Choose a number between 0 and 13. Each player sacrifices that many creatures.
Won't break into smaller lists probably, but for lists that are large enough to include Fumigate and other 5CC Wrath+ type cards I think this is a pretty interesting option. Gets around indestructible. Can be situationally amazing in board states where you already have more creatures than your opponent and this enables you to wipe their board and you just lose your expendable threats.
Don't all wraths get around hexproof? lol. And I don't think my cube has any creatures anymore with indestructible or regenerate. I'm also not sure what decks are running wraths that will normally have more creatures than their opponents. This seems like a great card for commander, but worse than basically all the other 5cmc wraths with upside for cube.

Ah, yes....I was watching a bunch of videos about my EDH commander Uril and I think I had hexproof stuck in my head from that. Fixed it to just say indestructible. Agreed wraths tend to go in control strategies, just pointing out the occasional situational upside makes this a Wrath+.
I think folks are sleeping on this. This seems like the best of the 5cmc wraths, and is finally a wrath I don't feel like an idiot running as a 23rd card in a weenie/token deck.
What would you say makes it better than Fumigate or Doomskar?
I really like the Lifegain on Fumigate, and Doomskar is occasionally online very fast.
If you're playing a token deck, or just are playing it into a boardstate where you have more creatures than your opponent, you can keep your best creatures while your opponent doesn't get to keep theirs. I do think it's a very strong 5cmc wrath. I'm not sure about it over Doomskar though, which can be played quickly to stop a strong aggro start.
How that card have run in your cubes? In my cube, this are playing in token/control archetypes and I think that it is better than wraths like Shatter the Sky or Fumigate or equal to Doomskar

I haven't played this card, but as a control card, I think this is a lot worse than Fumigate / Doomskar / Shatter the Sky. I think this is generally outclassed by Parallax Wave / Winds of Abandon for creature based midrange shells, as well as having a lot of competition with Settle the Wreckage.
I still advocate Winds of Abandon - its a fine split between strong removal and strong sweeper.
