Ooooo.... I like it, an opponent targetting genesis wave and epic experiment. Seems insanely good for EDH and I wouldn't mind trying it out in some sort of midrange/control/ramp Sultai deck in standard either, probably not as a 4 of but running 1-2 seems like it would make for some good times.
The artwork looks a little off compared to the other cards we've seen. A little too cartoony. Numbering also looks off. Should be 2**, but looks like 173.

that's what I'm building for standard, I'll probably have a split 1-1 with this and empty the pits

I like it a lot. It's not strictly better than genesis wave at all since you have no control over your opponents deck. That said, with all the midrange goodies spoiled so far for this set, I could see this card doing really well in a controlling Sultai deck as a finisher. I love it.
Can anyone find a source for this (or any of the non-Jeskai Ascendancy spoilers on mythic spoiler)? They have posted bad spoilers in the past, just these past two weeks in fact, so I am not inclined to trust them without some sources.
With Surrak confirmed that lends a tiny bit more credibility to this card, so I'll keep the faith until someone can prove where exactly the art comes from.
Half the other cards that were spoiled earlier with hazy pics have been confirmed. It's probably a good bet at this point to believe this one is real too.
So what's the fastest way we can ramp into this in standard? We have dorks, but we don't have a ton of ramp spells. BUG control would probably be the safest way to play it.
I also wish this had been Grixis or Dimir colors, those are the decks that usually love to steal. In EDH, there's not really a Sultai commander who really synergizes with this - but I'll have to make a Sultai EDH anyway, because I really want to play this!

If the Vikings were around today, they would probably be amazed at how much glow-in-the-dark stuff we have, and how we take it for granted.

Eh. You'd be better off just running four of mystic, caryatid, and kiora's follower if you just want the ramp. Haven and market festival are really "meh". You could also essentially run mono-G devotion with nykthos and just enough U and B sources like caryatid, the tri lands and all the GU and GB scrys and pains with nykthos. Be a little slow because of tap-lands but will lead to some stupid numbers coming from nykthos with an elf, caryatid, courser, and polukranos on board. Would lead to a rather silly casting of this on turn 5 or 6 with x at 10 or so. Although at that point I think you'd be better off just playing Mono-G and casting see the unwritten or even genesis hydra.
I think it definitely works best in a control shell, though, with caryatid and courser for fixing, Kiora, maybe ashiok depending on which way the meta leans, and plenty of removal.

"Casual" as in "Kitchen table" or as in "Occasional Standard"? Because if it's the former, I don't think you're going to have that much trouble banning the cards in your playgroup.

I should never have to self ban anything if people are doing their jobs properly at HQ. It they didn't insist on taking control of the format, then fine, why should they care what is busted or not in EDH, but there is no excuse for printing this card when it is broken before seeing print. They even have some tool on the homepage who does EDH articles all the time. Sloppy, stupid, and pathetic.

In a world with infinite mana, I still don't think this is better than GWave, but it's probably more amusing. Usually, I like to be playing a deck that's stronger than my opponents, so I'd rather be Gwaving myself, than doing this to them, but I guess every deck is different (and some could just have both). I just know my Azusa deck is going to be the target of this thing every time, just like it is for Bribery, even though there's 50+ land in it.
-edit- It's obviously not standard playable, but that won't keep people from trying.

Pretty sure they still don't have any control on the format, the only thing they do is publish the Commander products. Perhaps you should go to mtgcommander.net and voice your concerns there.
Also, people shouldn't make mistakes, but the only way to not make them is to do nothing. And they try to do cool new things all the time.
Yes!!! This is 100% awesome!!! A card that takes aspects of old cards and fuses them together in a new, fun, and flavorful way earns an A+ in my book!

This is a fun card but hardly "format ruining." If you have enough mana to make this actually good (and that would take alot of mana...) you have innumerable ways to do something even more broken or just ending the game period. There is nothing wrong with this card power level wise and while I might want to play it just for the novelty it likely wouldn't even make my deck if I was actually trying to make a competitive deck in EDH. Sadly I'd say the same for most other formats. It's just too expensive and there are better things to do with you mana.
The very fact that this uses your opponent's deck prevents this from being broken. You can't stack the top like with Epic Experiment or G-Wave, nor can you even control what you'll hit. The spell is big, flashy, and fun, without being degenerate. This is exactly the kind of card I want them to make for EDH.
