This would go in a storm deck! This into that one spell that draws a card and gives red or green mana? Broken.

A Red or Green Priest of Gix two-drop that can even fix your mana? Yes, please!

On top of that, she's just crazy in a shaman tribal deck.
There are plenty of good cheap shamans that can be cast with RedGreen, so she'll shine there with ease.
And once you play Sachi, Daughter of Seshiro, you can even tap her for GreenGreen.
That's what i call a great investment for a 2/2 that started off with a net loss of zero mana to begin with!

Combos with Burning-Tree Emissary

In all honesty though, cards like these keep magic interesting... And make me play Naya humans...

Supposing you draw four of these within your opening hand and first two turns... You can drop four bears on turn 2 and have RG to spare? Crazy. Even one copy on it's own, it's still a cube-worthy card. 5-STARS!

In draft you are getting two spells for 4 mana. On turn 2 this is pretty exciting its not Seething Song mana but in this set there are plenty of options at the 2 mana mark such as Alpha Authority, Bomber Corps, Disciple of the old ways, Firefist striker, Greenside Watcher, Skarrg Guildmage, and Madcap skills. This card is crazy if you draft for her. It can lead to blowout games when you have so much put on the board by turn 2.

Honestly I think this is one of the best cards in the entire set. It essentially cascades into any two drop, so with a decent hand you can do something like get out another one of these and then even a Lightning Mauler and swing for 4 or something. This card makes green/red aggro even more ridiculous in Standard.

Turn 2, Emissary into a Lightning Mauler, pair and swing! I'll take it!

Or better yet, Emissary into Emissary into Emissary into Emissary into Lightning Mauler, pair and swing!

If only she had haste, she would be my girl. Combo'ing with lightning mauler is still viable though, so I guess I can't complain.

The subtlety mentioned in the flavor text? This creature lets you splash red or green, not just smooth it.
