I think people don't understand what broken really is. There is a difference between broken, and insanely good.
Mewtwo Ex is BROKEN. Why is this the case? A broken card gets splashed into every deck, and if you don't have it, you lose. There are rare cases where a card is broken, but isn't bannable. Holon Transceiver was one card that comes to mind.
You have an issue when you have people going out of their way to put it in their deck. There is a reason why they rotated early last year. There is a reason WoTC banned Sneasel and Slowking (yes, I know the translation was wrong). When a card becomes too powerful, you have an issue.
Rayquaza Ex isn't broken. You can't play a card that has a RL attack in a deck that isn't going to use that energy. It's not going into every deck, where Mewtwo is. With the exception of Durant, I'm not sure if one deck that won a States didn't contain Mewtwo, that's an issue.
