Have thought reflection and jace's archivist out. Try to make sure you have the fewest creatures to not draw yourself out. Cast Opalescence to make thought reflection into a creature. Tap Archivist to put ability on the stack and then cast mirror gallery on your thought reflection creature. Everyone draws 7 times 2 to the N cards where N is the number of creatures they control when Archivist ability pops off the stack.

They only draw 7 cards as a base if someone had 7 cards in hand. The archivist goes by the largest hand size in the game to determine how many cards are drawn.

For the sake of argument and easier math, 5 card largest hand and 5 creatures:
5 cards drawn as a base.
First creature doubles to 10.
Second to 20.
Third to 40.
Fourth creature ends it for any 60 card deck with an 80 card draw.
Fifth creature, even a commander format deck is done, with 160 cards.

In a longer game, its over for everyone who has 3 creatures or more when this goes off, potentially forcing a draw, thanks to everyone hitting their empty library during the same effect.

Yeah sorry for some reason my edit to the text didn't go through... I had changed the 7 to X where X is the largest number of cards in hand at the time of activation.
