Of course, Im certainly no pro, and I generally dont play the Modern format that this set is largely designed around, so I cant speak to the exact power level of the individual cards here without inevitably making a fool of myself
It also only has four cards in total when the most valuable Secret Lair always (so far) have had five or more
Pratte points out that many 1st Edition cards have condition issues straight out of the packs
It shows how little the designers understood the game they had created that this card - which lets you draw three cards for one mana - was assumed to be roughly as powerful as Giant Growth, Lightning Bolt, Dark Ritual, or (of all things) Healing Salve
