out her in a Knight's deck and use her last ability after you put 2 Exemplars on the field and you can just keep bombing your opponents creatures when they put something half decent on the field.

Just pulled a foil one of these as my second planeswalker, and this think is awesome. Being able to clear the board a turn after she comes in, and still be alive? I don't think it's possible to top that. Plus, the -2 +2 always works to get you a ton of life, just by spamming the board with tokens.

I was playing a Scars of Mirrodin draft with my friends. I was building a black/blue deck, and then I opened this up on my last booster.
I took it immediately.
On a more serious note though, I'm really digging the 2nd ability, so much utility! It can be used as chump blockers to defend Elspeth or if you have enough creature buffs (which is very common in soldiers/white), they're potential threats your opponents just can't ignore.
The most charming aspect about her ultimate is how EASY you can get there, it's just nuts, I love it!
PS : Oh, and not that anyone cares, but she is my very first planeswalker :D (I'm a magic veteran but has stopped for a while, haven't got that much mythics...let alone planeswalkers)

Considering you can use her ultimate at turn 6.

My good friend gave me one of these for free. I have now have 2 of them, and she'll be my favorite Planeswalker forever, both in card and character.
To be honest, I've never really used her -2. Running a token deck, I usually feel like I have enough creatures by the time she comes out, generally about 6-8, and her bomb only takes 2 turns to get out WHILE still keeping her around. I just use her +2 to brace for the "Oh shit, I need to do something big" attack that's coming from the opponent, and when they fail to deliver, -5.
And that's usually game. I just don't have time to ever use her -2, oh well. Still handy to have, I suppose. Just in case.

Picked up a foil one, i waste money what can I say?!
Going right into my EDH token deck along with the original incarnation of her...could've gotten a foil one for $30, i saw it ballooned to $50-$60!

@holloweencandies Planewalkers are powerful and game changing, but they're also easy to get rid of. Pretty much every blue counter spell can keep it from hitting the field. Burn spells from red can shoot down Elspeth. White has O Ring, and even green has an out with beast within. Black probably has the hardest time with planeswalker hunting, but can still hunt one out of the hand, and with blue, can counter/surgical extraction any planeswalker.
And of course, you can always attack the planeswalker, though evasion is really important against someone like Eslpeth. As a rule, planeswalkers are as fragile as they are powerful.
