So a buddy of mine picked up a Break Point booster pack today. Normally he lets me keep any cards that are crap, since I mainly just like collecting the ones that look nice.

So, upon opening the pack, we got a really interesting drop. It's a Slowbro, and what's interesting is one move in particular: Walk-Off Homer

The move requires three basic energies, and it's ability is: If you use this attack when you have only 1 Prize card left, you win this game.

I've been seeing cards of all types over the years, and I've never seen a move or card that just lets you win a game. Does this seem a bit broken or unfair to any of you?
 
It might seem like a "broken" or "unfair" attack at first, but honestly, if you only have one Prize left to take, you can take it by just Knocking Out one more Pokémon (and chances are, you can if you've taken nearly all your Prizes already). I don't see a reason to include a Stage 1 just for a win condition that can easily be met with any competent attack.

Besides, Slowbro can't take your last two Prizes off an opponent's EX, now, can it?
 
It's not really too broken, considering that 1. It's an evolved Pokémon, which have fallen out of favor in the recent metagame 2. Due to how common Pokémon EX are, you're likely to win the game on two prize cards anyway and 3. It requires three energy, which is rather impractical. Really, Mewtwo-EX was much more broken.
