A new Through the Breach variant. Terminal Velocity costs one more, but in return you are getting what will most likely amount to a boardwipe. While there are plenty of ways to cheat cards into play from hand nowadays, Sneak Attack and Through the Breach have remained till now the only two methods that have haste built-in. And unlike its predecessors, Terminal Velocity gives you some insurance for if your opponent has an answer to your creature. Unfortunately, the boardwipe is a double-edged sword, as fatties that add to the board on ETB or attack are going to shoot themselves in the foot. Still, this type of effect is so good and so rare that I think it's worth considering.
I'm a bit surprised this card hasn't caught on. I would love to have more redundancy to the Sneak/ Breach deck.
Too expensive for what it's worth. At 5-6 mana I'd rather play options in other colors like Incarnation Technique / Selvala's Stampede / Nexus of Becoming. 6 mana is too expensive for something that only cheats from hand, Nexus of Becoming at least draws cards and has artifact synergies.

Can also just cast a creature at that point like Overlord of the Boilerbilges / Trumpeting Carnosaur / Summon: Kujata / Inferno Titan.
