It makes pyroclasm that much more awesome. I think she could begin a white/red soldier burn deck phase.

It's a fun card, but at 7 mana and an effect which can potentially do nothing, it likely won't see constructed play. Put it this way - at 6 mana in white you can throw down either a Sun Titan (instant card advantage; does more damage and has vig) or a Wurmcoil Engine (huge beatstick + likely card advantage, and a major life-swinger).
Will show up in quite a few kitchen table decks though. Could imagine putting it together with other -x/-x static abilities to create a battlefield where no other creatures could survive (or at least, only the biggest could survive as little kittens ^^).

she is being underestimated by a lot of players here for constructed purposes
control decks need a win condition that can control board on its own and how many other win conditions can win the fight with her?
frost titan and baneslayer angel in here mana cost range she wins that important whose drop is more worth the mana fight and non black aggro decks will have a hard time removing her because of that 7 toughness
though when i first saw her i though mirror gallery+followed footsteps like i wanted to do with crovax but this would be so much more effective
glad to see good timmy cards still being printed even if they are all mythics now

She might see Standard Constructed play, in a U/W control deck or something that can stall to large amounts of mana. Or some deck in the spirit of Eldrazi Green or RUG that powers out fatties quickly. She's certainly strong enough. But I'm not going to put a lot of money on that bet - JaxsonBateman said it well, Sun Titan costs one less and likely generated better card advantage. We'll see.
However, in sealed, she's a beast. I put her in my prerelease sealed deck, not sure about it, and I ended up never regretting it. Quite a game-changer.

Did anyone notice how Elesh Norn can kill all the other opposing Praetors? (With Elesh Norn on the field: Vorinclex = 5/4, Jin-Gitaxias = 3/2, Sheoldred = 4/4, Ubrabrask = 2/2). HMMMMMMMMMMMM. >.>

Got her in a draft. My opponents were not pleased.
5/5

She just became my mono-white Angel EDH deck's general. My friends are frantically trying to find ways to deal with her now. Such a great card, 10/10!
