The second-card-drawn archetype began in Throne of Eldraine in UR. It then reappeared in M21 in GU. The Brotherhood of Gix gladly welcome its third coming, now in UB, with this signpost uncommon.
So this shows up at sorcery speed and with summoning sickness, pumps itself to 3/3 for show, then wanes back to 3/3 without having used its temporary boost in combat.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a static ability, so isn't just for the first turn it comes down. Pretty easy to draw an extra card each turn in blue/black.
It's good for sure, especially in this meta with unearth. It technically has evasion when it has menace.
No, it says "as long as", so this ends when the turn ends. If I'm mistaken, then you not just straight-up print menace on the card? It would always have menace (unless you somehow flash it in during someone else's turn, which seems like a such narrow possibility to not give it straight-up menace.)
I suspect that all three of you understand exactly what this does and are just confused by each other's choices of phrasing.
It does uselessly buff itself the turn you play it.
The ability is a static ability and not limited to the first turn.
It does lose the buff at the end of the turn.

A judge will surely pipe-in with the true answer
Yes, it ends at the end of turn, but I believe their point was that all you have to do to get the boost back on subsequent turns is draw an extra card again. It's not a one and done boost.
