It makes you draw too may cards. It should be "Target player..." so you can overflow an opponent's hand!

I just wish it didn't cost ALL the manas.

How the heck can you draw too many cards? Unless your facing a mill deck, I would rather draw 20 cards and have to discard down to 7 then sit one or 2 cards. Seriously, and plus, thats why they made Spellbook.
For mono blue this thing is a powerhouse. Maybe you could splash other colors with stuff like manalith and whatnot, but you need as many islands as possible for this to be worth it, otherwise just run tidings.

I played this card in a 6 player EDH match with my Niv-Mizzet - deck. I proceeded to cast Increasing Vengeance, let that resolve and flashbacked it on top of the stack. With 10 Islands out, that was a 40card draw... Of course the only reason anyone let that happen was that I didn't have Niv out... :) But hey, funny.

@Whales
So they were totally cool with letting a combo--king general draw 40 cards? Let alone any deck drawing 40 cards... Seems kind of silly to me.. If anyone could stop that, they should.
This card is okay, it's just too costly for what it does. Control your opponent with your mono blue deck, and then when late game rolls around, tap out (unless you wait THAT long...) to draw a crapload of cards. You're better off playing a finisher. Maybe if this was instant...
