This is a card that's been in my cube since the beginning, and while it hasn't been bad, it's fairly bland. How good is this, and at what size is it runnable?
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

I cannot imagine how large a cube would have to be before I ran this, for the reasons eidolon said. Probably a couple thousand cards at least. There is so much better and broader white removal out there including all the Pacifism variants, etc.

I used to run it when I started cubing back in 2005 (also Radiant's Judgement). At that point my cube was pretty dragon-ish and even so it wasn't very good. It might be better in multiplayer as you are more likely to see big creatures and want to remove them at instant speed. It might also be good in a specifically designed dragon cube. Otherwise it can go.

I don't run or Radiant's Judgement in my pauper cube (although to be fair, there aren't that many 4+ power guys in the format, at least anywhere near the amount as there are in regular cube.)
Big Game Hunter is the best of this type that I can think of, but it still unfortunately misses the mark from the relatively narrow scope.

This is what I was going to say. I don't like the effect, but if I had to run one, I'd use the Judgment.

I think 1 for 1 removal is worse in mutliplayer than duels - too many threats!
