@ Why is this white? Its the bluest flavor I have ever seen.
I disagree. Blue isn't about drawing cards, it's about having the right cards at the right moment. Drawing is just the easiest but never was the best way. A blue player wants control and search abilities ARE the best way to control what you draw/have. Card draw on the other hand is random. So instead of a "draw 3 cards" spell, I would rather have a "Srcy 6, draw 1" spell.
@ "this is why Blue was/is/will always be a problem. It's the color of 'being smart' ... In games, everyone should have the chance to be smart"
I agree, but would call it: "Every color should be able to focus on card advantage." instead.
White card advantage: Draw spells & powerful anti-destruction
Blue card advantage: Search spells & Library reodering => less time for the right spell
Black card advantage: Discard spells, draw denial, gain control effects & Reanimation
Red card advantage: Mass destruction, Madnes... (see all)

Why this card is white? Name and effect are totally blue!! It doesn't have any reason to be white!
It would be an interesting blue card. Instead is a senseless white card.
0.5/5

Proliferate, as if it wasn't already mind-numbingly obvious.
And yeah... nooo idea why this is white. I could see it as a blue-white multicolor card, but white really never directly draws cards. Weird.

Pretty good card. Goes nice with Memory Jar because you can skip 3 of the Jar's draws and thus lose less from it at the end of the turn. Sometimes it's a bit slow to go, though, so I give it 4/5.

Oh the memories, I got this at the Stronghold prerelease and was thrilled. Used to run this in my fun decks back in the day with Brainstorm, Sylvan Library, and Gerrard's Wisdom.
4/5.

As a draw spell, in the best-case scenarios, this usually amounts to something along the lines of {3}{W} "draw 4 cards." Which is, you know, not bad. The real key here is the fact that it lets you skip as many draws as you want. I use it with giant Prosperity-like cards to win.

Clearly a blue card. Needs a shifted reprint.

Crazy powerful card in the right deck (Sylvan library). Also, if I'm not mistaken, you could cast Truce/Temporary Truce, skip the draws, gain the life, AND get the study counters. Neat.
