If you honestly think that it doesn't deserve it, then either you don't understand where blue's power level was in relation to the other colors or you just enjoy the game having a spoiled child (which means you don't appreciate the importance of a balanced color wheel).
This seems interesting, since it refers in a large way to the removal of counterspell in the base set, and we have had similar discussions recently about the dominance (perhaps over dominance) of blue, in relation to our version of counterspell.
