You'd do your opponent a great favour in most cases, though. Unless you're playing this card in a milling deck, maybe.
I prefer discarding two cards for having 9 cards in hand when reaching my end step rather than only having two cards in total...

They could have slightly changed the wording to "Draw a card for up to each island you control" to circumvent that problem, though.

A card that requires only one blue mana yet gets a greater effect for each island is also in some way antithetic, i would have prefered a cost of 3BlueBlue instead, yet this could have overshadowed Tiding.
But it's still a very useful card in a simply structered, mono-colored deck.

I love that no matter how they word it, all blue card draw spells that are even remotely playable pays no more than one per card.

So this is stronger, but less variable than Mind Spring.

Blue version of Corrupt. Main difference in my opiniopn is, corrupt is often game ender. Or saves your censored. With this, you'll have to wait one turn at best.
Unless you have, like, nine lands or something, so you can play at least one or two of the spells you have just drawn. Still not bad imo.

Also, how do you draw too many cards ?

3.5*

To be frank, I think this card is underrated. Unless you're playing against a discard, Megrim or milling deck, this card is really awesome to topdeck in the late game when you need the cards.

How is it a problem to draw so much that your hand overflows? The cards that get discarded won't do you any good, maybe, but then, they weren't doing you any good in your library, either. And you get to choose which ones to discard, so it'll be whichever ones aren't as useful to you at the moment (more lands if you already have plenty, or situational cards for which this isn't the situation, or maybe even cards that like to be in the graveyard).

Just realized that the art is an extreme close up on a merfolks face. Now I can't unsee it. ಠ_ಠ

An interesting idea, certainly. The sheer number of cards you can draw is nice for refilling your hand, but Mana could be better spent elsewhere, in my opinion.

It's a good card maybe over flowing your hand but if you splash it, it won't overflow so much.
