Not really broken. Fine for the first run of Magic. But by now, yes, it is giving too much.

Black... Lotus... Isn't that great... You guys just think it's great because it's the most expensive card made!
...
When would you want a Black Lotus in the middle of a game...? Never... It's only useful for a great start. Such as playing a Ball Lightning... Or maybe 4 Lightning Bolts with one additional land...
But Time Walk! Time Walk is great whenever!
Think about it.
Time Walk, yo ucan use it at turn two for getting one more land to play and draw an additional card, or you could use it late game to attack with your fiercefull beasts. Of course, then we're talking about Blue-Green decks...
However, a deck with 40 storm crows and 2 islands would beat a deck with 60 black lotuses.
Don't get too confussled* about the price.

There' a bgs10 Beta on ebay currently for $40k. Or, slightly more than a 2013 Mercedes GLK.

5/5 obviously, now that we've gotten that out of the way. I see a lot of people comment on these kinds of cards with "what were they thinking printing this?" or "It's totally broken any way you look at it, surely they would have seen that when making the card." The answer lies in the very simple fact that the game was new. The main reason why this card and the Moxes are so good is because we are comparing it to all other 14,000+ cards in Magic. Back when the game first started it wasn't as much of a big deal of having 3 mana on turn 1 simply because the options of cards to play were so limited.

Still not as valuable as the love of a good woman.
