Broken

"When something is broken, it needs to be fixed." ~RabidCentipede

Broken refers to any card or strategy that is considered too powerful for the current format. Usually, these cards are abundant every time a new booster set is released, and either get errata'd soon after creation or limited by the subsequent ban list.

It is difficult to determine exactly what is "broken" because the term itself is subjective, and its definition can change with each passing format. It is also a fact that some people call a card or strategy "broken" when their own deck continues to lose to it, when it's really not broken in actuality. However, it is currently accepted that all the cards that are forbidden and many of the cards that are illegal, Limited, or semi-Limited are considered broken to some degree.

The following cards in HCCG are not broken at all:
 * Broken Ice Machine
 * Broken Window
