great card if you can give it hexproof or shroud

This ain't suppose to be mythic rare. Say all they want but this card won't be useful. Mana cost sucks, its power and toughness makes it too fragile, and its activated abilty needs combo.

Blue cant muster enough creatures to support this, you really would have to go out of your way to build around it and which point you'd be so dependant upon it you'd most likely loose the game played.

Why does no-one think this is Mythic?
IMO that face scores a Mythic rating, and the rest is just deliciously seductive Johnny potential. :-p
Remember- this is a Blue Card, and the effect is repeatable. I think it's fair to say that she should not be underestimated.

5 mana for 1/1 in Blue with UU in the casting cost
And the Mind Control ability depends on the number of creatures YOU have against their power
And they made it a mythic rare...
Somebody must have gotten drunk at Wizards
Would not have taken this even as a rare
@drpvfx
Using Necrotic Ooze or Havengul Lich doesn't help, silly. You need to spam creatures as her abilty reads:
Gain control of target creature with power less than or equal to the number of creatures you control
There are few creatures worth taking with 3 power or less and with many equips, +1/+1 counters and lords pumping creatures it will fall behind without you casing creatures to match the power
If you are playing B/U this set, you might as well play a zombie deck (which prefers to finish opponents off fast), a control deck which does not spam creatures or a mill deck which uses few creatures at all
Many people are more iffed she got a mythic sl... (see all)

My opinion on this card, from actually playing her in pre-release sealed (yes its sealed woo dark ascension kinda has weak cards with little removal) was that she auto won every single game she played. Okay maybe not realistic in a more competitive format, but what she does is pretty fun, and turns the tides. Even just her on the field you can take a pesky 1/1 of theirs and either keep it or chump block. The effect essentially snowballs. But to be fair yes her P/T is really low for what it should be. Three P/T would be a bit too generous though (or even haste). Overall fun to play, nice combo potential but its not a superior mythic compared to a few others in Dark Ascension. As for the people saying, if you gave it hexproof/shroud things could get really annoying for your opponent.

If you've built a good limited deck otherwise, Beguiler turns it from a deck that will win you some games into a deck that will win you every game you drop her.
Scoff at my 1/1 without an immediate effect, why don't you? I'll steal your bomb creature, or mine the rest of your board for chump blockers in the meantime. If you've been saving your removal I'm probably ahead anyway.
Constructed, this will see sideboards in Esper/WU Tokcns.

At first I also thought this was another card undeserving of its rarity in this block. Then I realized free/repeatable(even on same turn with untapers)/keep what you get even if it dies/and finally that U can actually get quite a few things out with zombies being part of U now. This would be fun in limited every time. U is sure to have enough support to help keep it from dieing especially if meshed with B

She's gonna get my crabs!
Hedron Crabs, that is.
Who am I kidding? She's gay, I saw her scissoring with Sorceress Queen.
