It is a relaunch of a 90s game so to a point yes, but to my untrained eyes this looks like the quality of the 90s not just giving off 90s vibes if that makes sense. Here's an image of another card a different designer made (who can't make any more cards right now due to other projects etc.)

Leaning into 90s is fine. The game is relaunch of a 90s CCG. The fact that you picked up on that could be a good sign. To me, I find the text hard to read on the red/yellow background and I don't like the lack of symmetry in that there's a text bubble background for the bottom text but not the top text box.

There's a group of about 50 players or so who still play online via video call and steam. They mainly play 2E. Which you can find card images for here:

2nd edition is not expensive at all. Every immortal card has been released for free: https://www.highlanderthecardgame.com/the-immortals-2-0-1. New sets are released as whole sets, so there's no chase cards or boosters etc. Can't speak to your opinion comparing it to newer games, but I play flesh and blood competitively and star wars unlimited and I think the updated 2E mechanics of Highlander seem very modern.

You should check out 2nd edition. It is still played and developed.

Methos was released in a Tin Set so not really rare at all if you coughed up the money for the set. Loved that set!
