What does BROKEN mean to you?

Extremely powerful and uber.
Broken is the state of the game that represents the gray area between fair play and cheating. If something is considered broken, it almost always has a negative connotation to it. Take a look at Mewtwo in RBY. It could learn Amnesia, making its special attack so high that it could OHKO anything in one hit. Because it is so powerful, it gives the user an unfair advantage. This is what it is to be considered "broken".
Depending on the severity of how broken something is, it can make the game less fun to play, or in the worst circumstances, completely unplayable whatsoever.

Broken as in, so good that it should be banned.

Broken in cards is card that played corrently is unstopable or almost, this based in that all the cards have potencial to be good
RE: What does BROKEN mean to you?
I see you are talking about Neo Genesis Slowking. Well, put it this way: due to one TINY mistake on the Pokemon Power Mind Games, the whole of Unlieted is near unplayable thanks to that card Teched with 4 Sneasels in a deck that uses 8 Energy...
Slowking wasn't a fair card. I can understand a synergy of cards or a situation like RBY Mewtwo being UBER but that was a MISTAKE. And actually in 2002, in the middle of the format at Christmas, in was banned from Modifieed use. Shame it is still in Unlimeted though...

There are no cards with errors as big as Slowking. WotC just printed it wrongly even though they knew it was a typo, they didnt errata it until after it was used too much.
Broken, to me, is something that is TOO good so it makes the game unfair. There are alot of cards with errors which have erratas, but they arent broken. They simply add or change a few words around. Just look at the Compendium for erratas on wordings, there's a stack of them.

The dark grimer from the original team rocket set says poison gas and then it says the defending pokemon is now asleep and it should be POISONED.

To me, broken means a few energies and lots of damage .
.take a look at frlg ratacate it cant be affected by conditions and it can take 3 cards from the discard pile and then its attack can do 50 and each one caust 1 energy to attack then it has free retriete i think this card is quite broken to me
RE: What does BROKEN mean to you?
I wouldn't consider Mewtwo OHKO any Ppoemon is broken because 1. IT IS THE ULTIMATE POKEMON. And 2. It is a VERY hard to catch LEGENDARY.
Just like a Lugia that used four Calm Minds and has 20 Recovers combined with Leftovers
Thanks Veyati..they've even asked me if they could read the card after the game(LBS players)!!!

It's first attack is broken, but I agree with you.
