I am inclined to agree. Whilst some combos and tricks are turbo powerful they aren't always reliable, particularly when you still have to flip the right card in the first place.
I remember playing a game of WHFB, my wood elves against my bezzie oppo's Orcs and Goblins. I took a terror causing mask on a mounted hero and at the start of turn 2 made over half his army run off the battlefield in panic. (from an elf with a face mask!) There was next to no way to counteract it either. Just roll the dice and hope.
Cheesy and not fun.
