Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
I hate Universes Beyond but since it is here to stay I can at least try to pick the less egregious additions to play with.

Seriously, what happened during play testing to add some many hurdles to this card? Remove any of those restrictions and she becomes at the very least borderline playable. Right now, she sadly remains stuck in the bulk bin.

So, in the end what is the use case for this rare? A 3 mana Ambush Viper with menace replacing deathtouch is a tough sell. I guess you can use her in the SB against some sort of aristocrat deck but is targeted GY hate and ramp even relevant in that scenario?

It also means you can’t use it as GY hate against decks like reanimator or dredge because creatures end in the GY through milling/discarding not from the battlefield.

So you cannot use this in a Death’s Shadow/Phyrexian Dreadnougth deck as a pseudo ritual in case those cards end in the graveyard because it only targets your opponent’s graveyard (that would not even be that great considering the massive card disadvantage)

The most disheartening thing is that they give you a sheet of paper saying “don’t call us, we can’t provide info about application status under any circumstance” but there is also no way to check the status online either.
You just have to hope that it is still somehow being processed.
