An Idea for Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

So she's a (5):manaw::manaw: ...
well.
that's a bitch...
on the other hand, we do have, already plenty of things to go with her.

the first deck i'll look into making will be her, plus grand architect, plus cheap artifacts (vector asp, memnite, signal pest, etc... etc...) then to run her in a blue / white deck. she'll be a win-con, maybe a 2 - of, but i could run other ones too. it'll make blue / white artifact amazingly useful, as it'll have multip win-cons (tempered steel, her, overrun with weenies, etc... etc..) and i could have her out very early too with a mox and grand architect. :) seeing that when i have 4 or 5 creatures on the field on t4 and you'll just sweep...

other than that, the idea is that they aren't reprinting ajani goldmane, so white weenies will be hit fairly hard, suture priest doesn't exactly seem like it'll be largely viable, but i could see him as a guest in many decks.

pristine talismane? yeah. it mostly looks like a shit card to me... (if someone disagrees, could you explain why? :O)

Well, my only concern seeing her run with the Grand Architect is that it's mana production only counts for artifacts. Of course there are other mana excellerants that can be used for that however.

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite looks more like the drop card for a white weenie deck just to powerhouse for lategame but ofcourse that's my opinion. Either that or in blue/white control XD

yeah, the idea with grand architect was to run her along with tempered steel, memnites, mox opals (obviously), etc, etc, and maybe even like a myr battleshpere or a myrsmith (for the artifacts, not the myr) then run that with venser for venser's -2 (or -1, idk, which is unblockable) so you can ramp up to her, battlesphere, mana for myrs from myrsmith, or to venser, and have unblockables. :)
