I think someone made a good point about Selesnya concerning rares. They've got overpowered ones. Advent of the Wurm could have been their guild leader and they would have been happy. I agree the ability is meh, but If you make real cheap (say 3 CMC) you have a big problem- It curves too well.
T1:Land
T2: Voice of Resurgence/Call of the Conclave
T3: This, but edited.
T4: Either Trostani, Selesnya's Voice or Growing Ranks
This is going to get unstoppable. They have a weak rare, one that can be useful, and though I think it could have been better, play the rest of Selesnya. Dimir didn't get so hot of a Maze Runner, and don't have as strong a support as Selesnya.

My only thought for using her effectively is to somehow put a token of her into play, so that she prevents all damage done to herself.
It's weird how this dainty little creature is 5/7. I mean think about it... she can take a punch from a titan and just wipe her bloody nose, spit her dislodged tooth onto the floor and come back ready for round two.
In my head, she's being repeatedly knocked around the squared circle by Apollo Creed dressed in a tutu and high on crystal meth, but somehow she just doesn't go down. Not that I'm praising the performance at all... I just enjoy seeing her being beaten up because of how awful this card is.

@ MrShinyObject
No, you keep 1 they keep one, she doesn't make them indestructible, just prevents damage. She will however work against damaging mass removal, as Blasphemous Act
And even there she will die herself
Also, all of us selesnya should hail our new supreme leader Voice of Resurgence
I, For One, Welcome Our New Elemental Overlord

Voice of Resurgence - May we never forget the real Emmara Tandris.

Who invited the original Legends bad legends designers back for this?
Should have had at least Vigilance, Convoke, Populate or Regenerate to go with the GW theme in Ravinca

The real question here is, do she got a booty? With 7 toughness... she do.

This effect could be interesting at a lower CMC. The cost of 7 is at odds with token decks that will often aggro pretty quickly, and is far too close to Avacyn to be practical. If she was weaker and cost, like, 3 or 4, you could drop her and force some pretty undesirable combats (as well as gaining protection from Blasphemous Act), but as is she just comes down too late to affect anything.

The reason there is so much hate for this card is that she is not just leagues worse than every other champion, but that she's also the only champion who is an important storyline character, so there was a lot of hype about her before she was revealed. When it was revealed that she is worse than many legends from the oft laughed at Legends set, the backlash was predictable.

Well, she is the top babe in the Selesnya's Druid-Wear Calendar.
