Beautiful card with some powerful abilities that work well in a variety of decks. She's no Mind-Sculptor, but is everything a Planeswalker card should be.

I seriously think they made a mistake giving her two +1 abilities, she's the only Planeswalker with two abilities that add loyalty counters and the second one is powerful enough to go down loyalty counters.

She's a foxy lady. I hope I can see a shield maiden in real life. Excellent card. All ability are superb. 4 mana with 4 loyalty counters.

this card is amazing to use, and being white, you should have some +life cards that you can use to boost loyalty, so you can easily get the final ability and get your opponents into checkmate. however, it gets boring to do this as it adds little variety to the game as this will be pretty much an "i win" move and most players are annoyed by this, so most people dont want you to use this ability as it is really cheap.

hmmm it seems like there are alot of misunderstanding around this card.
Indestucteble meens that they can't take lethal damage and can't die to destroy effects. can die to being sac'ed or their toughnes reaching 0. and both path to exile and pacifisme works perfectly fine.
some people say that she is weak. but i find her rather powerful and a alround card, worth the space in most deck that can afford her mana cost. her first ability is the best. spitting a token every turn, is ok. second ability makes one of your creatures near to ublockable. and her last you imune to wraft of god.(even the wraft of god, or amagedon. that you play yourself)
and even if she dies. then you have in reasourses used one card and four mana, to get preasure on your opponant, five life and a 1/1 creature. thats pretty neat.

Elspeth is a beautiful card... I run 3 in my mono white soldier deck, and it's really really fun making a Kazandu Blademaster a 5/5 (or bigger) first strike vigilance for a turn and bashing for 5 every single turn... Lots of games are won that way.

I've played against her five times, and the highest loyalty she's gotten to is 6, always dying after reaching that. The thing is, who the 1=(_)ck is going to let that stay on the board?

She's easily built up for her indestructible bomb, but her build up abilities are honestly conditional in use and she's a very large target which will likely be steamrolled before she can pop if the other player is smart.
Without having any unconditionally useful abilities such as Garruk Wildspeaker's land uptap or Sarkhan Vol's much larger and much more intimidating summon power I just feel that she's lacking. Indestructible doesn't give them immunities to spells or abilities your opponents control, so really all she has going for her is that she has one mediocre ability that will likely only get any use 1/4 of the time.
I really can't say it any clearer than that. Indestructible just isn't tempting enough for me to seriously use, especially because it's a very flimsy defense compared to what could be. (Indestructible is really nothing more than a permanent regenerate shield, which is only slightly better than regenerate.)
