I think the typeline says Sorcery. Even so, it's better than Rift at dealing with tokens and cheap stuff. Of course, Ratchet Bomb does almost the same job for token removal and any color can play that.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
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.

Also, this isn't necessarily stronger.
For the same CC as Evacuation, this will only bounce stuff CMC 3 or less.
Yes, but for UU it kills all tokens, which is not irrelevant. If it is instant, it also has the ability to save your chump blockers, while removing their chump blockers.
vs token it's wrath effect for UU. It's good enough as sb card
Doesn't get the most important tokens in Modern (Splinter Twin generated ones, which usually have CMC 3). It does get Lingering Souls and a couple other cards.
Now in Vintage... "UU - Instant - Target Monastery Mentor or Young Pyromancer bursts into tears as everything they've worked so hard to do in their whole life vanishes into fat air"
EDIT: My post was under the assumption it was an instant - if it's a sorcery, this card is junk that might see fringe use in Standard.

This. In my mind this a complete board wipe for 5cmc on average. Combined with Snapcaster Mage this becomes nuts as you get to reuse your snap and clear the board. I think this will push control decks back into the tier 1 and 2 for modern.

No idea because my favorite decks keep getting banned or having the rules changed against them

Very decent as an instant. Unplayable as a sorcery. Gotta figure out that text line!

I'd certainly at least sideboard a UU sorcery that wipes tokens with other modes, at least in Standard. "Unplayable" seems like a bit much. This could be quite good.

Sorry, I always just instinctively evaluate for Modern and forget the other formats. Totally might be decent elsewhere. But in Modern, it's only playable as an instant. Otherwise, it's terrible there.

Why has no one mentioned the fact that this allows you to recur manifested creatures back to your hand? Morphs have no mana cost.

It’s like the universe screams in your face, “Do you know what I am? How grand I am? How old I am? Can you even comprehend what I am? What are you, compared to me?” And when you know enough science, you can just smile up at the universe and reply, “Dude, I am you.”

Largely because using it for that purpose is incredibly unattractive. If we had a sorcery that said, "UU: Sacrifice X creatures and Draw X cards", it would probably be unplayable. This is worse than that.

I'm aware of that-
It just seems a bit strange that we've gotten four "Evacuation-like" cards in as many years.
Devastation Tide - Cyclonic Rift - Whelming Wave - This.
Also, this isn't necessarily stronger.
For the same CC as Evacuation, this will only bounce stuff CMC 3 or less.

given that it seems to have a colorless expansion symbol (ie- common or uncommon).
I would love for them to print Instant, mass removal at uncommon,
but it doesn't seem like the type of thing they'd do.

I knew they weren't likely to give us this as an uncommon Instant.
That's really too bad.
Maybe they'll print the rare, Instant version someday.

Compare it to Cyclonic Rift and I think this would cost X1UU as an instant.
Retract is a 1 mana instant that bounces all artifacts. This is a 2CMC minimum sorcery. I doubt it.
Seems like Hurkyll's Recall would just be way better here than that. Plus, there is a precedent for using Recall in combo anyways.
If there's something you want to keep on the board, just make 'X' one lower than its CMC and clear out everything smaller. Evacuation can't do that.
