Looks pretty bad to me. Though with your rating it's probably playable.

I made a thread about it a long time ago - it was a joke. You can still probably win a couple games with it, but it really is a bad choice.

Just the fact that it made its way into the NCO probably means it's perfectly playable at this level. But at the top level, I'd hazard that no, it's probably not considered "sound."
