WOAH. This is totally brutal, since it will frequently be leaving people with no hand and no board -- an extremely difficult situation to come back from.

They'd have to have a whole board of creatures. But yes, that was the idea of this card. You believe it should cost more?
I mean if it they have a board, you assume they've put their hand on the board, and if they have cards in hand it means they haven't committed to the board right?
Well, it's 6 mana. So by then they probably have 2 or 3 cards in hands tops. The board obviously has at least 2 or 3 creatures on it; or you wouldn't have bothered to cast this.
If they don't have a small hand, or creatures in play - they haven't been casting stuff and you win anyway.
So yeah. Make it at be symmetrical hand discard, and it looks fairer. A 6-mana board sweep is mean; but not hideous. One that leaves them with no cards; but you with cards; is just impossible for anyone except blue to guard against.
Well I made it symmetrical but I still feel like that wouldn't touch on it's problems. If you're casting a board wipe, as you said, it'll be in your favour. Usually wiping out 3 creatures on the opposing side and you won't really want to do that if you have more than 1 creature. Decks with creatures probably just won't play this.
Well yes. I was angling for "All players discard that many cards".
Or heck; why not go for the exciting "All players discard their hands."
Making the caster discard=creatures of their's that got destroyed will usually be 0 or 1, but=all creatures destroyed is a pretty huge drawback (still possibly interesting space). I might make it "each opponent discards a card for each creature they controlled destroyed this way" and 7 mana.

I really wish I could say "Destroy all hands". Added planeswalkers to the chopping block. This at least means whatever deck youre playing to take advantage of this must be using something other than planeswalkers to break the symmetry.
Compared to In Garruk's Wake it's still balanced. I might have gone too far with this.
