Hell they could have Robert Bliss doing the art and I still wouldn't mind. But even though she looks a little weird the art is amazing. And the art is like my least favorite thing on this card. The mana cost, the ability, the fact we are getting Feather. I'm getting four and jamming her in some sort of standard deck. Do I care if it's good. Hell no. I will be having fun casting the same spell every turn.

Aggressively costed evasive incremental card advantage engine. Gotta have a "no maximum hand size" ability on board to fully abuse her power.
Also, niche corner play - you can Lightning Strike your previously undamaged Feather in response to an opponent's discard spell so you can hide that particular card from them until EOT. So pseudo-discard evasion effect.
So I guess this goes arbitrarily large with Karn's Temporal Sundering although I'm not sure that matters. lol
Would this work? Does it only matter if the card gets exiled, or does Feather's effect have to be the one doing the exiling?
I'm not 100%. I know there is some weird rule regarding it not mattering what source put a card in exile as long as it still ends up there, but I'm not sure if that is applicable in this case.

I don't understand why people are so excited for this card. It isn't that good of a card. Standard and Modern wont play this. Is it that good for commander? Did she have some sort of lore that people are all silly about?

It doesn't work. Karn's Temporal Sundering exiles itself prior to resolution. Feather the redeemed has the stipulation that it must be exiled to its replacment ability in order for it to work.

That's due to the "if you do", I presume?

It's both. She does things in Boros that other Boros commanders don't, essentially giving the least tricksy color with the least amount of card advantage an avenue for both. As for lore, she's a character from back in the original Ravnica block that people have been waiting to see a card for. Combined, that's a slam dunk for the Commander crowd.

Can confirm, as a commander player I am currently dunking
It has more to do with the "as it resolves" bit, actually. See, spells that exile themselves on resolution do so before the spell attempts to execute the last part of resolution in which the spell tries to go to the graveyard, which is what Feather, rebound, and buyback actually replace. The "if you do" part mostly refers to the linked ability that returns only the spell exiled by her ability to your hand at the beginning of the next end step.
Actually the more I think about it I think this would be a good card for Jeskai control. Think about it, at nine mana you can Time Wipe every turn. And post board Essence Capture every turn.

Time Wipe does not target. It would be a terrible board wipe if it did.

That's too bad. It would probably be a broken board wipe if it did then because of Feather then.
I was always thinkin Feather was female. The mouth looks like a nustache.
But biggest question: Why is FEATHER any less than Mythic Rare ??
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Rare only means there will be more Feathers for all at a lower cost, which given this cards ability, plus the fact it is Feather probably means she will be one of the more expensive rares in the set.

Well, unlike that, this does have a once-per-turn limit.
