Oh how funny this would be in a casual deck where you throw this on a Prototype Portal...

Why settle for anything less than Tunnel Vision ...? Your opponent may as well suicide for having been beaten by these cards.

This seems easier though

Turn One: Great Furnace into Goblin Welder

Turn Two: Vault of Whispers into Entomb for Boobytrap into Mishra's Bauble into sac an artifact land to bring back Boobytrap (10 damage)

Turn Three: Sac another artifact land to bring it back again (20 damage)

The chosen player reveals each card he or she draws

Name a card that isn't even in your opponent's deck to make them reveal every card to you for the rest of the game.

Choose Visara the Dreadful for serious booby-ness.

... or don't and be a classy person for once, you sexual deviant!

You will be able to see if they have a counter or a combat trick because they reveal all draws. That itself isn't worth 6 mana, but it's a bonus.

Even if your opponent doesn't draw the card you named, it still allows you complete and total knowledge of everything your opponent draws.

Someone mentioned this which is a great idea!

Turn One: Sol Ring
Turn Two: Etherium Sculptor
Turn Three: Mishra, Artificer Prodigy
Turn Four: Spy Network, Booby Trap, deal twenty damage on their draw!

But that's actually turn 5 to get booby trap out because sol ring produces 2 colorless and Mishra, artificer prodigy requires one colorless. In order to get Mishra out turn three you need "geothermal crevice." sacrifice the land to add both black and green to your mana pool.

So, my analysis this would work on turn 5, but... "crystal Vein" might be a better alternative to "sol ring" so you don't mana burn on playing Mishra and yet you still get to produce two colorless mana from "crystal vein" plus its a land so if you got a "roo***er mystic" (1 blue for a 1/1 merfolk which you can pay 2 to look at the top card of target players library) you basically get the same effect as "spy network" and get it out early.
Also the land cards like "saprazzan skerry" are great because they don't come into play tapped and they can produce two of any one mana in, unfortunately, two given turns which should be enough.

I also mention "crystal vein" as a cheap alternative to "sol ring" but seeing as they can both be used.
I'm sorry I don't know how to do the links for the individual cards.

I occasionally run this in a deck with Extract and Donate. Extract lets me see what they've got and pull out a problem card, and Donate is usually in there for other reasons. Once in a while, though, I like to extract any artifact destroyers or sac outlets and then donate the Booby Trap to my enemy, naming their win-con that I opted not to extract.

Sometimes it backfires, but it's still hilarious to see their face when they realize I figured out their deck as I sifted through it, intentionally let them keep their best card, and then handed them their own noose.
