When I first built her, I thought she triggered on combat damage, because I couldn't see Wizards making something so monumentally busted as free spells triggered on attack in the modern era.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Rith, the Awakener The other deck where I use it. The lifegain isn't much, but it's there.
Uril, the Miststalker It's an enchantment that grants double strike. That's the only reason I considered it.
Ghave, Guru of Spores I tried it in a lot of token decks. It's just not that good when your creatures dying often can be a game-winner.
Narset, Enlightened Master The "logic" here was "I get to draw eight cards each attack step." Then I realized Fireshrieker and Grappling Hook did the same thing without that WWW weight, which ain't cheap in Jeskai (or Mardu, or Esper).

On phasing:
Kemba, Kha Regent I ended up using Raksha Golden Cub instead. +2/+2 > lifelink
Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim I use it here. It can actually be a useful as her first activated ability to gain life.
Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer Mostly I don't have room.
Derevi, Master Tactician Okay, I use it here, but be forewarned: It's hard to cast and keep UU open for a counter.
Oloro, Ageless Ascetic Okay, but most of my creatures already have lifelink. The only exceptions are things like Soul's Attendant.

Saskia the Unyielding Never use it in four- or five-color. I always want to make it work. Meh, I might try it in Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa and Silas Renn, Seeker Adept.
