I think that she can dig for her combo pieces is amazing. I think she is going to go infinite many times.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone
Flickering Ward and Whip Silk are repeatable Auras that can generate a 1/1 token for 2 mana of the same color.
Thank you i knew there was one out there, couldnt remember the names. Goes infinite with parallel lives/doubling season/annointed procession and earthcraft, theyre tapped but so what
And by her looks is this mtg depiction of Xena warrior princess?
Although she may look a bit like Xena, I think this is a gender change of Jason - the number of female heroes in greek mythology is fairly limited, so it was necessary to switch to female for a few of them to maintain gender parity. Jason for those who don't know - was the captain of the Argos, a famous ship crewed by an equally famous group of soldiers/sailors - the Argonauts (enchanted with flickering ward). He quested for the golden fleece (look at top 7). He practically sired an entire island on lemnos (enchanted with gift of immortality), and finally he planted dragon teeth to make soldiers (rancor).
Speaking of limited female protagonists/antagonists - I think Circe is calliphe, beloved of the sea. And medea from the Jason story would certainly be an interesting character (something like UR or UB).
Maro said she is just a card of the amazon trope. The Xena/Wonderwoman likeness are simply due to them all drawing from the same sources.

While Medea would be a very compelling card in MTG, especially as a witch, she’d most certainly be either mono black or dimir. We have Atris in the dimir slot and Dalakos
(Daedalus) in izzet. I don’t suspect we will see Medea on this visit sadly, but it would be neat. We should put a list of myth characters together in the lore forum that need cards.
I’m really hoping for a Pavios and Thanasis (gay Pyramus and Thisbe) saga or legendary creature cards (I’d prefer saga Of their story though). Medea of course. Jason and the Argonauts. Heracles May be in this set but if not, then him of course. Europa, Andromeda and Cetus, Aphrodite (instead of Klothys, ugh wasted potential for a forgotten god of love returning, inspired by Daxos and Elspeth’s story) and many more
Seriously, TBH has just been awesome. I've have found something for every deck I currently run, whether it's a serious card to add or just so fun that I want to throw it in.
Siona is just...man, can't even put it into words but I'll try...Siona has combo potential, she digs for the pieces of that potential and she generates value. The art is beautiful, the effects are good and she's well costed. As a commander or 1 of the 99, she's just brilliant! I finally got that card to enable an infinite combo for Kestia.
Real talk, I'd love to go over to WotC and shake the person's hand who came up with her.

I feel this way about every card in the set so far; so glad to see others sharing in the enthusiasm
A lot of people have voiced discontent with the lack of story on multiple platforms. Let alone the passionate outrage against Forsaken. That one I wasn’t involved in. You’re enfranchised enough to be here sis, check yourself.

I was thinking she might actually be Artemisia, though I have almost no context for such an obscure reference (other than the fact that she's a female captain).
