heres how i was told it works: if your opponent casts a spell you may pay 2UU and play MBT to exile the spell from the stack.
if your opponent casts a spell then puts another spell on the stack (by casting it) it will be the same as above
but lets say your opponent casts a blood braid elf which then cascades into another spell (which goes on the stack) then you cast mana leak to counter blood braid elf but your opponent casts cancel on your mana leak this lets you cast MBT for 0 which can then exile the blood braid elf, the cascaded spell, and the cancel which removes them from the stack and causes your mana leak to fizzle
but the short answer is that its basically a mass counterspell that can get rid of uncounterable spells such as Last Word (btw it only works on cards that are on the stack)

it works best against cascade, storm, and counter wars, etc.

Wouldn't it say something like "exile target spells cast this turn" if that was the case? I'm not saying you're wrong, but the card text seems way too general.
I'm thinking of it like a higher grade Memoricide

the thing to remember is that the only time a "card" is a "spell" is when its on the stack. if its on the battlefield it is a "permanent". if its in the a graveyard, a library, or a hand it is a "card"
correct me if im wrong about this

No, reading it over again, your explanation makes more sense. It really is like a mass counter spell.

If your opponent casts three or more spells you can pay 0. These could be creature spells, instants, enchantments etc.
You can exile any number of spells, so for instance, if your opponent is using a control deck, you could name stuff like Cancel , Deprive , Mana Leak etc and those spells would be exiled from the game from the player's library, hand or graveyard.
Someone jump in if that's wrong, but it's how I understand it from reading the card.
