Sideboard against Jace, the Mind Sculptor.
Or, if you prefer combo, maindeck with Chandra Ablaze.

Opponent: Island, go
You: Mountain, go
Opponent: At the end of your turn I cast Brainstorm
You: *smile*

Hmm, there are tons of misconceptions with this card it seems. Honestly, this card severely encourages card draw by the person casting it, because most spells mean that all players draw cards. I can't believe that no one has mentioned the massive advantage you gain playing artifacts and enchantments that cause all players to draw in conjunction with this card.
If you're rating this card anything lower than 4, you shouldn't be reviewing it.

I have a question. How soon can i activate this card? Can i tell my opponent that I am activating it at the end of their draw step or is that an illegal move?

truely i do not think you people are giving this card enough credit. i have made a deck that is centered around this card, that consists of: dragon fodder x4, bloodhall ooze x4, kederekt parasite x4, veinfire borderpost x4, howling mine x4, font of mythos x4, underworld dreans x4, megrim x4, burning inquiry x4, and runeflare trap x4. about 50% of the time, give or take 5%, i would get a double runeflare trap on turn 5 for at least 8 life each, after kederekt parasite and underworld dreans have done there jobs, pared with font or mine.

I didn't really realize how power full this card was until last friday.
He was playing a typical Red deck Bolts, Bursts. Ball lightnings, Hells thunders and the like. And Chandra Ablaze
Except he was playing Howling mines, Font of mythos, Pyro ascension, and Burning inquiry. I thought interesting a red deck that doesn't run out of fuel. He had 2 Fonts out, and an active ascension, he passed after playing the second leaving RR untapped. I was playing boros, I drew bushwacker, Lynx, Vanguard, Vangaurd, Geopede, and a mesa (making up my hand), I had the mana to play them all and swing for the win, at the end of draw step he X2 runeflare trap, turning it into a total of 20 damage due to ascension. Nuts even w/o the ascension. He went 4-0 that night. Yes he would get his flare off on turn 2 aswell, for sometimes 6, while wrecking their hand using inquiry. They don't have to be playing draw as long as you are. :D

Swans of Bryn Argoll + Runeflare Trap = Fun against aggro!

I usually use this with skyscribing or prosperity , but first putting a spellbook or reliquary tower.
i've once made my opponents draw 16 cards with my blue-red deck with the help of Soulbright Flamekin.. killing one opponent, and let niv-mizzet take care of the other..

A great card in certain decks. If you're playing Howling Mine or Font of Mythos, it's a perfect fit. Throw in some land destruction, Black Vises and Underworld Dreams for good measure.

Once, I got colorscrewed during an EDH game. The blue player at the table played a bunch of card draw spells, ending up with about 27 cards in his hand. I had this in my hand, but no red mana to cast it wih. I died a bit inside.
