A ramping deck can cast this on turn 3 to bring Emrakul and ask the opponent to sacrifice more permanents than he has.
And guess what happens to your sacrificed Emrakul and other cards you wasted? They all go back into your library so you can do this all over again.
As a bonus, you automatically counter all mill decks.
Fun, fun, fun.

Played as a red counterpart to Flash, it works well with Protean Hulk...

By the time I get to 5 mana, I'd rather wait an extra couple turns to hardcast my creature and keep it permanently, and not get card disadvantage.

Seems like the combo with Emrakul in a Modern deck turned this into a pretty good card.
I managed to find a couple of these priced as bulk rares in binders at two different stores even after the market drove them up to $13 cards. Goes to show you that some places sometimes don't keep track very well of what their cards are worth.

If you want to reduce the cost, just use Long-Forgotten Gohei.
