The first thing that crosses my mind when seeing this card is the song by the Scorpions, the second one a deck that punishes card drawing by running Underworld Dreams or Kederekt Parasite for example.

Mind Reflection should also do a nice job with that card.

Great for red players who've just exhausted all the burn spells in their hand and need more. For one red mana you can exchange your hand full o' lands for some new cards, which in your average burn deck will probably be half burn spells.

Obviously you get the shaft in the general case. You spent the mana, and you are down a card right before this resolves. You get the use of the new hand first, which very much fits red's short term gain plan.
That is not to say that this card is always bad. It also turns your opponent's hand of useful cards into a hand of 40% mana sources. With spiteful visions out card advantage goes out the window. There are too many cards for it to matter, and the fewer you have in hand, the less damage you take.

Whistling while casting is mandatory.

Hit or Miss in EDH
you could totaly screw over some of the other decks if you play this first turn before thier land drop. The problem is making sure somehow you get the better hand then them all.
