Sorcery4 generic manaBlue manaBlue manaBlue mana

Seven cards for seven mana is a deliberately blunt number, and the bluntness is the point. Most blue draw spells of this size hedge their cost with conditionals or build a tax into the rate; this one just asks for triple-blue commitment and hands over a stack. That triple-pip cost is the only restriction holding it back: it locks the card into mono-blue or near-mono-blue manabases, the price for an effect that otherwise refuses to apologize for itself. The "target player" wording is the quiet wrinkle. A draw-seven that names any player is built so the controller can point it at an opponent, the same combo-enabling generosity that older cards like Prosperity and Howling Mine traded on, where forcing draws onto a foe becomes a weapon when their library is the resource you want to drain. Most of the time it points at its own caster, of course, refilling a hand from empty in one sorcery-speed motion late in a game where mana is no longer the constraint. As raw card advantage it lands closer to a controlled Sphinx's Revelation than to a tempo-conscious cantrip: this is the spell you cast when the question is no longer whether you survive but how many cards you need to bury the table. It does nothing for the board and nothing for the clock; it converts a glut of mana into options, and trusts that seven of them is enough.
