Astonishing reversal play
instant
If you defeat the next game this turn, instead draw 7 cards and your total life will be 1 point.
Exile the startling reversal play.
So, if you would lose the game instead draw 7 cards and your life total becomes one and exile the spell?
Four mana is enough to make this feel a bit fringe to me, but of course "Draw 7" is pretty powerful gametext. I'm intrigued but foresee it being little more than an occasional commander oddity.

So does this trigger any time you would lose the game that turn, or just the first time? Because if it's the former, you can force a draw with this, as long as you're about to lose from anything other than having 0 life.
Combos with Ad nauseam. Cast this first, then cast ad nauseam. Pick up every card except the last 7 in your deck. Lose the game, go back to one, and draw 7 cards. Draw your whole deck for 9 mana, in mono black, at instant speed.
I love it.

Come watch me stream over at my twitch channel. I play Loam Pox, Ad Nauseam, and jank in modern on MTGO.
Just make sure you’re not losing to mill, otherwise this little card makes you sad.
Poison too. Also, Commander damage.
Hmm...Will Contract from Below be playable in multiplayer? Or will someone just say Zap and that's it?

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Toss in Paradox Haze so you get two upkeeps on the same turn.

11 mana to draw 7 at the cost of your life total minus 1? What a steal! /s
"Sometimes the difference between victory and defeat can be as thin as a razor's edge."
Something like that.
Thanks!
