They were so careful with the limitations they put on Protective Incantation ("Group limit 2 copies of Protective Incantation in play.") and The Chthonian Stone/The Chthonian Stone (being unique) and then they print THIS?! I can even replenish this with Uncage the Soul!
With changes like these you can really see they want the game to go in a different direction.
EDIT - explanation: I indeed think this card is too powerful, especially with interactions like Akachi Onyele and Uncage the Soul, and that is also what the direction the game moves into is: Power creep, as what happends to every expandable card game at some point. With cards like this I just think it's becoming more and more obvious.
I don't understand point you're trying to make here. I can't see what you mean in your last sentence. Is this card too powerful? If so why? And what's the direction you are taking abkut

I agree this is undeniably better seal tech than the previously printed alternatives, but those cards are terrible. There’s a wide range between “stronger than Chthonian Stone” and “too strong,” and I’m not convinced this card winds up on the wrong end of that spectrum.

I don't really think this is particularly strong power creep, if you can even call it that. Cthonian stone is unique yes, but can potentially last much longer, especially if you're stacking multiple seal cards like you're implying you want to. If you put two of these down you're guaranteed to lose at least one of them pretty soon.

This is perfect if you are looking to abuse Henry. But then you might want to check your goals in game. This card is still costing 3 and not actually giving any progress.
