Sweet card. Crazy in limited, still seems like fun elsewhere (could be interesting with flicker effects, depending on what you flicker). And the art is gorgeous, though we've already seen it separate from the card. In other words, I want...well, at least one.

It should be "Whenever another nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, bolster 1."
Non-Token? Ugh. They are really pooping on a great series of legends from the last couple sets. Zurgo the Neuter King, Anafenza, Shell of Her Former Self, Tasigur, the Silumgar Necklace.
Seems a little...niche? When was the last time W/x weenie was a viable strategy, Lorwyn block?
I'm more interested in the flavor ramifications; if the Abzan Dromoka were banned from practicing necromancy but can still be protected by spirits, is there hope for some enemy-color aspects of the other clans to be preserved?

Easily a 2-of in any white weenie, perhaps 3 since she must die. Explosive as hell.
Turn two drop her. Turn three throw more creatures in. Turn four profit.

Narset still has red in her, per MaRo. I think there's some slight hints of the third colors still there, and the return of Ugin could be the catalyst for the clans to reform and try to combat the broods.

well you have to think about it like that: normaly only green gets creatures who attack for 3 on turn 3.
if you play her turn 2. and play another next turn she is alraedy 3/3. next turn she gest 4/4 and so on. seems pretty solid for me. another thing: if you play a morph after her, you can make the morph 3/3 if you want to..
Makes for an easier combo with Kitchen Finks than Melira, Sylvok Outcast. Other than that, pretty solid... 'Easier' meaning that she is probably more useful outside of the combo than Melira.

Yeah, I think that's intentional. They're trying to show that dragons rule in the DTK future.

Not trying to get into a flavor debate here, but If you're referring to this post, that certainly wasn't any kind of confirmation that Narset still has red in her. He was more likely referring to there being another 3-color planeswalker, which was just spoiled in the form of Sarkhan Unbroken.
I don't get how people are saying this is a meh or bad card. This is probably the strongest of the mono-color redone khans we've seen so far. Zurgo Bellringer is alright, but is absolutely worthless after some point in time. Sidis, Undead Vizier is strong, but a bit expensive and won't always feel effective. This new Anafenza comes down anywhere from turns 2-6 and she can still be valuable. She can bolster herself to stay relevant, she's offering double devotion to any deck that wants it, and she works very well. I'm definitely going to add her into my Abzan Aggro deck, and I have a strong feeling this card is going to see a large amount of tournament play, mark my words.
Man, if she didn't say non-token, she would have been so fun as a Commander, she could even have costed one more mana and I wouldn't mind. I guess good monocolored commanders just aren't in white's colour pie.

i think she is pretty solid and may see play.
While she is pretty solid, I don't think your white weenie deck will let bolster hit her multiple times in a row..
i didnt talk about white wheenie. just a deck with a "normal" curve. for example r/w or something
