for how many  turns do they not draw cards? Does it apply for both players?

tbh this seems a little OP

Infinite number of turns.
Apply for both players.

You do realize that unless there is a Pulverizer or a creature with Butterfly Effect on it already in play when Crater is cast the game is unwinable for either side, right?
Same goes for Drought if players don't have some PC in hand.

Plus Drought I kinda understand. But what does a crater have to do with drawing?

[Flayne]

Imo, the initial cost should be lowered and this should absorb per turn, and it should be a heavy upkeep as the effect is very strong.
Also it should just be a normal permanent (no anti-deflag or such) as you can easily PA this.
(yes we're sick of hearing about PA, but it really is cheap enough atm to not demand for another immaterial permanent)
The problem I have with this card is that it contradicts its own element, to not be able to draw cards for is like wrecking its essence within the games logic, assuming this applies for both players,
 basically your hourglass and sundials are useless, precog becomes only for hand sight but no card draw.
That is 3 cards of its own element that contradict this function. Its a double edged sword to its own element,
despite it having ridiculous synergy with Eternity, except ironically you need Eternity in your hand first if you want to utilize this synergy, otherwise you can't draw it.

It's the wrong element imo, while I understand that the passage of time is stopped thematically, mechanically it does not fit in .
 If anything, mechanically it physically disables the deck/hand which is an essential component of the game/portal for the cards (through the elemental)
 this should be in Aether (Refer to "Silence" ) because both thematically and mechanically, it is appropriate.

Thematically it is fairly subjective so while I do expect differing opinions, mechanically it just doesn't work with ,
  being its polar opposite should have this card.

I dun understand unwinnable, usually there will be creatures on the battlefield,
so every turn, the creatures will attack opponent hp until someone wins.

My english isn't at its best,
my meaning of crater is dried out land long after the drought.

So the totally dried out crater causes players not to even be able to play cards,
Even if they pour water to the crater land like drawing cards, there is no point,
the land is dead just like how the players' hands are dead.

But what about if no one has played any creatures yet, or they all get killed or otherwise disabled? It's an unlikely situation, but it's still possible. Then no one can win, or do anything except quit, which is an unwanted situation.

Its a strategic card and you are supposed to use Drought when you are on the winning side
with more creatures than your opponent.

But you make a point that creatures can still be killed or disabled.

Im thinking of that Drought lasts for 10 turns which is the typical
number of rounds per elements game.

I understand your cost will make perfect sense,
but you will see me posting cards with ridiculous quanta like the usual 15 quanta costs,
this is because im trying to introduce high quanta costs cards to buff up mono quanta decks
even though whether it does helps mono quanta is disputed.

Crater is not anti-deflag, it just stops players from playing all cards,
so player cant cast deflag or play any cards,
so yeah, Crater is still a normal permanent,
just with overpowered effects.

Drought is more like a finisher, stand-alone,
if comboed with anything else, it might be over powered than goku over powered cards.

Lets just say Drought is players cant draw cards at the start of their turn,
so you as a time player keep using hourglasses, it will be horrifying to your opponent, LOL

Your mechanical part where Drought seems to be more of Aether is true.
But i am probably not swapping as im more interested in making "disasters" series,
putting Drought into Aether and i will not know how to name it as an "disaster"

[UndeadSpider1990]

The card mechanic seems nice and I like that it's in , but the names Drought and Crater aren't very timey. I would think of more abstract names, like, um... I have no idea. Grand Silence

[iDaire]

Pseudo-Silence/Inevitable Silence for 10 turns unless I have PC in my hand.
If my field is empty and there's no creatures in my hand, this guarantees a loss if the opponent deals more damage than I do.
I don't like it.

[ratcharmer]

Yeah . . . unfortunately this would not be fun to play with or against.

Having to sit through ten turns when the outcome is clearly already decided wouldn't be enjoyable at all. This card completely removes any element of counterplay from the game.
