As many people mentioned, it's pretty much strictly worse than both Diabolic Tutor and Concentrate. Neither of which were amazing cards to begin with.
Although it is perfectly reasonable for blue to not have any good card draw as long as Money Sculptor is in standard, I don't see the need to print utter trash like this to *** off people who buy packs.

Im puzzled that this is a Rare... Should be put into a Intro Pack!
Strictly worse combination of Concentrate and Diabolic Tutor. It's sad that you have to shown it because it's a blue card. Should blue be about trickung your enemy? Even some minor tweaks could make this card playable.
Like
Search your library for a card, exile it, then shuffle your library. Any opponent may have you put that card into your hand. If no player does shuffle it back into your library and you draw three cards.
Or
Search your library for a card, exile it face down, then shuffle your library. Any opponent may have you put that card into your hand. If no player does, you draw three cards.

It's hilarious because Jace's Ingenuity is uncommon and Foresee is common. Both are better options.

A fun combo with this is to have Jace's Erasure in play, and search your library for a card that isn't obviously game breaking for you, and that really puts pressure on your opponent as whether to let you have the card, or be milled 3, and you get 3. Just don't make it too obvious as to what you're doing with this, it's a subtle card.
When you realize the cerebral qualities of this card, you can see how sweet it is. Truly blue. 3.5
It's also worth noting that the text reads ANY OPPONENT(...)IF NO PLAYER DOES. All you need in a multiplayer game is one person to say "Sure, take it," and it's all yours. A good political card.

Library of Lat-Nam, only worse.
The only thing that would have saved this would be making it an instant.

Dude. URZA. That alone makes this pretty sweet, even though it's not particularly great as a card.

Exiling is automatically face-up unless otherwise noted. This card is so much fun until you realize it's a 4 mana sorcery. At instant speed or 1 mana less, this could have been a good card, at least in casual. Kinda funny how much difference that ONE mana makes.
