So she runs from the Lhurgoyf and steps into a time rift.
So why is the flavor text on Lhurgoyf composed of her supposed "last words"? Simple. In her world, they never found her body. What else could she be if not dead?
What else indeed?

I love Time Spiral for printing cards like this. A nice reward for people who read the magic novels. Saffi, Stonebrow, Krosan Hero, Mishra, Artificer Prodigy, Jaya Ballard, Task Mage.
Her ability is cool and she is not behind the curve for a 2cmc creature. Casting her first makes casting an auto-target creature, like Tolsimer Wolfblood, Rhys the Redeemed or Elvish Piper, feel much better. I love throwing a couple in my G/W decks just to enjoy playing a legend or two. Her ability never makes me regret having her in play. Too bad it doesn't stop Path to Exile.

Good old Saffi. I can't believe she got her own card, and in my colors, too! Ach!
And that's a really sweet ability. I think it's more cleric-like, but whatever. It would be nice if she could use her ability on herself, but I guess that wouldn't make much sense.

Interesting that they made a card after a named character who's only mention in the flavour involved being devoured by a Lhurgoyf. I think Time Spiral block will always be my favourite block because of all of the references to past cards.

One of the reasons I love the Time Spiral set (all the card connections), this card always makes me smile for letting us know she made it ok.
So did Hans too, he runs quite fast.

Combo with crypt champion and anything else that triggers when a creature leaves or enters.

Saffi Eriksdotter has a cute bum.

I hear Innistrad is going to have human for the G/W tribe.
She looks like she'd fit in nicely. But as an EDH general, she'd have to compete with such favorites as Rafiq of the Many, Angus Mackenzie, and Captain Sisay for the spot of green and white legendary human.
