I actually have a Bird Soldier deck and of course she's in it. Her+Mobilization+infinite ways to power up Soldiers=a double-u. Until pretty much any kill spell comes flying at her bird face, of course. I think the designers should've given her something a little extra if they were going to make these abilities legendary. There are much more formidable white nonlegendaries for around that converted cost.

I love the reaction of new opponents when they see "protection from creatures". I very rarely lose games when Eesha comes on the field.

Unless your opponent comes up with big flyers or heavy tramplers, i'd preferably use Beloved Chaplain for chump-blocking.
But this is a great card nontheless, a 2/4 flying four-drop that can both act as invincible blocker or Phantom Warrior which is protected from further abilities of creatures while even having a useful tribal type sounds appealing. Combines nicely with Captain of the Watch or Mobilization for instance.

Actualy if you just put something like Diplomatic Immunity on this card and it could be very evil. Just Imagin it creature that has protection from creatures and can't be touched by spells or abilities.

how does this work with Pariah's Shield does that make you have protection from creatures or does the damage transfer as though Eesha didn't have protection

@Gezus82: The damage would go onto Commander Eesha and then be prevented, if the source of the damage was a creature. Any other source would just zap the bird legend.

I remember getting this card in a booster and being bummed because I hate W. Now, looking back, I wish I had used him more than I did. 4/5

Favorite EDH general.
Enchanted with Entangler, she's unbeatable. Just load her up with some equipment and vigilance (Serra's Blessing, Serra's Embrace) or psuedo-vigilance, (reveille squad), and you can easily win with the 21 commander-damage rule.

I had 3 of this guy in my first ever deck, a U/B/W deck where every creature had flying. This guy used to upset my friends a lot, considering we were all around 12 years old and didn't know what removal was.
@Gezus82 "Protection" means that Eesha cannot take damage from creatures, but when Pariah's Shield redirects the damage, the rules do not remember where the damage came from.
If Pariah's Shield said "If a creature would deal damage to you, it deals that much damage to equipped creature instead", Eesha would be immune to the damage, because the source would be preserved.
