Ha! Amusing. It will do nothing if the only creatures on the field are vanilla... well, I guess it'll untap your creatures that attacked. But it's a universal Ghostway for anything with ETB effects, such as your marquee Force cycle of mythics; also functions as Brand, Aether Snap, and sets off a ton of triggers.

Two notes: 1) I think this is a bit more expensive than it needs to be. 2) It's pretty weird for this to destroy when it doesn't actually leave the creatures destroyed. Could this just exile them all and then return them to the field? (I guess this would also normally be rare, but I guess I could see it as a draft-around-me uncommon if {w}{b} have a theme of ETB effects, death triggers, or similar.)

I want to make it 4 CMC, but I feel like it'll be too powerful in what it does at uncommon. Black has a theme of ETB triggers while white has a theme of upkeep matters =P soooo

I'll try playtest it at 4 cmc and at instant

Though that just becomes a really expensive fog too. I guess "flash of the Occult" can also be "flashed" to scare creatures out of combat xD
