Elspeth is my favorite planeswalker character (in the story at least) and this card has a great sinergy with each of her abilities, I love it :) too bad this mythic card stuff is a market failure... the 3 planeswalkers in this set are so expensive already

This is almost as bad. if not worse than the original.
Did i say bad? I meant broken.

Not as good as her Alara version, but still pretty sweet. I pulled her in my Sealed pool, and didn't lose a game I drew her. I think I ended the one with 50-odd life, and a giant army of tokens, after wiping the board several times over. Good times!
Like some of the other commenters here, I was initially unimpressed. And I still wish her +2 had an immediate effect on the board. But she's better balanced than EK-E, and still packs a wallop.
Sironos: Not a fan of Garruk, are we? Considering Day of Judgment costs 4, I think it's ok.

5/5. I love this card soooo much. I have had 6 people drop from the game as soon as I use her best.

I hate how well Elspeth works with... well, uh... Elspeth. I want both in play at once, and that's just not working. Maybe there's some kind of strat with grabbing the Emblem for all her counters, killing her, playing Tirel version, and getting a pretty sweet wrath, but this seems horribly slow and insanely easy to stop. Ah well.
Also: I'm loving some Elspeth, but somewhat confused how exactly she's fitting into Scars. Does anything actually have synergy with her? I guess some kind of Myrsmith/Myr Battlesphere deck? Just seems odd in a set with only a dozen cards that make tokens, and half that many soldiers (and none of both). Maybe should be making Myr, or Myr Soldier tokens? That would make a lot more sense given what cards seem to work with her. Perhaps a minor complaint, but the synergy change is huge, and flavor certainly should matter in Magic.

* As Elspeth Tirel's last ability resolves, each permanent that isn't a token, a land, or Elspeth Tirel herself is destroyed.

I managed to pull this card out of the second scars pack I opened, having pulled Venser out of the first. This set is awesome!

Edit: After playing with and against this card, i've realized that with her on the field, and no removal for her in sight, the game usually goes one way. You blow her up, then slowely gain life and swing with tokens. The game drags on forever, and nothing interesting happens. Powerful, but boring.

I have a feeling she will find a friend in hero of bladehold once besieged is released.
