Target player searches their library for a card with converted mana cost X or less, shuffles their library, and puts that card on top.
I wanted to capture the feel of "Oh, yay, that was good luck" so I made something you could play in response to a spell or during someone's upkeep.
You could also do an offensive version designed to mess up opponent's draws, but I decided that would need to be a different card and have a different name.
Instant speed tutoring is normally broken so I slapped a large-ish cost on it and part of the point is that you don't put the card in your hand. It's likely to be broken or useless, especially in eternal formats, I don't know. I like that it may be useful in multiplayer, where SOMEONE may have the right spell to deal with something, even if it takes two player's mana investent to get it played.
