Has her uses. Kinda odd for a blue-skined creature to be classed as a human. Couldn't WotC have found a way to justify her as a Vedalken? Or something else that gets blue skin? Thalakos, maybe, no-one knows what happened to them after they left Rath.

@A3Kitsune:
She is a wizard, maybe the blue pigment is just an illusion to confuse you.

I'm sure there are other birds worth returning to your hand, but Sage Owl would be my first choice to cast again.

The reason for her odd appearance is that in the storyline at the time, the Mirari was leaking large amounts of mana into the surrounding area, warping the inhabitants into twisted forms. Wizards became semi-ethereal beings, with crystalline "flesh" keeping the viscous energy composing their body contained. Often this is noted by the creature having the type Mutant, but not always.

I suppose that's also why Scornful Egotist was classed as a Human, then?

This card with a ton of birds (which are cheap to play) and Sage's Row Denizen. drop a bird, return a bird, opponent loses library.

other than giving you something to look at, which liliana of the veil does pretty good, she's not really useful.

Well her costume is absurd.

However: bouncing your birds in a way that cannot be countered or responded to at all would be of great use in the uncommon but perennial bird tribal deck. Great protection.
