Thoughts on elspeth? I was hoping for better but I do like her first two abilities...the last...eh

FlickerYourOwnIdentity

Is there a flying subtheme in Theros like they did in M14???  Could be the reason for her last ability.

Something about fatty board wipe is really funny.  At first anyway, I read what dudecore said about blue and I see all these blue fatties.  Even more punishment.

Blue needs to bounce back sometime soon, with all the bleeding of cool blue stuff lately, they better give them a transfusion of controlling awesomeness soon...

I didn't notice the rarity.  Even better, I'll get them with some ease. :)

I don't know how many 6+ mana 4/4 - 6/6s at rare/mythic I can take. 88% of them are unplayable. Blue just stinks so far, and with the exception of {Delver of Secrets}, what was the last truly good blue card? Green, Red, Black have had 5 or 6 since then.

Elspeth is meh, at least a lot worse than I expected her to be. Though I LOVE {Read the Bones}, NEED {Nykthos, Shrine of Nyx} and wouldn't mind having some {Underworld Cerberus}s.

ONLY 88%?!?  I thought that would be a higher percentage.  We had {Snapcaster Mage} though.  So far the only tolerable blue card is either {Turn the Tides} (If it says return nonland permanent, if not, I don't like it} and Thassa.  I tolerate it due to the fact that it at least HAS a blue ability of scry 1 each upkeep, other then that, I dunno.

I hate all these "attack me and see what happens AFTERWARDS" abilities.  The Azouris sphynx had it, and we hate him.  Teysa has it, and she isn't getting played.  (many reasons for that but still), I hate these...

I will play a mono green Monstrosity deck due to the legendary land, or a mono black control.  Two cards for the second reasoning, find them (it won't be that hard...)

I'm sorry for the bad spelling, I'm am tired...

Looking at MaRo's Twitter announcement for Elspeth which was "Theros needs a hero" and someone replied "Theros needs a cheaper hero :("

I honestly have never seen a Street Sweeper played.

Edit: And.........we have a green god.
Edit 2: And......a crappy hammer.
