Yea, I really don't think that's OP at all.
I mean, this game doesn't let you "place" cards. And, if I remember correctly, it starts out by placing cards "away" from each other, does it not? Like this?
XXOXOXOXX
(O= creature, X=open)
On top of it, it is rare to have creatures on the top and bottom row. This card can be powerful, but this is a kind of card that requires well-thought strategies and skills to pull them off.
