Ugh. People at my store keep saying that you get to keep playing spells from the top of your deck until you reveal a non-instant/sorcery card. It's really bothering me. They just keep saying that because it doesn't say "reveal a top card of your library", that you can keep casting spells. Even though I tell them "at the beginning of your upkeep" triggers only once, they don't believe me. Haha. I even give them examples like Masticore. If it was the same, then Masticore would force you to discard your whole hand.
I'm just ranting now. Sorry guys.

You still have to meet the conditions for Coalition Victory, otherwise it does nothing.

Some of you guys are so stupid!
It says "you may look at the top card of your library. If it's an instant or sorcery card, you may cast it..."
It doesn't say "draw a card" or anything about putting cards in the graveyard.
Its says YOU MAY look and YOU MAY cast it.
You don't have to look at your next card if you don't want to or don't need to. If you already know that your next card is NOT an instant or sorcery you DON'T HAVE to look at it. You also do not draw the next card with Galvanoth during your Upkeep unless it is an instant or sorcery and you wish to put it directly into play.
You DON'T have to look at the top card of your library, nor must you play an instant or sorcery if it is one. It says you MAY look and you MAY play an instant or sorcery but you don't HAVE to.
And if your friends think You get to draw cards until you get an instant or sorcery then you have some seriously stupid... (see all)

Too bad it's effect is not more similar to Oracle of Mul Dayas.
1. Oracle has a direct Advantage! And not next turn like Galvanoth.
2. Oracle combines cardadvatage (playing top card) with tempoadvantage(playing one more land). Galavnoth does more or less both only halfway.
Beside this nitpicking it's a rather casual and fun-oriented card but not as horribly bad as the other Intro Pack Rares.

I want so badly to be able to build a USABLE deck using this + Wild Evocation + Knowledge Pool. It would be MIND BENDING!
We are talking (essentially) two FREE casts a turn. With Knowledge Pool on the field, unless you opponent is thinking several steps ahead, the confusion will allow you to start dumping for free or cheap their cards out of the Knowledge Pool onto your side of the field. I'm not saying this is a viable or reliable strategy but think of the fun!

@hedronMatrix:
Nope! If you find an instant or sorcery, you play it without paying its mana cost, THEN draw normally. :3 It's fun on a bug-bun.

Or for a Standard approach, combo with Liliana Vess' first ability.
