This is a prospective card for the upcoming Dominaria set, a throwback card referencing Force of Will. Like FoW, it has a cost requiring paying 1 life and exiling a blue card from your hand, but whereas FoW lets you cast it from your hand for that cost, this version requires that it be in your graveyard first.

Counter target spell.
Flashback—Pay 1 life, Exile a blue card from your hand.
Admittedly this could actually turn out better than FoW itself in the right deck; namely, any deck with discard outlets.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Yeah; yours is too good for standard. I suppose as an uncard it might be fun, but still...
