this spell worthwhile:
Open the gates, save the team or get something else, great.

Don't forget, this card can basically turn all your creatures unblockable as well (assuming most of your enemy's creatures are in one color), setting you up for a final swing. The Cycling is just gravy.

Glory is often better, of course, but not all decks have a convenient way of dropping it into the graveyard. If you find yourself playing Glory then hoping the opponent will kill it, you might want to consider Akroma's Blessing instead.

This wouldn't save your creatures from Wrath of God since wrath doesn't target/damage your creatures.

Against a mono-color deck, great. But given that multi-colored is much more common, it is only half as useful.

Akroma's Blessing + Wrath of God = everyone else creatureless.
