OK, so I must be the only person in the world whose wasn't repulsed when I opened this card. My first impressions were 1. Everything about this card makes it looks like it came straight out of Legends, and 2. This is going in my Ghave, Guru of Spores EDH deck. In the case of Ghave, those 1/1 Saproling tokens are very valuable, and are probably going to start coming out once you get 8 mana, which could be exacty one turn after this card comes out.
This card is good for Commander/EDH if you're expecting to have a lot of tokens that you want to protect and know someone is probably going to Magmaquake or Corrosive Gale for 1-4 and wipe them all out (so giving them hexproof or shroud isn't going to help). If you manage to get Ajani, Caller of the Pride to ultimate, you're going to want a little help making sure your 30-40 2/2 cat tokens don't die to a Pyroclasm (and by that time, you... (see all)

She does seem a bit price heavy, but five mana for a 5/7 plus two mana to protect tokens from burn, infect, and lethal damage isn't to bad. I don't see why people should get upset when WotC doesn't overpower her, plus being in green, and probably at least having 5-10 tokens in play by this time I consider to be pretty good.

One and half stars. You guys are fucked and spoiled. This is at least a two and half, if not three star card.

I don't hate her, because she's awesome in Momir Basic! Plus the art is pretty cool.

Fun Fact: She was originally from Homelands... JK. You get it, this card sucks.

While she isn't the best card in the world, she is by no means 1.125 bad.
EDIT: Wizards in no way should be getting this much backlash for printing this card. Sure, it isn't the greatest effect in the world, but she's still a good card. Tokens dominate when she hits the board, especially when they can attack without fear of opening themselves up via Intangible Virtue. Don't be so ungrateful either, I mean it isn't like they work hard every year to release 1000+ cards for you to hate over.
Good. God.

I hope Emmara wins the race, just to screw with you spike trolls.

@Silence9
Or you could, I dunno, run a good W/G commander and cheat out Avacyn for much better effect. You can come up with all kinds of justifications and reasons why everyone is wrong but it's like trying to explain that Hitler wasn't all bad because he promoted conservation and the arts.

ddemons: ACTUALLY....(please everyone consider my words here) i LIKE THAT about her.
Now, there are two edges to this sword: On the ONEhand, And May I START with my commiseration and sympathies, for a Standard, end-of-awesome-season, High Profile card in a set, YEAH, this was a huge let-down for Selesnya Players. The only justification for that would be if Wizards cited "This is White and Green. Thragtusk is Green. Restoration Angel is White. Yeah, we nerfed you, because you were looking like you were asking for it. We were thinking better safe than sorry."
ON HAND #2, when you think OUTSIDE the context of the (honestly OVERLY) much-anticipated Maze Runner Cycle (y'all wanted Mythics if you read the forums. These aren't Mythics. Some people are ONLY happy with Melek, which makes no sense), let's PRETEND this was for Planechase 2015, or Commander's Toolbox, or something. I actually HONESTLY enjoy the set Legends. ...
