Not that the ability isn't fairly common as it is, but its suggested in todays article "Halfway Completed" that there will be at least one wrath effect card in New Phyrexia, possibly black.
The discussion regarding Phyrexian Rebirth:
EVL 3/10: New card from Phyrexian team.
Sw 3/11: This feels really black...perhaps make the creature a spirit? Or something like that?
ZH 3/11: I love this.
AF 3/19: I love it too, but I love [:)CENSORED:)] more. How can we make both? Should one be black?
TML 3/19/2010: [:)CENSORED:)] feels black to me.
KEN 3/21/2010: This is white if it makes a holy X/X Avatar token, but not Phyrexian flavor. Could be 4BB make an X/X Demon. If the token flies, could reuse Pete Venters demon token (Reiver Demon look-alike). Then I wonder why not make a guy that ETB Wrath like Reiver Demon?
RBM 3/23: Awesome! A wrath for my white weenie deck. Thematically fun, although agreed that a white horror is strange (unless you're talking about me on the dance floor.)
KD 3/23: This feels "white Phyrexian" to me. Black could have a card like this in any block, but the white version only makes sense here. That makes me want it to be white, but YMMV.
MR (3/25/10): I like cards like this for white Phyrexian. It's white but it's not something we'd normally do in white.
ZH 4/5: I like this card, but Elspeth/This/[:)CENSORED:)] is a whole lot of Wraths. We just need to be on the lookout for lots of similar effects.
They also say in the article that [CENSORED] doesn't refer to black sun's zenith. Any thoughts?

how would it be anything like that? it wouldn't be playable in white, like they stated in the multiverse comments.

I like the idea of the Phyrexian cost being attached. Especially like the idea of phyrexian costs on anti-aggro cards (like the Ghostly Prison-esque card). You pay to use it early, but it's probably worth it. If it was 3(P/B)(P/B) as a sorcery, or 4()() as an instant or something. Is 3 colorless+4 life worth a wrath? More, less..?
It was at that moment that I realized: I'm kinda just making these things up. We can just write the rules the way we want them to work. People will have fun, and people will get it.
Couldn't they just be referring to Karn's ultimate sweep-and-a-whole-lot-more ability? Karn is the kind of card that there must have been color discussions about, with the final decision being colorless of course, but a planeswalker is the sort of card we'd recognize when we see it, as the article suggests.
You mean to say that "clear creatures from the board and replace them with a creature" isn't similar to "clear everything from the board and replace it with a few things of your choice"?
What if they went the poison route?
2BB
Sorcery
Destroy all creatures. For each creature destroyed this way, that creature's controller gets a poison counter
OR (because that would be way too powerful)

Unless the OP left out some text, there is no guarantee that CENSORED is even a black card. One person asked if it SHOULD be, but there was no answer to that. Nor is there anything that says it will be Phyrexian. They were talking about Phyrexian Rebirth feeling Phyrexian with its death/big token combo.
This I believe is important. What kind of Wrath would you want to use in a weenie deck? Something like...
1BBPhyBPhyB
Sorcery
Destroy all creatures. For each creature destroyed this way, that creature's controller put an X/X (color) Horror token onto the battlefield.
Edit: Phyrexian Purple? Phurplexian
The Wrath for weenie deck is referring to phrexian rebirth.
Niv:
I can see by that stupid look on your face you're confused; "Why would I reveal this to you now?" Simply put, you have no chance to escape, I put my plan into motion 35 blocks ago.
I think it's be a black DoJ, with 2 Phybrid mana. There wouldn't be any other drawback than the 4 life loss, and there would be no net gain e.g.x/x token.

This thought seems waaaaay out there, but its different, so off the top of my head:
Phyrexian Killstuff Card 3BB
Sacrifice all creatures you control.
Creatures get -x/-x until end of turn where x is the sacrificed creatures total power.
Edit:
Wouldnt be too much of a drawback if you were wiping the board anyway, but it would require having things to lose.

Pay attention to the context. What's being discussed is an unknown board sweeper in addition to Phyrexian Rebirth and Black Sun's Zenith.

Since they were discussing what color the unknown card should be, it's not a reprint.

But what I would do is 1BBpBpB: destroy all creatures.
When I read the article, I assumed they were discussing another MBS card, not a NPH card.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

"Well it's viable in EDH."
As a red mage, I would love to see nonwhite decks playing this. The creatures I have on the board at any given time are rarely worth 6 damage.
