It just so happens to be good utility in Zada. Another recent new card thrill of possibility is strictly better than wild guess and tormenting voice. It was most likely made as a fair replacement for faithless looting in modern. Yet it immediately fit in two different storm decks I run in edh as 'yard filler.
I do understand the idea behind this topic. I already mentioned tectonic reformation above - that card has little use in draft and questionable use in other formats. But it's a new auto-include in most mono-red edh decks.
Just making sure we all know the example card in this topic isn't legal in standard.
To the topic - I think this card specifically is intended to be just another bulk draft utility card. It came in the same set as seasoned pyromancer, tectonic reformation, thundering djinn, and even a Kess reprint.
