Although these days she's rather subpar back in the day she was one of the few good cards out of homelands.
Anyone who complains about mythic rares these days needs to look at homelands, every card under U1 (what was rare for small sets then) was utter shit, you'd rip packs hoping for Serrated Arrows or Primal Order, and wouldn't cry when you opened her, Erron, or Seinger.

A card that you can pump but your opponent can't target? Sounds good to me.

A great commander card. Load up your deck with enchantments to pump her up with counters and trample. Then throw in Rabid Wombat, Yavimaya Enchantress, and Aura Gnarlid as well.

Overall, not a bad card. She's a decent sized creature with shroud that you can remove for a specific player. As others have mentioned, there are many better options nowadays.

@zqft: Her ability doesn't target. Targetting normally only applies if the card uses that word or uses some sort of keyword ability that contains the target concept in it (Equip, Fortify, Enchant Creature).
General comment: LOVE the art. I wish there were more art like this. I also wish she had true troll shroud, slightly better stats, cheaper cost, or just anything to make her more playable. I imagine a fun "Girl Fight" between her and Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief. Drana's power can't hurt AW. :-)

Ah, yes. I remember opening a crapton of Homelands boosters looking for this card. About the only decent thing in that godawful set.

Amusingly, now that Glaring Spotlight is a thing that exists, her ability is safer than modern Hexproof creatures, for which she might be considered the prototype.
Sadly, she's still really overcost by modern standards, and I doubt Glaring Spotlights will become endemic enough around the kitchen table to make her relevant again with Thrun, the Last Troll around.

One of the best creatures in her time, but barely playable by todays standards. It kind of hurts to see these creatures that served me so well in the past become obsolete and dusty antiques. Serra Angel is in the same boat.
Pretty sure she was the first creature with a troll shroud type thing.

She looks like Angela from The Office.
