A mono-color anthem on a legendary body, from an era when the lord effect was still being worked out one tribe and one color at a time. The design lesson here is how broad the static buff is: it does not care about creature type, only that the creature is green and that you control it, which makes the bonus apply to nearly your whole board in a green deck rather than carving out a single subtheme. That breadth is also the catch. A 2/3 for five mana that pumps everything green is paying full legendary-creature price for an effect later printings would hand out cheaper and more narrowly, and the body itself only barely benefits from its own anthem. As a green-stompy centerpiece, the math compounds: the more green creatures already in play when she lands, the better the rate looks, and the worse it gets if the board is empty. She represents the old school of static anthem design, before designers learned that lords work best when they are cheap enough to deploy early and narrow enough to reward building around them. What you get instead is a flat, color-wide buff with no upkeep, no condition, and no off switch except removal, which is its own kind of honesty.
