Instant4 generic manaBlue mana

Group-hug design rarely commits this hard to the bit. The first half is a symmetrical refill: you and a chosen opponent each draw three, a deliberate gift that buys goodwill at the multiplayer table by feeding only one person rather than the whole pod. The second half is where the card stops being charitable and starts being a tool: untapping all your nonland permanents alongside a chosen opponent's turns a pure political offering into an untap engine. The reason it reads as harmless is the same reason it can be abused: the opponent-choosing clause lets you point both halves at whoever serves your plan, and if your board converts untapped permanents into mana or attacks, the "offering" is mostly to yourself. The friction is the five mana and the fact that you are still handing a rival three cards, so casting it only makes sense once the untap already has somewhere to go. It is Johnny-bait of the pseudo-symmetrical sort, the kind of effect that looks fair on the page and warps completely depending on the board: Seedborn Muse and its untap kin do the same structural work as a static engine, while this compresses the cantrip and the untap into a single instant-speed window you can hold up at the end of an opponent's turn.
