I like this card because unlike Obliterate, Wrath of God, or Planar Cleansing, this card actually gets rid of everything! I just wish it didn't make you discard your hand.

Apocalypse is a rare, this effect is far beyond the scope of an uncommon, no matter what era you're in, it simply predates the use of colored expansion symbols to indicate rarity.
My favorite combo with Apocalypse is quite simple: Ramp up massive mana (minimum 8), float all of it, then cast Apocalypse. After the board is exiled, you discard your hand, and use the floating mana to cast the Arrogant Wurms, Reckless Wurms, Basking Rootwallas, Gorgon Recluses, Brain Gorgers onto the now barren battlefield. If you can go off around turn 4-5 (not too hard if you're willing to sacrifice everything for manayour opponents will probably have depleted the lands in their hand and won't be able to play anything for a while, leaving your creatures unopposed.

This card should actually read "Game over. Start a new game."
I think the most likely way this allows you to win the game is by making everyone else forfiet, and then beat the living day lights out of you in real life for ruining the game.

This + Hive Mind and you won't be the only one discarding your hand.

Two cards deserve nerdy references to movies about nuclear war. Last Laugh in multiplayer, and this in any format.
