Yeah, she seems busted alright. She is absolutely insane in edh, and shuts down more then a few commanders...
I am just not getting it. How many times are people casting things for free? Which Commanders does she shut down? The main one I can think of is Animar when he makes the creature spells cost 0.
Basically, it makes it so Sol Ring and rocks can't ramp early if she comes down, but once they have enough lands, they just cast 2 or more spells with that mana instead of casting one big spell. I see others saying she is good and maybe it is just the meta I play in, but I can't see her really being all the relevant in most games to the point where she is a game changer.
Think Cascade, Jeleva, Rashmi etc.
Fair enough, but it still seems narrow. Unless your meta has a lot of that kind of stuff, it doesn't seem great. At the very least "insane" might be a bit over the top. But, if your meta is "infested" with things like that and they have a hard time removing a 2/2 she can be alright, I just don't see her being any more than a mild hindrance against those types of decks.
Obviously this is very dependent on the meta though so I am sure there are people who will get a lot of mileage out of her. And I am open to the idea that I am undervaluing her so I will certainly evaluate my games to determine if there is any time I feel she can be useful to see if she can earn a spot in any of my decks
Well, you also have to remember that ArtificialRamp doesn’t do you any good, and I think that’s her biggest “hate” aspect. Also, delve, free spells(Suspend, Cascade, etc.). Break symmetry on cards like Helm of Awakening.
There are quite a few decks that she already “hoses”, regardless of powerlevel, but then there are ways you can force most decks into being hosed.
My biggest takeaway, she’s unique, not quite as restrictive as Gaddock Teeg, which is for the better IMO, but still pretty fun.

Shouldn't affect Animar. 0 casting cost is still paying the casting cost (which is 0). Narset is a big one that it would affect or anything that lets you "cast a spell without paying its mana cost".
I've seen a lot of people thinking this, so here's a link to Nix, which shows the ruling on this exact effect.
Just got my promos in the mail, I have to say that the images don't do them justice.
The Mortify and Light Up the Stage are straight-up gorgeous, but the Growth Spiral promo might be the most beautiful Magic card I have ever seen. It is magnificent to behold.
But not as good though
Once they hit 5 lands then they can cast stuff gaddock prevents
But it will stop mindseize and Karen like cards but Not the eldrazis though especially since either ulamog can remove her
