Parley —

: Each player reveals the top card of their library. For each nonland card revealed this way, add

and you gain 1 life. Then each player draws a card. (Activate only as an instant.)

Except in some very rare cases, the card each player draws will be the card revealed from the top of their library.

Selvala’s ability is not a mana ability. Players can respond to it, and it can’t be activated in the middle of paying for a cost. A recent update to rule 605.1a has made any abilities that move cards to or from libraries no longer mana abilities.
