This card is actually quite some fun.
In multiplayer games, it results in random chaos. But you ca also build a 1vs1 deck around it. To do so you need:
+ tons of tutors, card draw and mana acceleration, to get this card into play as soon as possible
+ nearly no way to win in this deck
+ cards which put creatures or permanents on top of their owners library. returning to hand is bad, because later on, once you play your opponents deck and he plays this one, he could use the bounce spells to return the creatures to his hand, and replay them. with "put on top of owners library" bounce spells, he cant replay them
+ ways to slow down the game, like some artifact lifegain
+ add Teferi's Puzzlebox. this way you draw this enchant quicker, and once the box and this enchant are in play, your opponent will have his hand shuffled away at once, and draw useless junk from your deck instead
+ add a lot of artifacts that generate colored mana (best they draw you cards when you use them, like chromatic sphere). early on you can use them to draw your enchant quicker, later on, you can use them to have the right mana to play your opponents card
+ add a lot of lands which produce all kinds of colored mana, so you can play your opponents cards quickly, and dont have to draw his lands first
+ having lots of card draw means that your deck will be rather tiny. once your deck is empty, you will not lose the game (if the enchant is in play), since players stopped drawing cards. instead, your opponent will simply draw no cards anymore, since none are left in your library
+ watch your opponents face once the deck works, when he is first happy about the card draw in your deck, and after a while notices, that there is only junk in this deck
+ note that two of these in play do not cancel each other out. instead, whenever you draw a card, you choose which enchant you want to use

You know what also combines awesomely with this card?

Pink sleeves

Fun times with this thing. One of the only cards that I actually don't mind being used against me just for the hilarity factor. Even better if you can get a Memnarch into play at the same time.

Wasn't there a tournament deck that had no way to win except for 4x of this card? I remember it had Vicious Hunger too. I think it also cut Bottle Gnomes to ensure that the opponent could never kill him with his own deck.

We need more game warping blue enchantments like this.

Pretty nice with Enduring Ideal, because you draw from your opponent's library, but you still search your own with the Ideal. Your opponent stops drawing from his own library and just draws enchantments that probably don't help him, so he's pretty much locked down.

I run a deck around this, it's all draw and budget tutors, I also used to have the unspeakable in there for kicks. I'll never remember when I had shared fate and the wizened snitches out, and my opponents library dawned phage, while mine had the unspeakable.

after that I took the unspeakable out.

Leveler. That's all.

If I am given to understand the card art correctly, it turns your opponent into an old woman.

Strange flavor.

@ Azazyel
Funny interpretation, but they're two planeswalkers who are linked telepathically and swapping brains. They each are using the other's spells.

Combo with Wheel and Deal for sure, though you'll want to have it in your hand first. So many possibilities.

Run with stupid color requirements. Nobody will be able to play your cards but perhaps you can stil play theirs. (It would kind of make you a jerk though).

I remember way back when Mirrodin was in standard, I was playing a white equipment deck, and the other guy was playing a deck that was based around this card.

My deck was so horrible that he had trouble killing me with it. It was awesome.

Be forewarned that playtesting a Shared Fate deck online is very frustrating. Be prepared for everything from misinterpretations of the card to whining about the enchantment itself to the lengthy games that can result..

Fill the deck with some Bronze Bombshells to further kick your opponent in the face.

Urza makes an unexpected return to the land of the living to combine heads with some Viridian elf lady. Thats about as convoluted as gameplay in multiplayer gets after this hits table.

love this card, built a deck with it once, had 4 drastic revelations, 4 breakthrough, cycle through the deck till you get shared fate, then breakthrough and drastic revelation can grab you a good 11 cards off your opponents deck.

breakthrough is converted to U exile 4 cards,

drastic revelation is converted to draw 7 cards

"Each player draws cards from an opponent's deck instead of his or her own."

Of course, it's modified so that players don't actually put opponent's cards in their own hands, but it's almost effectively the same thing.

This card won a Standard state's tournament a few years ago. I do not remember the name of the deck or the state, however, the deck was filled with a bunch of Shared Fate, cards to keep you alive, and absolutely no win condition. It was funny to see the build.

milling deck with shard fate and leveler

Ooookkkk.... nobody has mentioned the obvious?

=> Leveler ;)

Lots of possibilities here with this card.

4/5

Tainted Pact. That is all.

Mana Severance to really annoy non-blue opponents.

Playing this with Leveler is bound to be hilarious, but it's just as likely to lose you the game as it is to win it. If your opponent casts it, they get a 10/10 and continue to take cards out of your (albeit useless) library, while you get no more cards for the rest of the game.

Pair it up with an enter the infinite and watch your opponent deck themselves while casting their library

haha.
imagine two people playing useless shared fate decks against each other!
