I'd say this is, straight up, the best white 1 drop of all time. But, I'd only be mostly right, in EDH Serra Ascendant is a 1 mana 6/6 flying lifelinker and is almost auto-scoop in 1v1. Overall as a card in all formats, this is not only the best one drop in white, it's among the greatest 1 drops of all time. If your opponent ever untaps with this, it will mess up combat counter removal spells and is stupidly good in multiples all with no further mana investment. Imagine how much worse it would be if you had to pay 
& tap to activate, it would be a lot worse but it would still be very good. That is how amazing this card is.

It doesn't get much better than this in terms of one-drops. Mom's a pretty frustrating card to face down, especially when she comes out turn one. If you don't find a way to deal with her - which often involves 2 or more cards - you'll have trouble dealing with every other creature your opponent drops. I think I hate playing against this card more than I like playing it, but either way it's incredibly efficient and one of the rare one-drops that's valuable whether you play her in the beginning, middle, or end of the game.
5/5, though I paused for a minute before rating because she just looks so darn unassuming and smug, quietly sipping her tea while you tear your hair out.

She is a pillar to many a legacy deck. She smuggly dominates removal strategies, especially if supported by token producers. She's a 1-drop that blocks Goyf and KotR; even titans; and has no issues doing so.
Her damage prevention means that you can block something holding a Jitte and give up no counters to it.
She causes unblockability of a color allowing one to get final bits of damage through. She's a powerhouse that only gets better with time. Just like the "cycle" of insane 2-drops, she's in the cycle of insane 1-drops that holds legacy together.
(Consider Devoted Caretaker when it comes to a deck that utilizes important enchantments/artifacts)
