How was she ever beaten by Gerrard?! Think about it.
1. Protection from Legends. Gerrard can't damage, target, or block her.
2. 7/4. He would deal a meager 3 damage, she'd suck it up and flatten him with 7 damage.
3. First strike. Even though he can't damage her, if he could, she'd still hit first and kill him.
4. "Destroy target Legend." THERE DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE COMBAT FOR HIM TO DIE.
Just to show that yes, Wizards is biased. Tsabo Tavoc would live on to kill some Legends another day. Ah, well. Also, yes - Leyline of Singularity.
As you were.

I would love to hear the flavor justification for an anti-legend card.

You see the mana cost? You see the power and toughess? You see the face?
You see Lady Orca?
You see the connection?

Very big resemblance to Empress Galina's effect.
EDH-wise, this'd be an odd general to play with. You'd need a bunch of non-creature permanent removal, since most edh decks give their generals some protection.
Not only that, but Leyline of Singularity isn't playable in these colours. It is in Galina's, though...

Anyone else notice the visual similarity to Sheoldred, Whispering One?

Remember, its creature only. Back then there was "summon legend" and "legendary" two different things. Wizards errata this card correctly. So if you have leyline of singularity out, You basically get Visara the Dreadful. Your better off running Visara, but this could make a fine EDH general.

Card of the Day, December 14th, 2012
It is a real wonder how Gerrard managed to kill Tsabo Tavoc here, but when you realize that all that Gerrard's card does is some mediocre life-gain and tap some creatures, you start to wonder if these legendary creatures are well-represented through their abilities. Because Gerrard is a badass (just sayin')

So much for "all legends are top-down".
*7/4 versus Gerrard's 3/4.
*First strike, with 7 versus a 3/4.
*Protection from legends. Yup.
*"Destroy target legend." LOL, you don't even need combat.

Yeah the potential for EDH is obvious but you have to remember that your general typically gets removed within one turn. Having a costly general that doesn't have an immediate impact is pretty risky....

I love this card... im really glad they change her from Zombie to Horror... But still I insist it would be so much more cooler for her to be a "Spider Horror"... it is exquisitely macabre for her. Besides it makes much sense with the books...
