Whoa, old-school direct colour hate. Way too cheap for a one-sided wrath.

I wouldn't qualify it as color hate when it affects 4 out of 5 colors.

Given this does Mass Calcify (+{5}{w}{w}) + Purify (+{3}{w}{w}) AND has Cycling {2} (+{1} in mana cost?), it should cost wayyyyyyy more. It's like Akroma's Vengeance that's better on almost every front. I think I would cost it as somewhere along the lines of {6}{w}{w} or {5}{w}{w}{w} at least as I see it being comparable to Decree of Pain somewhat IMO.

Akroma's Vengeance is the clear inspiration here. In-format it's pushed, but not as good as you think (it is for a custom format with weird rules). There is no guarantee that you will control white creatures when you cast it. And the triple W cost can be prohibitive if you've chosen to lean into other colors. I effectively see the 'nonwhite' clause as flavor-based trinket text. In a world of mono colored factions, the white leader wouldn't order the destruction of her own people.
