The main reason this card was made, along with most of the other cards in TiV, is to get players to buy this set and future sets for tournaments unless they wish to be at the mercy of support cards that can only be destroyed by certain types of cards. In this case, cards with Day/Night abilities. That ability wasn't broken until this set came along.
It should be fine to play the game with a deck that doesn't use Day/Night cards. Thanks to this set, and especially this card, that changes, especially for a Hastur Deck against an Agency deck.
And yes, the Terror in Venice designers clearly wanted to move Day/Night effects into a more central position in the metagame. Day/NIght has been greatly marginalized by the fact that the Dreamlands cycle packs have been harder to obtain for more recent players.
