At least she didn't get Deathtouch.

I think she will be great for casual. Maybe not so much for tournament, since she has to stick around on the board to keep using her ability, and her cmc of 7. I could definitely see myself running her in a black blue deck where I just want to keep board control. Other than that.. I can just imagine her against a tournament deck and it's like.. I play sheoldred, and make you sac.. 1 squadron hawk.. and then jace just bounces her.
Also, I think in the planeswalkers guide it says that sheoldred isn't actually the bottom part.. she's has like a snakey tail thing that is locked into the bottom half, of which she is riding. Pretty sure anyways. It was on the "about the praetors" article. I guess she has swamp walk because she can use those spidery legs to jump across bogs. Mind you I think swamp walk is a perfectly good ability, makes her great against vampires.

Does this horrific lower torso make my butt look big?

Am I the only one who thinks that mythic rares like this should not exist? I'm okay with power creep, though I suppose I'm quite wistful about the old mirrodin and ravnica, but I find that cards like this are so ridiculously, stupidly cheap. It's a lack of originality on the part of the card designers, people who I'd normally praise as being wonderful, fantastci and creative people. I am disappointed. Better doesn't have to be 'Okay, let's get as many powerful abilities as we can into a creature and call it Mythic in the hopes that people won't object.'

I really love Sheoldred, but couldn't Wizard's have given her a better passive? I know there's debate as to whether or not she's OP already but look at it this way:
Elesh: Vigilance, wildly useful in all sorts of combat scenarios and fits White perfectly.
Vorinclex: Trample, never a better ability for a big 'ole Green beater.
Jin-Gitaxis: Flash, I've always though of Flash as more Red, but it's still useful on this guy if you have the mana, especially if you don't want to draw seven right away.
Urabrask: Not explicitly a passive, but Haste. Red creatures can always use moar Haste. MOAR MOAR MOAR HASTE. Plus it works very well with his "anti-haste" ability for your opponents. (Yes, I realize the abilities are designed to go together, I'm just pointing out that he's a good creature :P )
Sheoldred: Swampwalk... seriously? All of the 'walks tend to be useful as sideboard material at best, or just a LAME tack-on to an already good card (Like Sheoldred here). Y'know what Sheoldred rea... (see all)

@Everyone complaining about swampwalk: Yeah I agree, swampwalk is definitely useless on this creature. It's not like they printed a cheap black common in this very same set that can turn any land into a swamp. Not at all. And if they did, they would definitely done something like, oh, mention this creature in that card's flavor text or something, to make the synergy extremely obvious.
Because that is what flavor text is for, to point out which cards work well together.

Still not immune from Go for the Throat
All this thing needs is a Swiftfoot Boots or some other hexproof giving artifact or enchantment to be truly broken - nothing like an evil card that you can't get rid of.
While this is good (5/5) there is no point in playing such a "kill-me-first" type card without proper protection for it. It will get targeted very quickly and very ruthlessly.
(I still want one though ....)

@ScepterofEternities
I had a dream once. In the dream, the research and design decided to go back to the old days, and lower the power level massively. They started printing cards like Wood Elemental, Aysen Highway, and Elder Druid again.
In my dream, removal of any kind was not allowed, as it helped contribute to the power level. It had become a circle jerk to see who could get their crappy creatures out first and win with them. In my dream, everybody quit playing magic, even the people that said the cards they were printing were too powerful.
This is a prime reanimator target... like all of the praetors, in my opinion.

i love this card, when ever i get it out i hardly ever loose, xD i run 2 of them and if you get 2 out your opponents feild is like 0 in 2-3 turns. its great. on top of that comboing it with Skinrender or fume spitter is great not to mention if your runing Blade of the blood cheif its just destructive. or if you put a whisper silk cloak on her its just inevitable victory.
