This is a pretty exciting card. A great finisher. Reminds me a bit of Angel of Despair.
Also: note that the creatures return to their owner's hand. Even if she eats removal, you still bounced some of their dudes and/or returned some of the creature cards in your graveyard to your hand.
Whta makes this card good is its TURBO tempo. Its three fiend hutners. Except, the cards go back to their owners hands, not the field. So let's say you drop this turn seven to send backl...uh......I dont know what is played in standard....G-bizzzle. theyll have to recast it. its not like you lose value if it gets bounced.

I fear I won't have much time to play Magic these days.
I get to watch worlds develop around me.
I get to watch great leaders, terrible oppressors, and trend setters rise and fall.
Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?
What's so bad about it? It's a 5/6 flier just like the new sphinx. And it exiles three dudes at the cost of one more W... I like it.
Costs 7 in a meta full of fast aggro, then it puts the creatures into their owners hands when it dies. Something you or your opponent can't abuse. Maybe if it said "nonland permanent."
this seems very very bad. Like bad for Commander bad.
Damn it Ken Nagle...this is why i dont like his Design lead. Makes some awesome cards dont get me wrong. But he wastes SOOOO many Mythic Slots with unplayable Timmy gigantic monsters.
*Sigh* at least the rest of the set rocks. Props for that Ken
People not seeing the power of this are frankly stupid. It's not removal in a stick, it's a finisher that brings back your spent bullets to your hand so if they deal with it, they'll have to deal with your second breath.

Yes sir, I take fantasy art and character design commissions, PM me for rates.

Yeah, she's insane.
If I'm reading it right, you can exile 3 of their guys and get 3 of your own back on the same trigger?
I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.

Or clears your opponent's biggest creatures ahead of an alpha strike. Or clears re-animation targets out of their graveyard.
Also, yet another card Deadeye Navigator loves. Blink it, stack the triggers so you can blink it again before its ETB resolves, wipe three creatures from battlefield OR graveyard permanently. THEN exile three more, either opponents or your own, and go from there.
At first I was trying to evaluate this card as a replacement for Elesh Norn in reanimator and I was like... meh. But then once I started considering her as a finisher for a white control deck... holy smokes! I think the reason she's unexciting as a reanimator target is that she's only going to bounce a few creatures back to the opponents hand, unlike Norn who kills X/2's and doesn't allow your opponent to play anything with less than 3 toughness. But in a control shell, she either gets answered right away giving you some great card advantage or she just kills your opponent with her huge flying body!

Nah, it's just a shortened wording, you only get 3 targets total. If it were that way, it'd say Exile up to three target creatures and/or exile 3 target creature cards...

You're right.
Went back and read it again and it makes more sense.
I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.
So, shall we think of some fun Flavortext for this card?

Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?

No. You choose 3 other creatures to exile. That could be 2 of your opponent and one of yours in grave yard, etc. Whatever combination of 3 you think works best for you.
She could see play depending on the speed of the format. Though if you are shooting for 7 mana, you have Avacyn right behind at 8....who is probably better as a finisher.
We'll have to see what kind of exiling removal we'll get, and what kind of ramp options. Still - I don't see myself playing her over Avacyn.
Also: note that the creatures return to their owner's hand. Even if she eats removal, you still bounced some of their dudes and/or returned some of the creature cards in your graveyard to your hand.
