Unbalanced and NPE are different.
Imagine a dinner party, with 20 guests. They can all choose what they want to eat from the buffet. They each have different tastes, but they are all catered for, so no one goes hungry. That's balanced.
If one of the guest eats too much, so others go hungry, that's OP.
Now imagine one of the guests chucks all the food out the window. That's NPE.
Assuming the best dinner parties have a variety of guests, who all get enough to eat (i.e. balanced), there is a trade-off between inviting everyone for variety versus keeping certain guests (who are OP or cause NPE) off the premises.
It's a hard choice to make, but since this is the first full set of cards, and we can add more variety in future, we have attempted to eliminate all abusive cards from set1, thereby leaving a great set of balanced cards and lots of enjoyable variety.
