It has the same problem as Hullbreacher in that it doesn't distinguish based on who triggered the draws. If I have Bowmasters out and play a wheel, I get to divide 21 damage and make a 21/21. It doesn't promote fair magic, it just promotes a different style of degeneracy.
It also doesn't force me to punish the person who actually drew the cards, which opens up interesting lines, but again doesn't promote fair magic.
If Bowmasters said "Whenever a spell or ability an opponent controls causes them to draw a card," it would be much less prone to abuse.
Ahhhh these are good call outs. I wish they’d print more hate cards for all the crazy draws and free spells and cheap tutors, but I guess this isn’t it.
