Great flavour text. The pic is pretty too, and it's not a bad card.

Decent for its cost. Unlike Angelsong, you can let your creatures' damage through.
What I don't get, though, is why they decided to word it as "one or two target creatures" instead of just saying "up to two target creatures".

Very decent effect and CC, and amazing art ;) love Elspeth ♥ AND whats even best you can use it for offensive strategy too!!

@Diachronos: If they worded it "up to two target creatures", choosing no target would be legal. Still is a wierd wording thought, maybe we'll get more information on the reason once they write the rulings.

Not efficient enough as a white card. But I like the fact that it's a prevention card.... not quite common these days (with all the white tap effects.)

Probably it's better than Redeem. It can screw your opponents combat plans pretty badly, and that's good.

One of my favorite cards in the set. I like to keep them in my hand along with Dispense Justice to make huge offensive strikes fizzle. (Then blow all their guys to hell with Sunblast Angel )

Prefer holy day over this in Type I, good stuff in limited as a trick for white nevertheless, this and dispense justice really helped my drafts.

I've found quite a few white decks with room for this guy. Really a great card. I like using it in my Livewire Lash deck. Does crazy combat tricks to kill their blocker while keeping mine, also can deal 2 damage via the lash if I need it, quite fun.
After more play testing this is a FANTASTIC option for Caw Blade Mirrors. It can almost read "you buy a turn". You'll almost always wind up the victor with one of these hitting.

Nice.
Good to see this sort of thing, there hasn't been as much as I'd like in recent sets.
Elspeth is so very, very epic. She scares me.
4/5
Also, Diachronos, it's not "upto" as this way it does need an actual target. "Upto" allows zero targets. Not sure makes any difference, unless you need to build up storm with no/shroud/hexproof creatures in play.
