Love the art. Really embodies the Izzet, doing stupid stuff in the name of learning, even if it makes their heads go "blehwaufga."

1 You play it, during your turn, letting you draw 3 that turn and taking 3, unless you had to cast it at instant speed, its probably worse than Divination.
2 You play it, during their turn, letting you draw 2 and taking 2, it only does damage to the player that draws the cards from the effect, it may be less effect mana wise over Sign in Blood, but it has the instant on it's side, you can use it at the end of their turn, if you didn't counter something.
3 You play it, during your turn, on them, doing 2 damage, and letting them draw 2 cards. This is probably the least effective way to do it, being almost always worse than Sign in Blood (yes it is a different color). Cards>Life.
4 You play it, during their turn, on them, doing 3 damage, and letting them draw 2 cards, probably from the end step, once again Cards>Life, and it only does 3 damage.
This card is only good because of its flexibility, I dunno if I would use it in... (see all)

Why does everyone seem to be talking about dealing the damage to your opponent? I would cast this on myself first.

At first glance, the card is terrible. But you have to make your deck around it. I envision it in a Grixis deck that has cards like: Spiteful Visions, Forced Fruition, Kederekt Parasite, and Phyrexian Tyranny.

You don't have to build around this card, it's basically a Sign in Blood at instant speed for 1 more CC. The downside is that using more than one a turn will result in you taking more damage, but the upside is you can burn your opponent for a lot of they drew a lot of cards.

There are better combos for you to use this on your enemy and there are better draw spells than to use this on yourself... what a strange and weak rare...

I can see some obscure use with this, but it just doesn't grab me.
I'll stick with Consult The Necrosages.
