Balance is overrated because what really matters is that when a particular category comes up, you have the higher card than your opponent in that category. So balance makes a card seem good in total rating, but is actually a negative when it comes to any particular matchup that happens early in a game.
If you balance your deck properly, it's better to stack cards that are high in specific categories than it is to simply pick all-around cards. Cards that are high in specific areas (either one or two categories) are better early in the matchup, while all-arounders are useful later in the matchup.
