2UR planeswalker with 4 starting loyalty and +1: make a 1/1 artifact servo, sign me up. This is at least a top 4 Izzet card in my book. Casting her on turn 3 off a mana rock allows you to cast a 6 drop on turn 4, which blue and red have plenty of. Will be cubing at 540 for sure.
Holy crap yes. I love the artifact.dec, and she's going to be busted in that shell. And even in non-artifact centric decks, her middle {+} ability will probably "tap" for 2 or more pretty reliably.
It does kind of bug me that the artifact deck is getting closer and closer to brown superfriends, but this is sweet.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

Card seems very good.
High loyalty, good ultimate, excellent artifact token to protect itself, explosive ramp in the right deck.
Ral zarek May be getting the boot for me. They serve somewhat similar functions (make a lot of mana in artifact deck + board prescence) but saheeli seems better.
Don’t think I want 3 izzet planes walkers.
She has a lot of synergies in the artifact deck obviously, and goes well with Opposition/Purphoros. I am skeptical about how generically playable she is without those synergies, so being in a shallow guild helps her a lot.
She'll only be available as the base foil she comes as in the box, yes. Don't know about the quality until we see one that's out of the package, but there won't be a non-foil available.
Getting this right after the new tezzeret is really nice, I'm excited for this grindy thopter walker business. Both feuling each other, setting up tezzeret as a draw engine and adding butt tons of mana seems like a very strong, natural duo.
Makes me want to add pia nalaar, but i don't have much experience with her.
I'm surprised and happy to hear about Pia's success. I always have to resist making my entire red section just daretti & friends.
This card is sweet and I'm playing it. Too many planeswalkers but when they make artifacts I just don't care. At 420, I'm cutting Dack's Duplicate when he just got back in and keeping Izzet Charm and Dack Fayden.
This seems like a good inclusion for 450+ where you have more room for artifacts. I'd include it if I wasn't at 360.
As many others have said, sooner or later all the best cards of each guild color will be planeswalkers, and we'll have to chose to either run the best cards available, or simply choose to cut back on planewalkers.
Is she only going to come in a warped and poorly foiled version that’s hard to read because it’s too dark and kinda blurry? Hard pass if so... :-(
So I took a flyer on this card due to its under $5 price tag, and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by the foiling. I was so down on it when it spoiled because I thought it was gonna be hella warped and very dark like my Vial Smasher, but it is beautiful, easy to read, and my copy is perfectly flat!
How have people liked this card so far? Does it see any play in non-artifact archetypes?
Saheeli has been strong in my experience, her cost reduction ability can lead to some dumb early sequences. She kind of feels like Daretti 2.0 where she just needs a few artifacts in the maindeck to make her worth the price of admission.
She's great, and is different enough from Dak that I don't mind having them both. Dak is still better, so if you only want one, keep Dak, but I think they are easily the 1 and 2 cards in Izzet.
My cube is 465 unpowered but supports an artifact deck.
Yes this card is certainly great. We keep saying to other cube managers that don't run it that they are crazy not to. An absolute most have in power cubes that have a guild section with at least 4 spots. But personnally, I do agree it's in fact top 3 material.

I like Ral Zarek too much to cut him at 720, but I'm thrilled to finally show Prophetic Bolt the door.

Given that I have 3 good-but-replaceable cards in my Izzet section, though, I will likely test her alongside Dack.

This Saheeli is yet another reason to test Retrofitter Foundry

This is still the best place for high-power-level cube chat & debate.
