How Does Melek, Izzet Paragon Work?

I'm just confused as to how he properly works. Do both players reveal their top card and does his abilities then work for both players?

Questions like this go in MTG Q&A. The forums are more for deckbuilding.

To answer the question: No, his ability only affects whoever is controlling him (presumably the player who owns him, but not necessarily). Whoever controlls him plays with the top card of their library revealed and can cast instant and sorcery spells from their library, which melek then copies. The other player gets nothing from him.

Sorry about missing the tag and posting in the wrong place. I'm new to both magic and tappedout. But thank you either way for your help.
