Well, not an unfair review...

And for a set like this, I'll take a review like this if it avoids
the issue of "AEG/WotC are forcing me to spend X dollars to stay
competative". This set was ALWAYS about flavor and story and "cool" -
the actual mechanics on these cards were fairly secondary. The goal
was that they would be FUN, not POWERFUL.
