We always glimpse draft or do an 8 man with a 450-540, so we always have extra. At 480, you can def increase without coming anywhere close to affecting the power level of the cube, unlike a switch from 360 to 720.
My opponent cast this against me today, I was in a decent position before hand but scooped to it when the pack was opened, when you get a good pack it is going to win a lot of games. It's hard to say how good it will be in the long run, it is a really steep cost for a card that could do next to nothing but it's a very exciting card on either side of the table.
I can see it hanging about for a while as a big, splashable non-creature finisher.
