The key is to have bigger & better creatures or artifacts than your opponents, eg. Deep-Sea Kraken, Kederekt Leviathan, Darksteel Colossus or whatever. Of course, if Braids dies before I put out my critters it's basically game over. Using a Vedalkin Orrery to play it with flash didn't really work for me - if anything it'd be better to play Braids earlier (with High Tide, say) when they wouldn't expect it.

Braids is so cute when she's not brutally slaughtering innocent people <3
I have a bit of a paper crush on blue Braids. I'm a little ashamed.

This card is an essential card to have out in an Eternal Dominion deck. It still allows you to play the majority of your permanents without actually playing them. Plus, this card paired with a Paradox Haze or two is just awesome anyways.
I give it a 4.5

"Just imagine dropping Emrakul, the Aeons Torn with Braids here; and then using your free turn to drop one of the other titans. And all perfectly legal in Vintage."
-PhyrexianLobbiest
Did you know you can cast Eldrazi? Emrakul, the Aeons Torn requites it to be cast for the extra turn trigger.

Braids is a wonderful EDH general if you're willing to make the deck revolve completely around her. And that almost requires you to play blue as though it were green. Although dropping a Mindslaver without worrying about it getting countered is pretty nifty.

Young Braids suffers like all the other cards which "share the love" with your opponents (Howling Mine, Eladamri's Vineyard, Kami of the Crescent Moon etc.) from the fact that you are the last player who gets rewarded. And being a creature increases the risk that she is gone and you get nothing when your next turn begins. That said, she guarantees great moments in multiplayer if she somehow sticks around.
You could try to play her at instant speed with Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, Winding Canyons or Vedalken Orrery.

She sure does clean up nice. Ain't got nothin' on Jhoira of the Ghitu, though.

The art, compare to the black version, she looks far more approachable and... cute :)

Lad, I'm right there with ya' :P
Anywho, I wanna make her my general. I'd follow her anywhere. Even to the jaws of defeat :D
Oh, it turns out she's actually a fairly good general, given proper support.
And she's still quite cute. No need to be ashamed Laguz :)
