My Enemy's Enemy and Parthenon have both U rarity in the upcoming set.

Parthenon was a V3 (read: uncommon) in AH. I wouldn't classify this as
a rarity change, but YMMV.
Hmmm, I thought it was R, oh well mea culpa :)

And if it weren't, it should be. I guess other players feel differently
about it but in practice, I don't see where it's worth using unless
you're going to use multiple of them - perhaps 5 or 6 in a deck. If
it were a rare, that's kind of tough. Especially given that it's a
pretty popular card.

5-6 copies of a unique location? That strikes me as pretty nuts.
Not at all if you have like 60+ masters (check the Anson Anarch Revolt
decks before AR rule change) in your deck. And you can cycle the
extras out via Anthelios/Brother's Grim etc..

It is a bit nuts. On the other hand, an extra master phase action
is huge, at least in my book. But to me it makes no sense to go
half-assed about it. Your deck should either keep itself to as
many master cards as you can play with a single MPA each turn and
not bother with The Parenthenon or use The Parenthenon and include
enough master cards to make good use of it. And if you do the latter,
then you damn well better draw The Parenthenon soon, which in my
experience usually calls for at least 5 of them (in a 72 card or less
deck) or 6 (in a larger deck). Otherwise, you take too much risk of
getting MONDO hand jammed. And if you only include a few more master
cards and a couple of Parthenons or something, you're screaming to
get screwed both ways: some games you'll draw both Parenthenons
and barely use the one you play, other games you'll get a mittful
of masters and no Parenthenons in sight.
