From a lore perspective... how is she a capashen paragon when the entire clan except gerrard was wiped out when the bloodlines project was discovered, which is why gerrard was sent to jamuuraa and raised with vuel, later volrath, and gerrard died during the events of apocalypse without any heirs since his love, hanna, ALSO died...

Apparently the plot twist is that they weren't all killed off, just like how we still have an Umezawa running around despite Bolas's concerted efforts at wiping out that bloodline.

Perhaps a Capashen survived through time shenanigans..?

I hope someone adds to this because I do not know any of Magic's history. I hope they make a new artbook for Dominaria updating on all of the events of the past.

Well they can play the "not all Capashens died in the purge, time travel shenanigans, or some one took the name Capashen to honor Gerrard.
The monent that the knowledge dropped that Serran Church related forces have that specific seal, I knew that this art will fall to a Benalia related creture... never knew it would be Gerrards descendant. Cool~

Not all Capashen died. Only Gerrard's family was killed, not the whole Clan. This is not a retcon, it was always how it went.
She might find a place in the current Aura deck in Standard
What are the details of that? I just did a quick search on the most used standard cards in mtgtop8, and it looks like 2 of the top 3 most-used Auras (Cartouche of Solidarity and Curious Obsession) don't have a generic mana component so this wouldn't discount them at all.

This is true--Gerard has no direct descendants, but his cousins or something did. Bear in mind also that Benalish heredity at the time wasn't connected to blood relations anyway. (That's since changed.)
And it happens in real life and stories all the time when someone is trying to kill a bloodline, there always a 3rd or 4th cousin somewhere or someones wife/girlfried/lover is pregnant and able to escape.

That's true. I forgot that neither Aura has a generic component.
Still, maybe there are Auras that will appear in this set that might be worth using with her.
There are plenty of auras which will be decent with her now, at least until some of them rotate out. Aether Meltdown, Cartouche of Knowledge, Conviction, or Swashbuckling; those are only from the list of cmc 2 auras, I didn't list others. Technically, Oakenform will be legal when she becomes available next month.
There still isn't much in the way of equipment, though, but I guess Honed Khopesh or Inventor's Goggles for 0 then a low-cost equip will boost her stats a little.

Cool from a lore point of view.
>Makes Auras and Equipment cheaper
Cool from a gameplay point of view. She might find a place in the current Aura deck in Standard, and Sram.dek in Commander.
"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
Wish it would reduce equip costs, too, but beggars and choosers, etc. ...

Why would this be 1W when it's a 2/2 with three keywords and a reduction ability for the two most significant noncreature subtypes in white?
Perhaps a Capashen survived through time shenanigans..?
I hope someone adds to this because I do not know any of Magic's history. I hope they make a new artbook for Dominaria updating on all of the events of the past.
Anyway, what a great uncommon.

"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
It would make cards like One with the Wind, Cartouche of Knowledge, Swashbuckling, and maybe even Tilonalli's Crown more playable. The trick, I think, is finding a cheap hexproof creature to put it all on. Maybe the new white knight will work.
That's true. I forgot that neither Aura has a generic component.

There still isn't much in the way of equipment, though, but I guess Honed Khopesh or Inventor's Goggles for 0 then a low-cost equip will boost her stats a little.
And she might be good in standard from all the good auras
