Mmm... not really.

This is cast only during your end phase, so you can only make use of the opening you just made starting next turn.

The problem is, since your center is open and you only have 5 life left, this impact leaves you vulnerable for one whole turn.

The life requirement being 5 also makes this a late-game card. Which means, the Ancient World player would have built up a lot of resources behind his Sieger wall (which includes life, gained by Dragon Dreams, Vragos, etc.). Even if you survived the turn after you cast the impact, you would still be in a very tight spot.
