things in this latest block (Mirrodin, Darksteel, and the still in development Fifth Dawn) seem extra powerful. it's an "artifact" expantion... over 1/2 the cards are artifact, and a lot of them are broken. isochron scepter, and it's darksteel counterpart Panoptic Mirror (
seen here) are among the most broken ones I've seen so far, along w/ the 2 cards mentioned in my first post... the game's still fun, though!
