Since when do players pay X mana to draw cards not just for themselves but also for the opponent? Since when do players pay three mana to draw a card for themselves and the opponent!?

@SavageBrain: In draw-pain decks. This card looks as if it could be insanely effective combined with Underworld Dreams and Megrim-based decks. Could also be played with Words Of War to do silly amounts of damage.
It's players like you (that's not an insult, it's gratitude) that make draw-pain decks so effective - no one in their right mind would want to stop their opponent putting the spells they want into their hand, it's just stupid right? Well, yes, until you're taking 10+ damage per turn (no joke) for the privilege. This card may well sneak its way into my draw-pain deck...

This card simply needs to be comboed with to be playable. EXCEPT in, say, star, two-headed giant, or any other multiplayer format. Now is its playablilty clear?

Combos:
Underworld Dreams - Opponent takes 1 damage per draw Megrim - Opponents takes 2 damage per discard Storm Seeker - Opponent takes 1 damage per card in hand Sudden Impact - same as Storm Seeker Multani, Maro-Sorcerer - creature who's power and toughness = number of cards in all players hands Black Vise - deals damage to an opponent at the begining of their upkeep for each card over 4 in their hand ...and the list could go on for pages
Overall not a bad card, it just requires you to think a bit...which is hard for some people.

I prefer mind spring, which is one sided. for those of you mentioning combos, prosperity is good as mentioned by ratoly

The forecast isnt bad, but howling mine and variants outclass it. Prosperity 5-8 can't hurt though. Think Hive Mind in big multiplayer for an epic draw out!

Generate infinite mana, then force everyone to draw their decks ^^

Frankly, I like Prosperity more, but remember EDH, folks. This card has pulled me out of mana screw where Prosperity would have just been suck.

Bad card outside of combo potential, but there are generally better options for that too.
Quite frankly as a first choice option, at the exact same mana cost Mind Spring gives you potentially massive card advantage (whereas Skyscribing almost always gives card disadvantage).

Huh. I just noticed that the art is a bunch of Hussars flying through the air.
Apparently it's the Ravnican equivalent of a bi-plane trailing an advertisement behind it.
