I believe that most people feel that she is over priced or that there are better choices to be made for the stone cost and I would disagree. I have used her in quite a few games actually and I found that in combat she does okay. By far she is not a power house like Bad Ju Ju, andshe lacks the speed of a slurid, however I found that she shines in two different ways. The first is a no brainer swamp fiend Gupp generator for Bad Ju Ju to use for re-spawning and additional activation's. The second is that she has the ability to place scheme markers while laying eggs and making your opponent think twice about killing her especially turn two or later if you haven't hatched any eggs yet. These two abilities fill a role nicely in a swamp fiend heavy list.
