I don't understand the criticism. Maybe some of you haven't played enough vintage to understand the power of drawing 7 cards.
Yes, your opponent gets 7 cards as well. So what! If you're playing blue control (which is where this card belongs), you're going to draw fresh countermagic, new draw spells, bounce cards, etc. Using a majority of your control spells and then having the opportunity to draw and use all of those spells again (for just 5 mana!) is a ridiculous effect with powerful possibilities.
I welcome the chance to own a playset of this card. Mythic rare indeed.

A power 9 card for a fair mana cost, what more can you ask for?

Fine with Zombie Infestation, probably.
Better if you have some way to lock your opponent out or force him to pitch his hand before he can untap with a fresh grip of seven, though.
If you just want to draw a bunch of cards, you're probably better off with Jace's Ingenuity or Blue Sun's Zenith.

I've heard so many people complaining about this card giving their opponents cards, and to them I have to say: you just don't get it.

I wish this could reverse time to before it was printed.

Screw every single person here complaining that this is useless in standard. Just screw you all. Go play another format if you don't see the importance of this card. Right now. Shut up and go.
