Possibly an upgrade over Sentinel’s Eyes, which sees play in Bogles-style decks, especially in Pauper.
I’ve been playing Magic off and on since the mid-'90s, though some of the “off” periods have been pretty long.
I used to help run Pauper events on MTGO, before Pauper became an officially sanctioned format.

Seized from Slumber is already seeing play in some Up the Beanstalk decks, and this card is better in two ways.
I’m surprised and pleased to see that there will actually be at least one way to reduce an opponent’s speed. They don’t usually do that with this type of mechanic.
Also… this is pretty clearly a Mario Kart reference, right?
I think it’s just a reminder, so you don’t get halfway through announcing the spell and then realize that your opponent has Leyline of Sanctity or something and you can’t actually cast it.
Not a direct analogue for Ephara’s Dispersal but sort of competing in the same space. I have a deck where I’m sideboarding Dispersal against aggro and it’s kind of medium; might give this an audition.
If this were a creature it would be better than Gravedigger in four different ways. It’s not a creature, but it’s got a very low Crew cost and it helps find its own pilot…
It would be neat if we lived in a world without Sunfall so a creative wrath effect like this had some room to breathe.
I definitely understand feeling like the spoiler posts are too much, I wasn’t always subscribed myself, but like… this is what you signed up for, if you do subscribe to /c/spoilers.
Interesting to note that it doesn’t care who owns the cards in exile.
I wonder if you could justify maindecking Rest in Peace with this guy.
A neat idea, but expensive and doesn’t synergize with some of the most-played mounts or vehicles, like Fortune or Subterranean Schooner.
