Uri's point is not that Ferret "sucks," as you and my 13-year-old would put it,
but that since it is unreleased there is no way to judge demand or strength.
Based on tournament results, we can guess at its level of play, and I would
guess it's very strong, maybe approaching Ruffian.  (or maybe it is Ruffian!)
