Shreds of Sanity gets back one instant and one sorcery from your graveyard to your hand at sorcery speed — for four mana — then discards a card. The discard-a-card rider means you're not simply going up on resources, and four mana is steep enough that you need the two targets to be worth at least that much or you're falling behind.

In Commander, Shreds of Sanity fits narrow spell-recursion strategies — Mizzix of the Izmagnus, Kess, Dissident Mage, or any deck that churns through instants and sorceries and wants redundancy on key pieces. In Modern and Legacy, four mana for two cards returned to hand is simply too slow when cheaper recursion exists; it sees essentially no competitive play in those formats. Pioneer sits in the same boat — the effect isn't wrong, the rate just isn't there. Oathbreaker can make better use of it when the planeswalker and signature spell axis rewards double-dipping on specific spells.
