Just thought of how much I would love something like this card existing.

Search your library for an instant or sorcery card and exile it, then shuffle your library. An opponent may have you put it into your hand. If no player does, draw a card.
Basically a tutor that only works for getting crucial answers to game-winning plays and is useless for assembling combos. It's too bad distant memories is such a piece of garbage. It's basically just worse than both diabolic tutor and concentrate since it doesn't discount either mode. And being a sorcery means you can't use it to get a crucial answer to a sudden threat.
While I absolutely hate tutors in EDH, this one seems good. Though this type of card would never be printed because in any format other than EDH it would just draw a card.

Well obviously it'd have to be printed in a commander set. I guess theoretically they could make it "another player" instead of "an opponent" and stick it into battlebond 2, but they'd probably need to up the cost a bit. I also wonder if it would be busted if it was, say, UU, instant-tutor only, and you got to draw 2 cards, so it could still be ok in 1v1.

No, opponent works better for the type of political card this is.
