Ah, Visara... She's like a role model for black legendary creatures. An all-time favorite of mine. 5/5.

'Visara is an absolute statement and appeals to all kinds of players.'
Indeed. It flies and has raw power for Timmy. Johnny can don a Pemmin's Aura and put your opponent's creatures through hell the following turn. Even Spikes use this - this was featured in a World Championship Reanimator deck at the Worlds in 2003, by Peer Kroger.

Visara is so great, it's a pity that she wasn't reprinted in 10th edition

What a terrible creature. If it was any worse, it would probably erase itself from the face of the earth from embarrassment after going on a violent killing spree (nasty gorgon eyes do tend to have that effect.) If this card is ever reprinted not only will I quit playing magic but I will also create my own card game called I hate Visara the Dreadful filled with different ways to kill this card. Taking that into consideration, I would not recommend reprinting this card unless you want a horde of angry moocows knocking on your doorstep.

Just about my favorite card, or creature at least. Excellent black bomb.

This card has to be one of the best cards I've ever seen! I think this is one of the most unique cards ever printed, and one of the most powerful black cards. I love it. Strikes fear into any enemy.
Who is not giving this 5? A flying 5/5 with tap terror for 6 mana! This is simply awesome!

So satisfying to see a first turn concession with a dark ritual entomb, and exhume.

@VoidedNote: I'm right there with ya. Visara is the star (and, of course, the general) of my mono-black EDH deck. I love giving this pretty little lady a Thornbite Staff and letting her just go to town.
Terrifying to stare down... but oh so fun to command! MWAHAHAHA!!!

THE creature from our earliest playgroup in 2002 and 2003. Slivos, Rogue Elemental also saw play with us, along with Dragon Tyrant, andGreel, Mind Raker, but nothing like those spelled doom like Visera did

I'm kinda glad that Wizards haven't reprinted Visara... I like the old black card frame, and I honestly think it suits her better than the new card frame would.

I'm so conflicted, a buddy of mine asked me to help with a Clash of the Titans (the Greek story, not the movies) deck. I need a Gorgon, this is by far the best, but Infernal Medusa actually has the word Medusa in it...

She's a 5/5 with flying, already not bad, but she has "tap: terminate." that seems a bit AMAZING

my most formidable opponent has a deck based on killing everything his opponent controls. terminate, this kiku nights shadow, dread, royal assassin. it's a real pain in the ass. it used to be monoblack but after he played against me, also a mono black player and his doomblades and terrors we're rendered useless he changed to redblack and started casting terminate.

0nly 4-stars, not 5.
'tap: kill' seems...overpowered? but as a Vorthos, hey its a GORGON. i can deal with that. sorta reminds me of the 'roll a d20 to not die' feel of oldschool DnD.
but--why in the WHY IN THE HECK?! does she have flying???....seems like just so she can be the best darn black legend there ever was. and, being a Vorthos, power for the sake of power aint cool. its supposed to make sense.
i dislike the random flying on this way more than the tap: terminate.
EDIT: she's got wings, I see. oops, lol. And now that I recall, Medusa and her sisters in the Perseus COULD in fact fly, because they chased Pegasus for a bit as Perseus was making his getaway. Never mind the complaint. Changing rating from 4.0 -> to 5.0 stars. Visara is just awesome.
Also in From the Vault: Legends! And she's not even from Alara Block! Yay!

Great hoser, but fair warning: if you fail to complement her eyes when you cast her, she targets herself with her ability and pouts in your graveyard.

The standard that a legendary creature should be, nicely priced mana cost with a good ability and evasion to boot
If shes out on the field and you don't stop her, shes going to make ALL your creatures look at her eyes

Someone has to bring you guys the truth about the secret meaning behind her name. I am from Greece. In Greek "visara" means "big boob". Seriously.
Where to start, where to start... This cycle blows my mind. Visara, apart from being one of the best black creatures ever printed, can singlehandedly tear apart an opponents defense, especially when you cheat her out. One of the few creatures that flat out deserves a 5/5

An icon amongst my playgroup. If she's put into play, everyone has a reaction to it. Be it disappointment, despair, enthusiasm, anger, lust (omg lol?), everyone knows what this card's presence brings to the table.

They should have reprinted this entire cycle in the vault.
I'm rather fed up with the widespread complaint that big creatures shouldn't have tap abilities, as you would have to decide whether to use the ability or attack.
Six mana for a 5/5 flyer is solid. A creature like that can easily win you the game if left unchecked. Now, if you throw on the ability to instantly wipe out any creature, regeneration need not apply, simply by turning sideways... I'm not going to complain. You would have to pretty spoiled to feel Visara isn't good enough at swinging a creature war. I can easily decide when one option will outweigh the other. Sitting back as a fierce blocking presence and nuking the nastiest target every turn will swing the order of things quickly, and now you've got a 5/5 flyer to smash face.
Besides, having to choose results in more interesting cards. Simply attacking every turn, knowing that's all you need to do, is less exciting and thought-provoking. I like a bit of strategy in my gaming, thank you.
Furthermore: huge bosoms.
