I can see this having a spot in a lot of UW decks, especially with Consecrated Sphinx and the titans rotating out.

I thought Isperia was a normal-sized Sphinx? Either she grew massively, or she somehow shrank all of Ravnica.

This has to be the most dull looking legend of the set in terms of abilities. But when you really think about it, she is a interesting in her simplicity. I already Have Jarad, thanks to the dual deck. And out of the other Legends in the set, She and Niv-Mizzet Dracogenius are the 2 I'm most excited to be able to get my hands on. The reason I want her is because I want to make a defensive Siren style commander deck.

The best WU Legend IMO.

How odd... This Isperia is actually rated lower than the other one... I guess she is the only guild master so far to have gotten harder to play though.
While card advantage is very important it will help a lot less in this situation. In general, if an opponent is still attacking you after they have a massive 6/4 sphinx staring back at them... then you've probably lost anyway. She's also impossible to combo with and generally won't save you in a bad spot and isn't any better at ending the game than any other big flyer. Overall, Admonition Angel ends it faster, Sunblast Angel is more likely to reverse things, and Bruna, light of alabaster protects you better and, most importantly, all three of them survive flame slash

Can't help but feel someone got her Power and Toughness mixed up. I mean, lets look at old Isperia: 3/6. Very WU, very Azorius.
6/4 isn't Azorius. I would've gladly had, say, 4/6 Flying Vigilance for her, as it'd make much more sense for both her colors and her guild.

The non-pros saying this card isn't that good make me laugh. I am a pro and I can assure you that card advantage wins games and this legend not only gives you card advantage, but card advantage in a big way. And detain actually does work well with this because detain only lasts a turn and it prevents your opponent's nastiest creatures from attacking. The card-drawing effect isn't so great when you are taking massive damage so detain gives you more control with your card draw. Awesome legend.

I both do and don't like Isperia.
On one hand, the card is drawn when you are attacked, not dealt damage, which can lead to many "In response" situations where you play something like Fog.
On the other hand, drawing cards doesn't win you the game. It's good for EDH, but unless Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind is out, you still won't win from drawing cards. It's hard to play down (expect for in limited), and when it is, you'll probably be under extreme heat.
