If anyone didn't know, Jeska eventually became a planeswalker, and then sacrificed herself to cause the Mending to happen. This is after turning into Phage the Untouchable and back a few times. I highly suggest you read more about her online if you're like me, and you're new to the game but didn't know this storyline. This card should definitely not get less than 5 stars. If it was printed today, sure, it would cost 1 less, but that's not overly important. The art is amazing.

Pretty ironic that it wins in a fight against an attacking Phage the untouchable for 3 less mana (3 first strike dama then tap to finish her off), pretty good card by itself, a nice card for Tenza, Godo's Maul 5/3 FS, haste, trample, tim? yes please.

Actually using Tenza, Godo's Maul would make her a 6/4 Trample, first strike, haste. This card is very cool for its low cost and useful effect. I think she would make a nice edition to most burn red decks. She should not be under estimated, after all she is Phage.

I'd like to see her as a Planeswalker, as in the books of that block her Spark ignites and she gets to meet Karn on Mirrodin at the end. That'd be pretty friggin' rad, I'd say.
That, and bring Urza to the party while you're at it!

Well, if you compare her abilities wit Kamahl, Pit Fighter's... yeah, she really looks like what his little sister is supposed to be.

@Mode.
Cards like that are actually the reason why i don't like the Planeswalker subtype. Legends from different time spans like Jeska and Phage can be cast next to each other, yet Ajani Goldmane and Ajani Vengeant can't?
The way I think of it is that there can only be one planeswalker spark. If you cast the same creature, regardless of shape, form, or time continuum, you separate the spark and dispel them both.

Really sad? Really cool if you ask me.
I didn't know that Braids, Cabal Minion turned her into Phage for a long time, but once i noticed it it's a pretty cool thing when recognizing the similarity in the artworks. Although Phages face looks a very tiny bit broader.

@Dragon_Whelp: In fact you CAN block and then ping. After blockers have been declared, before combat damage is dealt, there's a 'window' for players to play spells/activate abilities.
The only thing the new rules changed is that a creature that leaves play after being blocked (such as by sacrificing or returning to hand) will not deal any combat damage. A creature becoming tapped after blocking/being block will change nothing, and the rest of combat will carry on as usual.
