Just this morning opened an Olivia Mobilized for War from a prize pack!! Probably my number 1 chase card, so much so that I didn't ever think i would get her. Time to retrofit some decks!

    Congrats. I also got her very late and understand the excitement and rush. Also, Is it just me that when I get a new mythic its the first card in the booster most of the time ?

    As for nerfing her, I think it would be okay if she applied the buff to only non-token creatures.

    I bought her and have pulled her three times since. I don't think she needs a nerf, she's expensive and she eats up your hand. Also she's easily taken out.

    If Olivia was 11/11 haste, flying, lifelink; people would still play her.

    She is the main reason I won't play Black/Red trials.

    but... if you stopped her effects triggering when tokens come into play that would solve a large part of the issue,

    to be fair I don't own her if I did I'd abuse the **** outta her.

    I dunno, Olivia on her own isn't nearly as scary as she used to be. The are so many ways to deal with single non-hexproof creatures now, and she can also wreck your hand. A lot of times the only damage she does is the initial - 11 when she hits the board. Decimator is much scarier, still.

    Olivia is a great card, but should never cause you to just lose a game.  I mean come on.  GR is harder to counter.

    She does lead to some great combo, especially with stuff like Deploy the Gatewatch.

    But back to the topic at hand "CONGRATULATIONS @mrixl2520! She is tons of fun!

    I agree with this.

    Olivia is fun, I was lucky enough to open her early on during Innistrad.
    My favourite combo with her was in my Arlinn deck (or Samut now).
    Olivia + Zendikar Resurgent + Devil's Playground.
