I love the card concept, and Id love to be able to play this in constructed beyond commander but I don't think I will..
However, one thing about the card I don't like, and thats the art. It's too... cute.

I think Wizards is making too many cards that fit well into commander, but don't work in standard.
They should stop focusing all their attention on commander, it's getting annoying.

This is one of the best designed for EDH cards: you are the last one to feel its effect so you can safely play it and expect to have a little havoc among the opponents. After being victims of this card, the tapped out opponents will refuse to remove it until every player have had their share of it and the untapped players with an answer in hand may be pondering whether it is good or not to remove it and let you get away with it. Overall, there will be some good situations around this card.
Of course, it will suck the moment you rip the 2nd one from a pack.
If Limited gets in the way of printing good Constructed cards...

Most Magic players play casual and new players don't like opening up small cards as their rare when they buy boosters.

Obligatory do-nothing anti-life gain enchantment that's in every block and sucks so bad you want to punch yourself in the face when you open it.
um... no. this one kills them dead. all you have to do is have more life than they do.

Really? Then why do we also have stuff like Dreadbore, Abrupt Decay or all these lands that just make mana of two colors at rare too?
You have to admit that is pretty poor as explanation and just good as a cheap excuse.

I don't think most players play casual. I think most play FNM, and commander these days.
Saying most ppl play casual is like saying Wizards shouldn't host tournaments...because no one would show up.

Because Wizards need a few cards that spikes have to pay their *****  off for... And they don't like planeswalker hate at low rarities.

Are you saying commander isn't casual? And if you think that most people play Commander, doesn't that contradict your point that they should make less cards for it?
And no, even if only 10% of players played in tournaments, that would still be a huge number. I think there may be some confusion on what the word "most" means here.
