...and Zurgo and Narset (yes, she counts. She was the khan in KTK, so clearly they wanted her to count as part of the old khans cycle). Surrak is almost 100% going to have formidable. I'm interested to see what his formidable ability is
Strong synergy with persist? Check.
Soldier/Spirit tribal shenanigans? Check.
Buffs your weenies? Check.
Dude. You know what dude would like to have her in their army? This dude. Hes basically all like "Come at me bro!" as if you hit his controller for like 7 damage hes then all like "That the best you got bro?!" as he makes seven 2/2 soldier tokens with Anafenza 2.0 out and her bolster shenangians.

Not as good as people are implying with the Bolster; sure, things will get bigger, but Bolster is harder to control than yall think. ): She is pretty fun with Hardened Scales tho. Evolve became white!

I kind of wish she had first strike but that may have been asking wotc for too much. I'll definitely have to pick up a foil for my solider collection though and perhaps add her to my casual soldier deck
This thread reminds me of stories I heard of people trying to think of how to fill their graveyards in order to make tarmogoyf good. You don't need anything special to make this a solid card. You just need to play creatures.
I know. Playing creatures is such a tough requirement nowadays! [/sarcasm] Why are people not excited by this card? It's easily a 3/3 for WW and then some. It lets you run one-drops and have them not be terrible late in the game--kind of a big deal. Really, it's an aggressively-costed two-drop that can take over the game with a few buddies. Seems good.
She also combos with persist? now you can run 8 copies of Melira. Mind you, you need to work for it, with her being WW. But being able to run this as a back up aggro plan ain't that bad.
Also with Zendikar rearing it's head. I can imagine she fits right into Allies (if we get allies).
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?
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.
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.
If you read the most current Uncharted realms you would know she has red in her. Just until the point of her planeswalker spark igniting it has been under control from her teachings with Ojutai.
I might try replacing Wingmate Roc with 2 of these in Abzan aggro, lowering the curve significantly and maybe being able to swap a land out for a non-land.

Unless you're equating "being neurodivergent or neuro-atypical" with being red, then no, the Uncharted Realms does nothing to demonstrate that Narset is red. In any case, she's not going to get another card anytime soon, so there's no point in debating it, but I would be absolutely shocked if she was Jeskai colored when she did show up again.
Not bad at all, but I'm miffed that she has nothing going on beyond the possibility of being 3/3 on T2. No vigilance? First strike? Lifelink? Hexproof? Perhaps even flying?
Same with Zurgo Bellstriker. Its just a 2/2 for 1 or 2/2 with for 2 with Dash 1R.
This is honestly what it feels like from wizards. "Did you enjoy the original five khans? Did you think they were cool? Want to see there far weaker alternate reality selves? Turns out are far weaker than the dragonlords they serve."
Its starting to become a pet peeve of mine that the reminder text takes up an unneeded amount of space that could be better used to add even a keyword or 1-3 line trigger or activated ability. First Zurgo and his stupid dash that is taking up four lines of text. Now Anafenza and her stupid bolster is taking up two lines of text. They are so French Vanilla.
I will reiterate that I wish she at least had first strike or even vigilance. Seeing as how she's legendary and double white they could have thrown her a bone. Maybe too good in draft? But then again she's not doing much with so many high power flyers around her. They could have given her both and she still probably wouldn't see much play outside of casual
Not sure if someone else responded, but is a sucky interaction. Norin will almost always have the least toughness, and then exile himself, losing the counter.

Someone tell Craig Wescoe about this card.
I can imagine Mikaeus, the Lunarch and her were made for each other. And her BFF Thalia, Guardian of Thraben.

And she'll be in all star in Tiny Leader.
"Nontoken" and "Nonland" mmight be the two words that ruin cards for me the fastest.

Maybe thats a thing for modern to build around.
Not triggering on tokens hurts still ...

You would put the counter on the token generated, not Norrin. When he enters, you put it on one of the new tokens.

"Did you enjoy the original five khans? Did you think they were cool? Want to see there far weaker alternate reality selves? Turns out are far weaker than the dragonlords they serve."
The only great legend from the bunch is Sidisi, Undead Advisor and that is because of Eternal Formats that have access to cards like a Haunted Crossroads or a Dawn of the Dead.
