Yeah, there is a reason UCS has the U on it: a high number of +2 cards, +2 actions is usually enough to draw your deck and do whatever else you want.
I think the +1 card for opponent on buy is more of a "here, have another card so you may have a chance of not losing this split badly enough that you lose the game with it." With most power cards, they are a rich-get-richer-(and/or)-poor-get-poorer card. The low cost relative to quality and the gaining penalty assists in not letting the lost city split get out of control one way or the other.
