So...a card named Sudden Disappearance isn't an Instant? Doesn't sound very sudden to me.

5W: What blockers?
...and that's pretty much all this card will ever do.

The very first card I thought of when I saw this thing was Sundial of the Infinite ... drool, mean, and will probably evoke a concede on the spot.

contrary to the article, if you exiled all your allies , unless your opponenet is also playing allies there are none on the battlefield for jawari shapeshifters to copy, he'll still count towards total triggers but won't be able to " enter play as a measly Hada Freeblade, but after a Disappearance it can return as a Warlord."

This card does a LOT. It gives you a one-turn window into ANY defense, whether or not it involves creatures; removes all counters from your opponents permanents (or your own! depending on what they are); kills all token creatures; untaps all your permanents; triggers all your comes-in-to-play triggers.
Looking at it as an all-time-great board disruption spell, it might be about a mana too slow for constructed. Looking at it as a build-around-me card ... it shouldn't be too hard to make this say "I win" over and over again.
At a minimum, this will be a staple of free-for-all multiplayer for ages to come.
This card makes me want to get back into casual constructed for the first time in over a year.

Another use for this card is negating the drawback on Hunted creatures (while simultaneously letting them get past blockers).

I did the same. But then I reread Sudden Disapperance and realized it says "at the beginning of the next end step". So I guess you can't exile their permamanents forver with this 2 card combo.
You can still make them play their turn without permantents.... If you can reliably find a recursion for this sorcery, you can do that ad nauseum, which is a really mean thing to do.
Still, there should be a way to brek the interaction of this with Sundial of the Infinite...
EDIT: my bad. Apparently it works. D:

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

That interaction works. You allow the "return everything" delayed trigger onto the stack, then you exile the trigger with the sundial. This is literally a seven mana exile all nonland permanents target player controlls.

Yeah.. another bulk rare. And the best thing we can say about it is that with the help of a marginally playable magus it acts like a white plaguewind. Well the not so sudden disappearence is not even usable in commander as a political action card because of the sorcery limitation on it. Bet it started out as a 5 mana instant......  then they tried it and (probably) would have been better of cutting it.
