Chaos or too confusing?

I had to word it so it wouldn't make an infinite loop, but is it too confusing? If someone used a Wheel of Fortune, how would that go down?

They should be replacement effects, guess I forgot "instead".
That sounds hilarious.

Alright, if that is the case then it should go like this:
Each player draws cards equal to the total number of cards in each other player's hand.
Each player discards cards equal to the number of other players in the game times 7.
This would end up similarly to the previous scenario, but less confusing. Wheel of Fortune aside, this is a cool idea for a card. The name is a bit unwieldy and you've got the minor syntax errors mentioned, but otherwise I'd enjoy playing this guy. I'd love him as my commander.

The name I got from one of the Magic books, and I didn't have anything to base the card off of to word it properly.

"If another spell or ability would cause a player to draw a card, each of that player's opponents discards a card instead.
If another spell or ability would cause a player to discard a card, each of that player's opponents draws a card instead."
I don't know if that's technically correct, but it seems like it would fix the current confusing design.

i would like to point out Nekusar, the Mindrazer+Elder Mastery with this would make an autowin.

M a g i c a l H a c k e r - that definitely makes more sense, thanks.
DERPLINGSUPREME - it's just the art I had

DERPLINGSUPREME- Maybe I'm missing something, but could you explain how that autowins?

P1 draws normally and has to discard 2 b/c he took damage
he discarded so everyone draws.
everone draws so everyone has to discard from the damage
everyone discarded so everone draws X4
everyone drew, so everyone discards from the damage and from the extra card
eveyone discarded so everyone draws X4
repeat until dead from neku's damage

Ah, now I see. That's insane, but it's certainly not the first combo of that caliber in Magic history. There's always the Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Curiosity combo, which has a similar flavor to it at less than half the cost.

I have to ask first, did you intend his abilities to be replacement effects? As they are right now, the drawing/discarding he causes would happen in addition to the effect that triggered it.
As he is, a Wheel of Fortune would go down like this:
Each player discards their hand and draws cards equal to the total amount of cards each other player had in their hand.
Each player would draw seven cards and discard cards equal to the number of other players times 7
This would likely end with everyone having an empty hand and a considerably smaller library.
