I've decided that I will play standard if this card becomes playable and I've never cared enough about standard to bother with it, but i remember when this came out and was the coolest card ever when it first came out and i think it really still is
mehhhhhh. The problem with creatures that you invest a bunch of mana into with NO useful effect other than attacking, is they get removed and you get no benefit out of them. it has to be used with cloudshift or it will just die if you are playing against a good player with a good deck. If you really want to be a Timmy, play her. but make sure you use mimic vat, cloudshift, and a buttload of ramp.

We already know Fling and Warstorm Surge won't work. They (well Pandamonium and Fling) had their chance in Tempest/Urza standard with Serra Avatar. Six and 7 mana cards are just a little too much for instant win combos unless you cheat them into play.
I guess I might put in one of her in my Venser control. Why not. So yeah, while scars is standard, she might see play because of the powerful control stuff in scars and m12

I really don't see this card being played at all. A while ago, sure. But when Griselbrand isn't even really seeing much play, this card definitely wont.

EDH junk its insane. Well even in EDH its not really that big. its POTENTIAL insanity. but no evasion sucks. IT dies to doom blade, go for the throat, murder, bone splinters just to name some spot removal in standard.
If I pull one Its going into my EDH deck but Its not worth it to try and cheat her into play. Its like Blighsteel collosus. Its a great card on the field when there isn't an answer....but it gets chumped for days and is hard to cast. and hate to keep saying removal but yeah.
IIRC, Serra Avatar only saw play because of Sneak Attack and fast mana (Dark Ritual etc), and even then it was kinda janky. I don't think it will see serious play in today's meta.
For those who like making casual theme decks, might I call to your attention that "Serra" is "saw" (the toothed, wood-cutting kind) in Latin. She could star in some strange construction-themed concoction.
Plus, would be downright silly with Warstorm Surge (since we are on the topic of unplayable 6cmc cards that compliment Serra Avatar)

She's actually pretty terrible by today's standard.
7 mana for a creature that relies on your life total with zero evasion?
Ya. Not gonna happen.
This is one of those cards where the old art and card frame did it much more justice in terms of looking epic.
Now it's just sort of a junk mythic.
