Sure, there is a chance of spending $4 on a booster and getting the Mythic Rare $30 super card. There is also a chance of surviving putting your tongue in a light socket.
This is a pretty good card and I like how flexible it is for mass removal but I feel like in most games where I want to cast a 5 mana wrath I'll have mana rocks and artifacts I probably won't want to sacrifice, which means this is more often then not probably going to be a 5 mana Day of Judgement. I think I prefer Fumigate.
Flexibility is nice, but I don't think there's a lot of value for Purify in cube. As a modal sweeper, this is no Catastrophe, and I like Fumigate / Tragic Arrogance much more.
Purify with a destroy all creatures option. Might not be good enough as wrathing on turn 3 is important against aggro decks.
Thoughts?
