At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player may draw an additional card. If they do, spells they cast cost 2 more to cast this turn. In her time as a student, she’d clean the dust off the shelves of the grand library of Tolaria. Now, she writes the works that fill it.
2/3
Howling Mine card draw looks a lot more expensive nowadays.
The English translation is clearly missing "this turn" on the tax. And,since a huge amount of blue should be playing on your opponent's turn this is basically downside only for your opponent. Not being legendary is really nice, allowing blue mages to have more then one of these on the battlefield is dangerous. As a blue player, I approve.

Symmetrical feels meh and having your opponent get first crack at the extra card feels even worse. Hard pass for me in Standard, Pioneer and Modern.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with this post instead:

Too many opponents with pretty much no hand/with only lands in hand/in the late game with many lands on the battlefield/also playing the instants game will gladly draw that extra card.

For sure there's a risk to this card, and maybe the risk is too high but I'm willing to give it a try, at least on the board against stompy

And Stompy players will thank you for shoring up their lack of card draw, if they have one or two beaters on the board, they'll gladly draw that extra card and refill their hand while you're the one digging for an answer, and once you find it, they'll drop the cards you gave them at your own mana investment.
This is an extremely odd card. Seems like it would also be extremely good against sorcery speed decks. 2/3 body is pretty strong. Might be a tempo sleeper.
