Yea I agree. I played this in Dimir Control and now I just moved it to the sideboard. I think it will still be good against the control mirror, like Narset, at punishing card draw but what is crazy to me is that it seems like card draw is just gone from the format now. Most cards let you look at the top X and put them in your hand to avoid the insane card draw punishment they've been printing lately.
As much as I like drawing extra cards, I don't like it when formats get to a point where you have to draw extra cards to compete. There needs to be space for decks that just draw one efficient creature every turn or so and attack with it. So I approve of there being some amount of draw hate. On the other hand, if you're doing contortions to "put cards into your hand" instead of "drawing" them because of all the hate, that's probably too much.
