The concept of rarity is great - it's supply and demand; and in a trading game there should be value in rarity (they should designate them as vintage, classic, etc). The concept of said rarity being totally misaligned with stats, skills and sometimes even artwork....is not so great. Mistress and Duke are simply mediocre cards (Duke slightly less so). I do believe this helps equalize the playing field...but on the other hand, it was the market itself that let rarity become SO out of kilter with card performance. If a card is rare but there's little demand for it because of mediocre stats...then the elite wouldn't be able to charge 4k for it.
