Love this card, always seemed like a really well balanced planeswalker to me if not a bit on the high powered side.

    I remember facing her down a lot in Standard for sure! Always hurt to have her drop and wipe out a creature, leaving me to figure out how to deal with her before she starts accruing value/incremental damage

    I'm interested in seeing how she fares in today's Standard. Certainly there are plenty of Izzet decks that could play her, but the question is will they want to?

    Yeah very good question, my gut says that the UR decks just don’t want her sadly. She doesn’t seem to help the prowess or lessons game plan but maybe out of the sideboard.

    If the Jeskai control decks lean into red more with that new artifact I could definitely see her in that deck. That may even get me to play standard again!
