I've seen people complain about her Power/Toughness but the Toughness is high because of burn and the Power is high because she is made to also be able to kill the opponent. I agree its a flavor short coming but they needed it to be that way for game play reasons.

As for the effect, it doesn't do much but the Dread effect is fun for Commander.

Like Rune-Scarred Demon, she's an expensive creature with an old awesome black card stitched on. Sure, the stitching was done with a different fabric, but the design is the same.

Don't play this anywhere except for EDH. No Mercy probably wasn't played too heavily in Standard either when it was around because the creature needs to hit you first. It was also a single-coloured 2BlackBlack enchantment. Do you think your opponent's going to care if they're swinging for the kill? I don't think so.

Lol #notimpressed #getonmylevel

I don't know why people don't like her; she has much Reanimator potential.

An amazing card that totally kicked my butt at prerelease. Wonderful flavor, great art, amazing abilities... You'll get to her even at 7-drop. Dragons Maze format overall is very slow and Orzhov and Teysa benefit from it.

I cracked her open at the prerelease and I have to say, she is the definition of a bomb. She blocks anything on the ground with impunity, goes through for four unchallenged, and makes people think twice about attacking. With Isperia, Supreme Judge as my Azorius rare, I stopped more than my fair share of threats.

Do the tokens go on your side or your opponents? I can see W/G/B token decks happening with this and Beckon Apparition.

Awesome card. If you can find a way to discard her and play her from your graveyard at a reduced cost, it could give you an advantage early on.

@SirLibraryEater: The rulings answer your question - "Teysa’s controller gets the Spirit creature token, not the controller of the creature that dealt combat damage."

I find myself wishing she didn't have vigilance. As it is there's no decision making with this card, either your opponent kills her or she wins the game for you. Having to decide whether to keep her back as an invincible blocker or trust her ability to kill their creatures before they kill you would make for a more interactive card.

I really like the flavor: she's the best advokist on the plane, so if you attack in her direction she'll drag you to court, have you executed and enslave your ghost as payment. Priceless.
