Hey, it's like they put Stifle on a (very shapely) stick and made it not broken! 3 CMC to activate is a bit restrictive, but since almost all active abilities come from permanents (cycling being one exception) you should pretty much always know just how much mana to hold aside.
In most cases I'd rather run Pithing Needle, but between the tap ability and being able to as many abilities (and different cards) as you have mana for, she's certainly far from outclassed. Also compliments Meddling Mage very well in that if a major threat or two slip in before you get out your Mage, you can still likely nullify a the card without having to use a kill or bounce.

good card you and shut down your apponints huge cards before they get a chance to use it. i have the Azorius Guildmage deck its good for controling the game and chipping away apponints life a little at a time.

She really isn't that shapely. She's a b cup, tops. I'd call her build "lanky", actually.
I love her. My favorite guildmage, her abilities are arguably better than the rest of the guildmages (save Izzet Guildmage for infinite mana production capability and Simic Guildmage for aura related shenanigans), and her abilities are really economically priced. She's got half a stifle with a reusable aspect, and she's got a tap that doesn't require her to tap.
I also love her aesthetics. She looks tired and bored, which, when combined with the completely-stall-the-game abilities, really adds to the bureaucratic flavor of Azorius.

Very nice wizard that you can use with Azami, Lady of Scrolls. Tap her to draw a card and still be able to use both her abilities, yowza.

I picture her sounding like an African woman slapping Sorin telling him to shut the hell up every time I use the 2nd effect.

Cast Training Grounds and watch your opponent cry

Only good for the activated ability counter as there's very little of that in this game.

So, I'm the only one who thinks she looks like Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan?

Really great next to Interdict and counterspells. If they play a fetchland, counter that for card advantage. If they play a spell, counter it.
If neither? Think Twice
