                               Six is
                              a lot, but I still see the card getting
                              played.  It has cycling so you can run
                              through it early or when not needed.  You
                              don't play it over Wrath, but in addition to
                              it.  I think people may be surprised when U/W
                              shows up with this thing and blows up the world
                              with it. In
                              limited, it's a first pick and an obvious
                              game-swinger.  Even a reason to play white if
                              you're not already. 
                              Constructed:3.5 
                              Limited: 5  |

                                So here is the block
                                Wrath. At 6 mana, it is really more of a
                                Nevinyrral's Disk than a wrath. The cycling is a
                                nice bonus, but I hardly ever see it being used.
                                This will get played in block, and that's about
                                it. The control decks looking for a 5th Wrath
                                will use Kirtar's Wrath instead, since the
                                control player may have a random Compulsion or
                                something like that out. 
                               
                              
                                  
                               
                              
                                In limited, it's a
                                Wrath. I'd play it, as it has the definite
                                possibility of saving me.

                              Purify and Wrath of God rolled into one! Apart
                              form 
                              the fact that this card doesn't bury creatures (it 
                              only destroys them whigh means they can
                              regenerate), 
                              the real thing that will stop this card from
                              seeing 
                              play is its casting cost. There are so many fast
                              deck 
                              around at the moment that waiting until turn 6 for 
                              your wrath of god is unacceptable. The only deck
                              this 
                              card could fit into is U/W millstone.
                              Unfortunately, 
                              when invasion rotates out it will take fact or
                              fiction 
                              with it which leaves the only good blue card
                              drawing 
                              spell (apart from read the runes) will be
                              compulsion 
                              which dies when you play Akroma's vengeance. A 2
                              in 
                              Standard constructed. 
                               
                              In block constructed if you want a wrath of god
                              effect 
                              you pretty much have to play this card so it will
                              see 
                              some use. A 3.5 in onslaught block constructed. 
                               
                              I'll give this card a 3 when your behind on
                              permanents 
                              playing the vengeance will help you, when your
                              ahead 
                              it will harm you.

                              When I first heard of this card, I heard of it as,
                              "The new Disk." 
                               
                              I really don't think it is.  It certainly is
                              solid, though, and it is 
                              very useful.  If is a draft bomb, 99.9% of
                              the time taken first.  It 
                              will be rare that you find a better card in the
                              pack.  
                               
                              In constructed, six mana is hefty for just about
                              anything.  thsi effect 
                              could be worth it, but it isn't the new disk
                              because it's limited to 
                              white, it is 6 mana, it's a sorcery, and there's
                              no sitting for a turn. 
                               This card will see play with Wrath of God if
                              U/W catches on, which is 
                              almost certainly will with that stupid
                              Mobilization deck catching wind 
                              right now. 
                               
                              Outside of Type II, I don't think it will see
                              play.  Too many alternatives.
