I don't have a magical crystal ball that can tell me if this will be relevant competitively, but I do know I want to revamp my casual Assault Formation deck with her in it.
Very very interesting that it's not an ally and that she is the "eternal pilgrim" as in she has no home and never will. Flavor wise she is not an ally, because it looks like she sacrifices others to gain life or exile other permanents (as though keeping herself alive) and has no home (as though she is either not welcome for her selfish lifestyle OR Zendikar has gone bye-bye).
I think it's becoming fairly obvious that Zendikar is not going to make it
The Eldrazi need to win in BFZ for them to be a credible threat
This absolutely makes me want to replace Vish Kal in my bw commander deck...
Could be Amazing with Athreos!
Seems like some crazy things could happen with her + Karlov + Vish Kal + Cradle of Vitality...!
just speculating plot lines here but could this eternal pilgrim be Nahiri who somehow lost her spark? Why else would this be legendary if not from a flavor point of view? Sorin avoided answering Ugin to the question of what happened to her, she didn't show up when the eldrazi got released which she would have if able. So she must be either dead or incapacitated somehow (like by losing her spark).
Unlikely that they planned this all the way back in Zendikar. Ayli is legendary, because she was a plot character, quoted on quite a few cards:
This is a good card, but definitely not a constructed staple. As a legendary creature, she's awkward in a beatdown strategy in multiples, and her second ability is just not going to come up that often. She's basically Disciple of Griselbrand with better stats. That's certainly playable, but you're going to need to want her as a sac outlet, with the removal and beatdown options just being gravy, before she starts to look actively desirable.
I meant how the question of if Nahiri will appear was phrased.
It was phrased just like all the if/when questions:
dungeons-and-vegans asked: When/if: a new Nahiri planeswalker card.
But he was talking about a PW card, not just an appearance, if that answers your question.
That is what I meant when asking about how the question was phrased. It now makes a difference since not every planeswalker will be getting a card every time they make a story appearance.

Looks like something that will only be usable in a non-competitive format. I could see her being decent in some Commander decks. For Standard, having a cost on the sac effect really throws cold water on that fire. And the exile ability's requirement is too steep against anything that doesn't durdle for five turns while you gain life.
Well I think I'm gonna go to value town with this one! Lets sac a hangarback walker with about half a dozen counters on and gain half a dozen and get half a dozen thopters! Very good card and I can see this being very used in standard!
The theme of the block is the allies going against the Eldrazi... Ayli is in the storyline as helping out the Eldrazi. She's totally in theme, just on the other side.

Wouldn't that make her an "eldrazi ally"
