The art really sells it for me.

With Eye of Ugin out it's only one more than a Wrath or a Day, and can kill indestructibles. Belongs in every Eldrazi-centric deck out there.

Pulled one is a pack i won at the prerelease. Really really good looking card. IMO possible one of the best looking cards ever. It's just awesome looking.
EDIT: @DarthCuddles: Lands are colorless, they are not the colour or colours they rpoduce by default. If something like Painter's servant gives them a colour, then they''ll be sacrificed alongside everything else.
I'm not a big fan of the art. It seems too shiny and high-contrast.
I got one of these, and I have four Painter's Servants, so I've been trying to come up with a practical way to use the two together. So far no good. The closest I can think of is to MoonlaceReya Dawnbringer or something, but that's just way too clunky. Four cards together, two of which are huge, is more than you should need to get an unrecoverable lead. Still, it might be fun for a casual deck.
This card is so awesome, R&D should have printed it on an Eldrazi instead. THIS would have been a nice "when you cast it" effect worth not cheating the creature into play.

It's clear this card is a serious contender in the Standard world. It obliterates aggro, which is one of the best ways to deal with Eldrazi. So I pose this question, what can white do in Standard to deal with it? I mean particularly white weenie aggro decks. I'm running a life gain deck based on Serra Ascendant and Ajani's Pridemate. The problem I have is I flush my hand clean of cards, do some dmg, gain some life, and then by turn 5-8 All of Dust is played and wipes me clean. 4 turns later or less they have an eldrazi out, and if I'm lucky I draw some creature removal. 4-5 turns later after that, if I'm lucky enough to have recovered and played some creatures, they play another All is Dust.
So, what's the best white STD card to deal with All is Dust post Oct. 1st?

Redirect cries in helplessness against this card... then remembers his old pals Deprive, Negate, Mana Leak, and Spell Pierce all cost {U}{U} /OR/ {1}{U}. A colorless equivalent to Planar Cleansing is a very nice addition to the already terrifying artifact swarm, but the fact that it's only +{1} in CMC and that your own permanents can easily survive... your only worry is playing against another artifact deck, which as powerful as such decks have become is rather likely at this point. That, and Planar Cleansing you could avoid with indestructable or regenerating abilities... and it's even got the CMC of {7} to fit the tribe. The art may not be my favorite among the board sweepers (Damnation), but the flavor text is quite nice to read off to anyone unfamiliar with the set. 4.5/5 for an excellent card that ends up all too easy to counter by that phase of the game.

Actually, Quick Sliver's secondary ability (that of giving all slivers flash) wouldn't take effect until the spell resolved and turned into a permanent. You wouldn't be able to play Ghostflame Sliver until you started going through the stack, and by that time, it would be too late to play it before All is Dust resolved, meaning that you WOULD have to sacrifice your slivers.

Player 1 is playing All is Dust. Player 2 is playing Slivers. Player 1 casts All Is Dust. Player 1 has priority and can cast a spell in response, he chooses not to and passes priority to Player 2. Player 2 casts Quick Sliver. Player 2 has priority and can cast a spell in response, he chooses not to and passes priority to player 1, who also does not cast a spell in response. Quick Sliver resolves. Now All Is Dust is next on the stack - priority is given to Player 1, who chooses not to cast a spell, and passes to Player 2, who chooses to cast Ghostflame Sliver. Here's the thing you're misunderstanding about the rules - once the stack starts resolving, you think that no more spells or abilities can be played. But you're wrong. After something has successfully resolved, the next thing on the stack can be responded to again. For an example, your opponent, for whatever reason, hard casts Progenitus. Well, you better counter that, right? You don't have a counter in your hand, though. So you cast Brainstorm in response, and after that resolves and you found your counterspell, you can still counter Progenitus.
So, basically, you're completely wrong and you shouldn't act like you know the rules if you don't, as that only spreads misinformation. Just thought you should know.

How is this ok? Explain to me, in detail, what thing on this card makes it acceptable for this to exist. I hate the Eldrazi so very, very much. They are the only thing Magic has done that makes me angry (I came in after Darksteel). Clever strategy? I have Eldrazi. Well made deck? I have Eldrazi. They require me to break the game to beat them (because be damned if I'll let them win) and that really aggravates me.
2. There's nothing preventing you from countering this card.
3. Artifacts, especially now after Scars block.
4. Your own Eldrazi if you choose to run them.
5. An Eldrazi deck will most likely be running Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi Temple to cast this card, if you know you're going to be facing one you should have some nonbasic land destruction (which you really should have anyway).

No card dies harder to this than Progenitus!!! I mean, a card can't be more colored, and sacrifice circ.umvents the Protection from Everything...
Very nice removal for artifacts and not too difficult to get out. Definitively want 2 of these for side-deck.
@Lord_of_Tresserhorn an update would be nice to explain but it does effect Withengar Unbound. In one of the rules it says colored cards are a color if an effect also says they are and the rules on DFC is that the other side is the color or colors of the circle in front of it's creature types. Withengar Unbound is considered a black creature so All is Dust affects it but not Elbrus, the Binding Blade since it's a colorless artifact.

And anyway, wiping out everyone's entire board in exchange for my lands and creatures seems like a fair trade: I will just cast Kaalia off of my Signets and Sol Ring next turn anyway, and go back to playing my creatures for free....while everyone else is screwed.
Oh, did I mention I'm runnng Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Kormus Bell? You didn't REALLY think I'd play FAIR, did you? ;)

Jokulhaups sounds confusing. Planar Cleansing sounds intimidating. Wrath of God sounds imposing. Supreme Verdict sounds fearsome. Damnation sounds terrifying. All is Dust is creeping existential dread, not an action, but a fact. The most imposing name for a spell in magic. The art does not disappoint either: a massive vista; rich, saturated colors; the sun eclipsed by an eldritch horror. The very landscape is crushed by its birth-screams. Perfect for the transparent eldrazi frame.
The flavor text? Kind of a bust here. It's too long, and kind of a weak sarcastic dig. It clashes with the majestic, terrifying imagery that the rest of the card works so well to cultivate.
Mechanically this card is great. We had colorless board wipes in the form of artifacts before: Nevinyrral's Disk, Oblivion Stone and their ilk. With the Eldrazi's arrival, a sorcery version is fitting. What I love here though is that it is not a simple 'destroy all creatures' wipe. The color restriction and sacrifice make it such a more interesting card. You can build around or combo with it, or just use it as a wrath in a color like green or blue that doesn't have many.
Personally I play it in a morph EDH deck. Face-down creatures are colorless of course.

This was an artistic decision common to all colorless (non-artifact) spells in Rise of the Eldrazi. Take a look at Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, It That Betrays, Ulamog's Crusher, and Pathrazer of Ulamog for a few more examples. Also note that when Ghostfire was reprinted in Knights vs. Dragons, it was given the same frame.
So, in short--yes, a lot of people noticed, since it was one of the defining novelties of the Rise of the Eldrazi set.

And anyway, wiping out everyone's entire board in exchange for my lands and creatures seems like a fair trade: I will just cast Kaalia off of my Signets and Sol Ring next turn anyway, and go back to playing my creatures for free....while everyone else is screwed.
Oh, did I mention I'm runnng Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Kormus Bell?
You didn't REALLY think I'd play FAIR, did you? ;)
EDIT: BongRipper, read Kormus Bell. and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Quite actually, it works just fine! ^_^
It's a very smartly and well designed card. Good job on this one, Wizards R&D. Good job. Now just work your magic and make it cheaper to buy ;_;
This thing is soooooo awesome. EDH staple for years to come, and I loved when it was in standard.
Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi Temple are needed to play this card effectively in any 60 card format though. Or Urzatron. But that works with everything...
4/5 Stars

Planar Cleansing sounds intimidating.
Wrath of God sounds imposing.
Supreme Verdict sounds fearsome.
Damnation sounds terrifying.
All is Dust is creeping existential dread, not an action, but a fact. The most imposing name for a spell in magic. The art does not disappoint either: a massive vista; rich, saturated colors; the sun eclipsed by an eldritch horror. The very landscape is crushed by its birth-screams. Perfect for the transparent eldrazi frame.
The flavor text? Kind of a bust here. It's too long, and kind of a weak sarcastic dig. It clashes with the majestic, terrifying imagery that the rest of the card works so well to cultivate.
Mechanically this card is great. We had colorless board wipes in the form of artifacts before: Nevinyrral's Disk, Oblivion Stone and their ilk. With the Eldrazi's arrival, a sorcery version is fitting. What I love here though is that it is not a simple 'destroy all creatures' wipe. The color restriction and sacrifice make it such a more interesting card. You can build around or combo with it, or just use it as a wrath in a color like green or blue that doesn't have many.
Personally I play it in a morph EDH deck. Face-down creatures are colorless of course.
NOTHING can save you from All is Dust*.
