It is that the fact of having the entire map explored is an important advantage. If you add to that that the treasures give you double the resources and it's retroactive...

Maybe that card needs to be adjusted regarding the retroactivity of the treasures and that it gives you maybe 50% more.

It kinda sucks in 1v1 but can be pretty good in team, something I’ve always wanted to see was team cards scale down in 3v3 and 4v4 cause many of them end up being too good.

The retroactivity is dumb. Reveal all black area is dumb and broken in team. Reveal treasures+double treasure reward could be a good card without being broken.

The reveal part is just not that good, nor "broken". In team you have approx 50-70 percent(depending on the civs, what treasures you get etc) of the map scouted by that point. Seeing the rest of the map is barely relevant, what is relevant is seeing the enemy shit, but japan has a wonder which can do that like every 3 minutes and yet its literally never used in team unless someone is imperial.
