The card is just too random. You need to have this card in your hand, a lot of mana available, your opponent must have permanents in play that are worth getting the copies of, and your opponent must have multiple copies of those permanents in his deck AND still left in his library (not in hand, graveyard, play, exiled or whatnot). That's too many "if"s, even though killing legends this way could be fun.
Also, the card is best when you use it on stuff that is expensive and powerful. But the more expensive a card is, the more unlikely it is that your opponent will have a lot of them in his deck.

Great way to build up a small army of common creatures you know your opponent has more then 1 of.

But Zulp, if you play the same planeswalker, it'll just die. So basically, this card is a legend-type killer, a planeswalker killer, an expensive small creature, and situationally useful if used on a big creature.
Not sure I like this card too much.

YES! This doesn't have the ruling that Clarion Ultimatum has!!! So you CAN target an opponent's Splintering Winds token with this, then, if they ran Splinter then you could get it out of your deck and PUT A SORCERY INTO PLAY!!!

Great way to kill legends.

I picked up a few of these during Guildpact, trusting that in the future I'd have a regular multiplayer group and they'd have decks that I'd be able to memorise. I was right! ... it's just that my friends and I play EDH, so there are no duplicates to steal. :(
So, if you're playing a format that doesn't allow rite of replication, is slow enough to allow you to play this card and isn't EDH... you're in luck!

I always liked this card, and it disrupted a lot of decks I've played. Killing Legends while at the same time depriving an opponent of another copy of it and looking through his/her deck is always fun for 4 mana. And when there aren't legends to kill, you just grab something that looks good on the table. 4 mana gives you a choice of anything on the other side of the table, takes it from your opponent's deck, and it can be replicated. great surprise when someone throws down a huge monster or something annoying you'd like to throw back at them.

It's cool enough. Kill legends and PWs, get lands, and random other stuff that's good at the time. Certainly unique

Use it against a Relentless Rats deck.

Yeah, with infinite blue mana and the ability to replay this every turn, I'd play this in a deck to do just that. That'd be pretty lulzy. Even lulzier with a Leyline of Anticipation out. Should probably figure a way to do that now . . . or eventually. Eh, I'll get around to it.
CR 307.4. Sorceries can’t enter the battlefield. If a sorcery would enter the battlefield, it remains in its previous zone instead.
So... nope.

I will be running this in my EDH deck, put this spell on the stack, then bounce the target to the opponents Library. when you resolve the spell you will be able to find your target.

Don't forget, it can copy lands, artifacts and enchantments too. And it removes the copy from your opponent's library.
Edit: Updated comment so it still holds true with the new Legendary rule.

In EDH if you have infinite mana you could take every copy of each type of basic land your opponents' control out of their decks. Or you could play a spell that kills all your opponents when you have infinite . I know which I'd pick though (the former.)
