Once you realize that you need specific key cards from a single set in order to take full advantage of the planeswalker, you just end up shelving them. I tried Dovin Baan. I started using cards that built around energize. As I continued to play, I would end up finding some weakness then replacing a card with something more useful. In the end, I just end up getting rid of energize cards and focusing on building a Blue/White deck. I mean, I would love to build around their "specialties", but unless it can survive a top tier Kiora, Sorin, Koth, etc. deck it just becomes plain ****. And I would never bring something unreliable to an event.

I don't have Dovin but I think the issue is, assuming all overload effects work the same, is that overload 1 only triggers once when energized gems are matched. Otherwise he would be top tier since you would be able to energize the whole field in a turn or two.

Saheeli is still widely used and not the instant flop the last such thread insisted she would be. And since bken1234 is leading the charge for banning players who she discovers buys the card, please don't rush to review it when it hits the stores as that's a dead giveaway.

She's not tailored for QB, like Koth or Nahiri... She doesn't tear up the Holiday Showdown like Kiora... and she's not ideal for any of those new secondary objectives we've been getting like Ob Nixilis... Plus she's a limited release, what % of players in the game even own her? You're not in a coalition, are you? Where are you getting this from?

Also per your comment about me -- good thing I don't exclusively make decisions for my team -- but they all pretty much agree -- C2 is **** -- though most of us think not much is worth spending money on these days.

I think even you can see the difference between thinking c2 is not worth the purchase, and actively pursuing support to kick players who dare to purchase her against your recommendation.
