Kinda like a Maelstrom Vindicate. Won’t beat out Vindicate for me, and I’m not sure I want two 3cmc Orzhov removal spells, but this seems like a great card. I’ll have to think on it.
The main downside vs pulse is that it won’t hit multiple nontokens with the same name, but that is mitigated in cube where there are no duplicates.
Cube Downsides:
Can’t nuke a card+Cards that are copies of it (metamorph, image, etc)
Can’t target your own stuff
Upsides:
Won’t nuke your own clone of an opposing thing
Won’t nuke your own starting deck card that an opponent copied
Won’t nuke your own in deck card if opponent has the same card in their starting deck (league play only)
Exiles
Overall I do think this is better than pulse but I’m not if that’s enough for small orzhov sections — may not be enough to beat vindicate and running both is kind of awkward (though plenty of people will).

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.
This is a Vindicate 2.0, besides this one does not destroy lands the exile ability is a great upside. I think this is top3 in my Orzov section

Missing lands seems like a side-grade for hitting tokens, and could be an upgrade depending on how your cubes built.
This is a good Pulse variant though, and I like it quite a bit more than Anguished Unmaking.
