Goes great with Jace Beleren and anything else that causes all players to draw cards. Hmm, this is looking like the start of a mill deck.

This card is very good. I give it my maximum rating: 8=====>

Oh, this ROCKS. No one is gonna slow down their spells for this, unless you have that Phyrexian that makes opponents lose 1 life when they draw a card.

I initially threw this in a deck to offset the lost draw from an Island Sanctuary. The first multiplayer game I was involved in I had 30 cards in hand for most of the game (with a Library of Leng). I was blown away. I actually wound up throwing in a Words of Worship just so when I inevitably wanted to skip a draw it wouldn't go to waste.
How is this card a common? HOW?
@Ideatog: I have never seen this card used by someone who isn't packing at least a few cancels, counterspells, and so on.
Now if you opponent decides to Krosan Grip it, then you have permission to T_T

I always wondered whether it was to be read "You may (draw a card unless that player pays 
)," or "(You may draw a card) unless that player pays ."
A subtle distinction, but it's cleared up in the errata.

Question here: Let's say I have this on the field and the opponent plays a spell, and I want to count with a Mana Leak or something. Could I still counter after this ability takes place, or do I counter beforehand?

@GlassJoetheChamp
Yes, you would counter after this ability goes on the stack. This ability is triggered when they cast the spell, not when it resolves. So the stack would look like this;
Their spell -> Rhystic Study's ability -> Mana Leak
They would first choose whether or not to pay 1 for this, then you would counter it.

The best part that really makes this one of the best enchantments in the game is that it is a may ability.
If, let's say, you are nearly out of cards in your deck, just decide that you shouldn't draw a card.
