Redone to not be so ridiculous. Feedback is again welcome. Thanks to those that pointed out what an obvious failure the last one was. Overambitious the first time, and I can now see why that was not the way to go.

I intentionally kept it as "Look" originally because I had the Scry 3 after checking the library. But here, yes, it does make sense for it to be reveal.

Just in case the link doesn't work...
Anyways, it's pretty awesome. I would make it scry 1 or scry 2, because otherwise you have too good a chance of matching. But great idea!
And what did the Esper say?

Thanks FAMOUSWATERMELON. I appreciate the image, and the feedback. The more I look at it, I do agree it should probably be Scry 2. 1 doesn't feel impactful enough, but 3 feels slightly OP. Thanks.

So...you went from a confusing card into a hilariously OP control commander. This invalidates every Esper control general before it, and conveniently drops a turn AFTER Counterbalance-plus, it's almost a better Sensei's Divining Top. Bottom line is, it's too damn cheap and it's too easy to lock a boardstate with this. It needs to be at least 5 for this effect OR have the trigger occur once per turn and give it a mana cost. Please.

The "Then look at the top card of your library. If it shares a card type with that spell, draw a card." Would have to be "Reveal the top card of your library", but otherwise it's pretty cool. I know that kind of goes against the flavor text but anytime you have an effect like that, it has to be revealed so the opponent knows you aren't cheating.

3rd Attempt. Keep the feedback coming.

Give it a bit of power at least. Otherwise, it's just a useless blocker. I would say either 2/2, 5CMC and the ability, or 4CMC, 0/3 and the ability.

I disagree with the above. The ability is already very pushed, and you aren't winning with commander damage anyway.

It should be reveal. So.
"Whenever an opponent casts a spell, scry 3, then reveal the top card of your deck. If it shares a card type with that spell, you may draw a card".
Pure value commander, so a bit eh.
