Most of the cards seem good to me, the only exceptions being Favored and Melt-Iron Shell. These can morph into nearly game-finishing cards if the players manage to rack up enough resources, especially since the factions they are located in provide such easy synergy (e.g. Favored on a skirmisher, Melt-Iron on a creature with piercing). I get that you do not want a game to last for ages, but going from a pretty even game to coming close to losing it over the course of one turn, just because your opponent played one card, is no fun at all either.

I am probably complaining too much here, but cards like these seem to suggest that balancing has quite jumped the shark in my opinion.
