Same as the other. Please go look at the other site if you're willing people!

I think a simpler wording could be this:
If a nonlegendary permanent would go to a player's hand, library, graveyard, or exile zone, choose one at random:
- Instead it goes to that player's hand.
- Instead it goes to that player's library, then they shuffle their library.
- Instead it goes to that player's graveyard.
- Instead it goes to that player's exile zone.

I think the indestructible and can't be sacrificed clauses make this awkward. Indestructible is a white or green thing and can't be sacrificed is a white green thing. Blue doesn't get these things for a reason. The randomization effect also feels more red.
With everything the way it is this card should cost more like 
in my opinion.

Love it and nice job keeping Commanders from being affected.

MagicalHacker, not a bad idea! Onion_duck, thanks a million!
vomdur, I've considered adding red (because random and indestructible would be more reasonable), and then maybe I could just remove sacrifice...

I would remove the can't be sacrificed clause and the indestructible one.
There are 2 blue cards with indestructible Thassa, God of the Sea and Myojin of Seeing Winds both legendary creatures part of a cycle. If you were making a legendary enchantment cycle I could see this getting indestructible.
If it's just the random effect 
is reasonable but with the other stuff you're looking at at least 6 cmc and 3 colours to keep it fair.
Also no not going to create a profile on another site just to critique a card that is already right here.

vomdur I'm not (really) asking you to critique it on the other site. I'm asking you to check it out over there so you can see how the site works, maybe look at a couple other cards I've made, and, perhaps, make an account so you can start adding to the site as well! Just want MTGCardsmith to get a little more recognition s'all.
