Oona's pretty great too, though. It's pretty nice to send a big portion of an opponent's library to the moon and make a few fliers every activation. Seriously great card, also makes a cool Commander (especially if an opponent's running a monocolor deck that doesn't have too many colorless spells).
I quite like the reprints; she was running $10+ at some point if I remember right; now she's $3-4, which is just fine as a casual finisher, even the most stingy can look at that and think "Well it's a sweet ass legendary finisher that's iconic; Yes."
She's potential card advantage, a flying finisher, an endless chumper, and a secondary win con. Very awesome to finally have her.

I love how many cards in the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block have Irish names. Though it does kind of bug me that they're all spelled phonetically rather than their original spelling. I guess "Aoibhne, Queen of the Fae" would have been a bit of a pronunciation challenge for a lot of people. Still, it would have been hilarious to see people try.
"I cast... Ah-oh-ee-buh-nuh-" "You mean Oona?" "Whatever! I cast the Queen of the Fae, okay?"
