Tom got great use out of this card a couple years back in his Gencon deck but that was back when ramping was a lot easier (the heyday of Nug, etc...). After the errata/restrictions from that time it's harder to get a 4-domain quickly. Still a decent card, but not as strong as it once was.
I picked this for Card of the Day because I started visualizing an opening turn of two Priestesses of Bubastis, the Mother's Hand and another 2-cost character, but that's a really specific set of cards to get right off the jump.
One of my opponents likes to pack this one x3 in his Shub decks, and it seems like half the time he gets to play two of them in a single operations phase, refreshing the 4-domain each time, and effectively getting 3 drains (whatever his third use of the domain might be) for 1!
I hate it when that happens.
I liked her quite a bit until the Plague Stone was released... now, I don't consider her as useful as e.g. Hungry Dark Young.
