A friend of mine showed me another version of this card. One that looked like an overpriced Mana dork but had the audacity to be labeled as Grand Summoner. I was underwhelmed by that card and silently hoping it was a fake.

Then came this card.

This card actually feels like a Summoner now. It will be enhancing the Guardian Force/Summons coming out of the main FF set which are Sagas/Enchantments now. Like this Shiva card. I think they have shown a 3 mana saga , Fenrir that would play really well with this card.

The current Shrine EDH or other Saga decks would consider a slot for her in the 99 as this brings back a powerful or key enchantment back into your side of the battlefield should an opponent find a way to destroy it.

Sure the finality counter would mean that this permanent would be exiled rather than stay in the graveyard where you have another chance to get it but this just increases the challenge and enhances the decision making skills of player on what to prioritize. 

If the enchantment can assure your win wouldn't that be your priority?

I also believed that most of the god centric decks might consider this as well as she does give a lot of advantage with the trample and lifelink she gives. Oh and ward 2. The 4 mana cost of 3 colorless and 1 green assures that she can slot in with most of the decks with a very minimum to green. I don't think that she would be much of an adjustment slotting into the 99 of such decks.

As for me...might be able to use her as a commander for all those sagas I had lying around. Hmmmmm
