The art on this card is just amazing. I'm not normally one for interpreting all this, but I can't keep quiet about how fantastically this represents everything that is GU, BG, and UB. To her right is an orb of black, she herself is decked out in a leafy green, and to her right is an orb of blue. Her face is the security and self-assurance one expects of a creature that's both 4/4 and has deathtouch, and possess all the grace and intelligence one finds inherent in both B and U (and even the ferocity of G in her hair). Even down to her abilities- she doesn't cast a spell, she doesn't summon or enchant or trick things out- she just pushes you to your own natural limits: the power of the natural world at its darkest, at its best.
All three colors, the philosophy of G/B/U, the flavor of gorgons and wizards- it has it all. I hope to god they use this artist again- he is on the ball!

Character Bio:
Thanks to their petrifying gaze, gorgons make few allies. But many seek out the gorgon sage Damia, whose breadth of magical knowledge rivals that of any archmage—and whose prices cut deep. Many have thought of forcing secrets out of her; her statuary is littered with the stone forms of those who've tried.

Flavour and fun wise 5/5 but i couldn't give a full 5/5...its expensive, fragile and needs to be build around....wait scrap that last comment about rating it down for being built around...holy crap...
Shes is comprised of the 3 best EDH colours....tutors, remvoal, ramp, draw, counter spells, counter abilities, permanat desruction/take control, taking extra turns general and she is a cracky threshhold, madness, discard, dredge enabler.
Psychatog, Life from the Loam, Voidslime, Time Warp, Primeval Titan, Demonic Tutor, Force of Will, Putrid Imp, Reanimate, Terastodon, Necropotenceand Lightning Greaves...those are just a few cards that might help you along...there are so many routes to take...my favorite pre con general

Kinda spendy @ 7cmc AND 3 diff colors... would have been nice if she were hexproof or had some kind of ping ability.

Alright so I am deconstructing this deck. I ran into my first problem with it last night. I powered her out quick with a sol ring and a grim monolith. I had a hand full of fat creatures. during my 2nd opponents turn he replicated a shattering spree and killed both my artifacts. I had no way of drawing cards for the entirety of the game. my hand literally remained at 7 full of cards I was unable to cast for the rest of the game. they just took the damage because 4 is not all that threatening. I know this probably does not happen all that much but 1 time seems too many for me.
