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.

Mana Severance
Enchantment
When Mana Severance enters, secretly choose a card name.
When an opponent casts a spell with the chosen name, you may reveal the chosen name and sacrifice Mana Severance. If you do, counter that spell and Mana Severance deals damage to that player equal to half their starting life total.
Based off Booby Trap, but a little more paranoia-inducing. This would probably be in a Commander precon.
Create a card for a legendary creature that only has one card so far.

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.
