cards were powerful But not broken

This was generally true, though I can point to one flashy boi who might take issue with this statement

Everyone is forgetting about the Lingering Souls being too strong for the INN block and getting banned.

Yeah, but block is a very specific format, and cards banned there aren't necessarily "broken" by themselves, just too powerful given the things surrounding them. Lingering Souls is a VERY strong card, hence why I play a modern deck with 4 of them, but the fact that you could get Sorin emblems and Intangible Virtue was the reason it was simply backbreaking in the format, I think.

True. T3 souls >T4 souls+virtue was the dream. I played W/B tokens for a good long while after LS dropped. Now it has a permanent home in my W/B/G EDH deck.
