new players as they show up maybe twice with some budget deck they've spent the week designing and testing only to be beaten into oblivion by expensive decks they cannot hope to obtain and I think this is a tragedy.
do want. hopefully this wont see play so I can pick it up!
still think this is pretty good. at the very least, by the time it gets out, it should get you 2-3 cards (and hopefully will last till next turn to get you 2-3 more, assuming opponent will attack)
Unfortunately, the way Standard is right now, the skill may mostly lie in figuring out that you shouldn't play her (or at least that you shouldn't maindeck her).
"Theft of Dreams" is a cool ability, but I don't think you can ever justify paying 5 mana for it during your main phase, and the +1 ability probably doesn't have enough impact against the current insanely fast aggro decks. (Against something like ramp, on the other hand, the +1 is very good and that makes her worthwhile.)
Oh, this is what my RUG deck has been wanting. This seems very good against slower decks, like Wolf Run and (Insert Control deck here), and not very good against aggro. I definitely could use a couple of these for my sideboard.
The ultimate is bonkers for control decks. Formats other than Standard may take a look at this, and post-rotation I can see potential uses for this depending on what M13 and RTR bring to the table (some kind of Izzet control deck?).
I'm definitely preordering some of these.

In this current standard, she is too slow. It's a pity really, she's got pretty art and sweet abilities. Oh well, maybe Return will be slow enough to allow her usage.

None can do that, with the possible exception of bolas, using his -2, because that seems smart.
I guess OP wants it to be 'keyworded' like "dies" was. What word would you replace ETB with though?

When Huntmaster of the Fells arrives?
When Kitchen Sphinx lands?
When Faerie Imposter busts in?

She protects herself much better then at least half of those.

Negative it does not.
If it does not stop multiple flying guys the turn it comes down then no it does not pass the test.
Simply not playable and 5 cost at that. I can see its use after rotation with feeling of dread and other tap effects that stall game.
This format is entirely too fast for anything 5 cmc planeswalker that is not named gidion.
She can protect herself as much as Sorin.
I'm definitely preordering some of these.
I'm a Spike Vorthos - I love lore and flavor, but only if the cards are competition worthy.

There is no PW that can stop an entire army on its own
Even Gideon just becomes a 5 mana fog with enough power on the board
I doubt this is playable outside of control mirrors but idk for sure
