Booby Trap
Artifact
As Booby Trap enters the battlefield, name a card other than a basic land card and choose an opponent.
The chosen player reveals each card he or she draws.
When the chosen player draws the named card, sacrifice Booby Trap. If you do, Booby Trap deals 10 damage to that player.

I like the suggestion of Lantern of Insight . Maybe you could play it in a stock Modern Lantern Control shell? The deck has Artifact tutors and recursion along with good disruption. You can then use Booby Trap as your finisher.

Lantern of Insight to know what cards your opponents will be drawing with Booby Trap . Alongside the Lantern you can slot in more cards that synergize with "Lantern Control" builds.
Treasure Mage and Trinket Mage to find these important artifacts.
While you're in blue, you could play additional artifact synergies and Academy Ruins to re-lay your traps!

I would look at using cards like Praetor's Grasp and Extract so that A) you can get a good look at your opponent's library to help you pick cards and; B) this will help cut down the number of options of cards your oppoent has to draw, making it more likely that they will hit the card named with Booby Trap .

So I assume we're talking 60 card kitchen table?
How about a basic shell with Zur's Weirding and Words of War ? You can easily put Booby Trap into this build.

You seem to have posted this in the forum for Standard, yet Booby Trap is not a Standard-legal card. Which format did are you building in?

Ah, Curses!

A good curse that I think you should have included in that deck would be Curse of Fool's Wisdom, cause it would pretty much ensure you can easily win the game with that one card, Add to that some cards that make you opponent draw cards and their finished like Booby Trap or Fatal Lore more likely.

Yeah I'm not feeling Booby Trap. It just doesn't do enough to help the deck. I like the flavor, though.
Summoning Trap could be good, but I feel it's too situational. I do have some blue in my pod, but I don't find my creatures getting countered often when I play this deck.
