Ancient example of an unbalanced meta. Maybe we are missing some of the patch notes for balance changes
Maybe the concept of desiring balance is modern. Maybe they wanted to encode asymmetry in the game to mirror nature, or the Master / Slave dynamic which they likely considered to be a natural law.
Every casino game is asymmetric. I believe the casinos are trying to encode the Charlatan/Chump dynamic.
The Netrunner card game is very asymmetric and very modern. I guess you could say it's balanced but nothing asymmetric can be perfectly balanced.
Or they just switched sides and played again, which is less silly.
