Draw a card if an opponent has cast a black or blue spell this turn. Spells you control can not be countered this turn. You and permanents you control gain hexproof from blue and from black until end of turn
11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature. - Maximillian Cohen.
I guess you could Autumn's Veil now as 5-8 for your Veil of Summer when it comes to fighting blue and black cards. Also, holy moly they brought back color hate! Its like a christmas morning.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

For a second there I missed that the hexproof was only for blue and black. I thought modern infect was getting a toy. (You could cast this *before* turning inkmoth nexus into a creature...)
This effect is really good. It is a straight 1 mana instant 2:1 or better for the following popular cards in standard:
Cast Down
Despark
Thought Erasure
Tyrant's Scorn
The Elderspell
Oath of Kaya
Duress
Entrancing Melody
Mass Manipulation
Negate
Dovin's Veto
Assassin's Torphy
Disdainful Strike
Vraska's Contempt
Spell Pierce
Angrath's Rampage
Bedevil
Enter the God Eternals
It also does really reasonable things against the minus ability of big Teferi, 4 mana Vraska, Bolas Dragon God (not so good against his +1 though), and isn't terrible against 3 mana tef, cantriping in response to him being played and shutting off his bounce for a turn to let you pressure him.
It hardcore wrecks priest of forgotten gods activation, it blanks hostage taker and frilled mystic despite not straight 2:1ing them.
It's very narrowly written text, but it calls exactly what most of the standard format is doing right now.
I think this card is really solid against discard decks.
