Winter, Misanthropic Guide
Symmetrical draw effects are old ground: Howling Mine, Font of Mythos, the whole family of cards that hand every player extra cards on the theory that you will use yours better. What this design does is bolt a punishment onto the sharing so the symmetry stops being a gift. The continuous upkeep draw refills both sides, but once delirium switches on, the cards you handed your opponents become a liability they cannot store: the more card types you assemble in your graveyard, the tighter their maximum hand size clamps down, and the extra draws you gave them start washing over the edge each turn. That is the real engine here: not the card advantage, which is shared, but the asymmetry the graveyard condition layers on top of it. The catch is that this offers no built-in discard, so getting to four card types falls to whatever fetches, cracked lands, spent spells, and dying creatures you can assemble elsewhere, and the payoff sits a turn or two behind the body. Ward is what protects that runway. This is a build-around whose engine is inert until delirium comes online, and clean removal in that window shuts the whole thing off; the ward tax falls squarely on that vulnerable stretch. The result is a giveaway reframed as a slow vise: you keep the extra cards flowing to everyone, then quietly shrink the container your opponents are pouring them into.
