To everyone who thinks her ultimate is not so good, try Wrath of God, Armageddon and Purify. Or a card that does all three at the same timewhen you triggered her ultimate before that. Not to mention if you have a Darksteel Colossus in play (or some other indestructible stuff). Good times. Try using Worldslayer effectively, it will annoy the heck out of your friends ;)
They will probably just give up all the same if you manage to successfully pull a stunt like that ...*grin*...
5 stars and no less (like with Nissa Revane)...

Cheers people ! :D

Elspeth, in all honesty, is not that great. most of the lorwyn planeswalkers could defeat her (not liliana or jace). Once you use her last ability, it helps a lot, but strategy wise, most creatures arent destroyed by kill cards, and her last ability doesnt help with enchantments, meaning, your creatures can still be enchanted. Her second ability can help a lot, but her first one isnt that great. I honestly dont think that elspeth does that much good for you, if your going to try to destroy a player, u dont use kill cards to wipe out their forces, costs too much mana, and damaging cards still work on creatures. Elspeth could be better, a lot better.

Elspeth of course works great with empyrial archangel, but has some weaknesses, against a quick burn deck it's essentially a dead draw. It takes a while to activate it but you don't need to activate it's ultimate ability more than once. Like all planeswalkers it isn't as good upon second glance but it is extremely powerful in most situations and devastating in the right one.

Can ANYONE help me out with understanding The Planeswalker? I mean, I just am not 100% sure on how to deal with one when one comes out against me. For example: Can I target one with a spell or an ability? I understand they are not creatures, so creature removale spells won't bork, but how about a Boomerang? Can I return a Planeswalker to it owner's hand. Can I use a spell that says "Destroy Target Permanent?" I've been reading the rules on them...but they never fully answer all the possibilities. Can someone please help a girl out???

IF you manage to use her indestructibility ability (I know you monsters love to exile and counter her), and add in martial coup after all of your Field Marshals, Captain Of The Watch's, Armorsmiths, etc. are indestructible' you have a pretty large standing army.

Oh, and maybe throw in some Oracle's Attendants, Kjeldoran Royal Guards, Frontline strategists, and Righteousness to keep yourself alive. This is all assuming you're not playing standard.

This card is just awesome. A 1/1 for +1 and give a creature +3/+3 and flying and they all your stuff is indetrucable? You build up a small army, beef them up and away they go. Not onyl that, but with a typilca White deck, your 1/1s will be more than just that when they entre play.

Elspeth is by far my favorite planeswalker ever. I use her in my Naya 'Walker deck, along with Sarkhan, Garruk, and Ajani Vengeant, and let me tell you, I've had some immense fun with her (and the deck in general). Just imagine a dropping a Woolly Thoctar on turn 2 with the help of a Birds of Paradise, getting a turn 3 Elspeth and giving the Thoctar +3/+3 and flying. Shockingly enough, I've actually pulled off her final at FNM a couple times. Then i just pop out another Elspeth afterwards!

@Zero001349

Indestructible means it cannot be destroyed. It prevents lethal damage, board removal, and spot removal. It does not prevent exile, dying due to zero toughness, the "legend rule," the planewalker uniqueness rule, sacrifice, or being countered.
