I was very worried about the rotation of Cyclonic Rift, but this seems like a very nice replacement. Not exactly the same (only hits creatures), but has definite benefits over the Rift (cheaper (vs. overloaded) and puts the creatures INTO the deck). I love it.
I agree, hope this isn't our "wrath" for a while, but I really do like the card. Seems like it could lead to a frustrated opponent, but we all know that giving opponents choices is not always the best...
Edit: Visited Big Magic last year while I was in Tokyo....awesome shop with some really good deals. Cool that they are getting their own spoilers now.
Def playable but is easily outclassed by any wrath effect due to them being able to get back Mistcutter, etc. Still might be playable along with one as a 1 or 2 of.
When I first read this, I missed the part that said top. I thought it said the opponent chooses to put them on the bottom. "That's it? Either they put it on the bottom or nothing happens? Lame." Then I noticed top or bottom and realized how damn good this card actually is.

Top or bottom of library doesn't matter much. If they pick top, we know what they are drawing for the next turn or beyond. If they pick bottom, the creature is gone and isn't going to come back for the rest of the game.

That's true. I'm not up with standard enough to know if there are shenanigans that can be had from stacking the top of the deck...especially now that there is a focus on scry. Anyway, I'm super pumped about this card....I love tempo and this is just a blowout. Pair with rev and some counters and it's mean.
HOLY !#@^#&$I#^&^!#!!! My jaw just hit the floor! That tempo is... omg guys I love this core set.

Soooooooo is everyone skipping the "attacking" part, or?
Yeah I think they are, this card isn't a better Evacuation. It is still not a bad sideboard option against aggro decks, since the assumption is they swing out every turn to kill control ASAP.
Revelation decks will be stupid-powerful until the rotation...
I really don't think control wants or needs this atm. after you played your verdict t4, theres not much left that aether spiral could affect. Cyclonic rift is so much better until rotation.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
Great EDH card! This is also going to be an absolute monster in the Two Headed Giant sealed pre-release event I always do. That's a serious upgrade from Aetherize.
"Thank you WotC! Blue needed more ways to remove creature threats at instant speed. We had always dreamed of cards that could be named things like Evacuate or Aetherize... or even Cyclonic Rift. Now that we finally have one of these cards, we hope to finally see more in the future.

This card is great for control in the current standard meta. Maybe not main deck, but definitely sideboard. Completely gets around boros/golgari charms, which definitely have been hurting me lately.

Why would this mean no 4 mana wrath effect?
