Symmetrical card draw is one of the oldest design teases in blue: the effect refills both hands equally, so the question becomes who profits more from a level playing field. The answer for a card this plain is almost never "you." Strip away the riders and this is the bare-bones version of the shared-draw template, existing entirely to be broken by the player who can break the symmetry. Pair it with Notion Thief and the opponent's two cards land in your hand instead; pair it with Nekusar, the Mindrazer and every forced draw carries damage across the table; drop it into any wheel-adjacent shell that wants to dump and reload, and the "each player" clause stops being a fair split and becomes a lever. Without those payoffs it arms the opponent as readily as you, which is precisely why it never escaped the margins as a generically good cantrip. The design logic is honest about that tradeoff: the rate is cheap because the cost is paid in cards handed over to everyone else. What keeps it relevant is that the engines built to exploit shared draw keep getting stronger, and a two-mana instant that hands two cards to every player remains a cheap, color-light enabler those engines are happy to run.
