If you aren't already dead by then, their board might be too big for you to keep it running. If it costed like 7 mana less, then maybe. Otherwise, it looks average.

You can force discard it with corrupt and then return it with Dark Petition (9 mana - Return the last destroyed creature to the battlefield) or Necrotic Summons (6 mana - Return the last creature you and your opponent had that was destroyed to the battlefield) and of course her 3rd skill Raise Dead. This obviously means a bit of foresight and consideration when using Necrotic Summons, but between these 3 abilities, keeping it on the board isn't really an issue.
