Rationale

Orcish Bowmasters was added to the list of Game Changers for the Commander format due to its ability to punish additional card draw. It was included alongside Notion Thief and Narset, Parter of Veils, as a group of effects that limit card advantage. The panel stated that such card-punishing effects were deemed particularly powerful and potentially dangerous, noting that these cards could combo with draw abilities to facilitate strong game outcomes.
