Looking at the art, Jace obviously isn't into her for her abilities.

Ok, first off, we all know she's awful. Secondly, can we talk about how shes got a 5/7 body... I mean WHAT? How and why? Then she costs 5GW and besides her body she manages to protect tokens from burn and combat trades. Despite how nice that is, its not worth 7 mana on a creature that can be removed in other ways along with her fireproof tokens. She could've had some sweet ability that mixed in beautifully, something flavorful. She puts her ranks before her? She should be able to sac herself to make tokens indestructable or something like that. I can see her being a 5 drop 1/3 that gives tokens +1/+1 and "WWGG: creature tokens you control are indestructable and have vigilance until end of turn." I personally would've preferred something along those lines. While she's alive she helps her allies and she's willing to sac herself to give them the boost they need.

Her usefulness is greatly diminished by the fact that most removal aimed at tokens is either -X/-X, sacrifice, or straight-up destroy. None of those count as damage.

From what I hear, the Champions were originally supposed to be Mythics, and Emmara was supposed to have Voice of Resurgence's ability instead (he would've had hers); when they decided to make the Champs Rares, they just switched the two.

Why couldn't they have given her something actually useful, like "Populate during your upkeep" or "Tokens you control are indestructible"? Or at least another ability to add onto the one she already has?

Her last name sounds a bit like a Sdrawkcab name, but reading it backwards - Sirdnat - sounds just as backwards.

Lets see if we can fix her, shall we?
So first, what is the biggest issue? The mana cost. Seven is too much. Lets go with 3WhiteGreen.
Next is the ability. Maybe "If damage would be dealt to a creature you control, put a +1/+1 counter on Emmara."
With this ability, maybe a 1/2.

This would be a decent creature, that might actually see play.

Gabriel Angelfire and Lady Caleria look at her and laugh.

It is hard to make Legends from Legends look good, but Emmara does try. She is the powercreeped version of Jasmine Boreal.

Just got this card in foil from a booster. First time I ever got a foil rare in a booster, I was super excited. Then I read her rules text and I was like "Hmm... pretty nice". Then I read her mana cost and I was like "No, no, no, that's too high." Then I came here and read everyone's thoughts on her and looked up her value and I was like "Dangit, my first foil rare and it's one of the worst rares printed in recent memory. Sounds like Voice of Resurgence is the card to have :(" Then I opened my next booster and it had Voice of Resurgence!

My thoughts on the card: Think of it as if Emmara Tandris and Avacyn, Angel of Hope were on a single card. I'll call it Emmara Tandris, Angel of Hope just for the sake of argument here. If you want an example of this sort of functionality, look at Anavolver:

Emmara Tandris, Angel of Hope 5White (6)
Legendary Creature (5/7)
Kicker Green or WhiteWhite (You may pay an additional Green or WhiteWhite as you cast th... (see all)

Interesting, the only other elf card with the same total power and toughness is Wirewood Guardian. Darn Mutants elves.

omg this card is so bad. Honestly, this card is just rude to the players. Giving every guild a new legendary creature (and therefore a new commander to experiment with), and making this one so bad that's it's unplayable, is just a kick to the nuts to selesnya players.

Also, ya, I agree with everyone questioning the 5/7. wtf?
