Some say broken, some say the power level that a mythic should be. Every game she hit the battlefield, she won me by herself, so perhaps that fits the latter. Especially since I only used her final ability once or twice; the first two were usually enough to get me a win. I do feel if it wasn't so one-sided she'd be a bit more balanced. Nonetheless, I loved playing with her, and will miss her now that I traded her away.

this card is soooo low. worst plaineswaler ever printed. not much of a combo card.
destroy all permanents like honor of the pure, and what do you have??? some 1/1 tokens. not a very interesting card

Not quite as powerful as her original version, but I find it very interesting that she is so far the only planeswalker that combos with herself. If you manage to pull of Elspeth, Knight-Errant's final ability and then play this card, everything you own is now Indestructible so... time to kill everything on your opponent's side of the field. Granted, that would in no way be easy to do.

Not a fan, WOTC have gone on record numerous times that they try to make walkers game winners, something which Elspeth is not, pulled her a couple of times in drafts and prereleases and am always dissappointed in how weak she is.

I'm sorry R&D, but Nissa Revane is the MUCH, MUCH better Elspeth!!!
Nissa's Chosen should have been a white Soldier or Knight and I would have liked this MUCH better than 3 tokens. 2 lifepoints per soldier and/or knights would have been much more flavorful than just 1 life for every creature.
Even the last ability would have been much cooler on Elspeth, if you can search for any number of soldiers and/or warriors instead.
But I believe WotC will go on and print stupid white token generation cards.

@Richard_Hawk, the reason she's rated lower than koth and venser, is because she's nowhere near as good, she's overpriced, and overhyped, the original elspeth was infinitely better, but in all honesty planeswalkers were the worst idea since greedo shooting first, they're completely ruined the game, and i totally agree with oleander guy, mythic's have also completely ruined the game, and this doesn't help one bit, its cards like this that make me want to quit, because while i like her, she's too expensive, and not worth it, and now, casual players like myself, can no longer afford to play the game, well done wizards, you've screwed us all.

Im curious how Elspeth's final ability works with protection cards i.e. Sword of War and Peace. Since the equipped creature is protected from white cards, would the creature and/or sword not get destroyed? Also for equipment cards in general, if they are equipped to a token creature, is the equipment card still destroyed?

A broken to hell planeswalker, allthe planeswalkers are to powerful, but this one can wipe the field the next turn. Bad card making at its best and an absolute reason the game as a whole will be better once the block is out.
