Fauna Shaman is a very awesome card, but I would like to see a legendary version of it, so that it could be used as a general in an EDH deck, so I started to design such a creature, but I then decided to give it additional abilities, so it was not too limited in its scope, and this is the result of my efforts.

As I said, I designed this card specifically for EDH, so I gave her two very useful abilities, to ensure that they are always accessible to her owner. I felt that discarding a creature card without ever using it was too strict of a cost for activating her abilities, so I instead chose to have sacrificing existing creatures as the cost for her abilities, but increased the mana cost of the abilities to compensate for that; this way, she can use creature tokens as fodder for her abilities, but I did not give her a method for generating tokens on her own, as I knew that that would make her too powerful. I also contemplated having both of her abilities put the creature cards directly onto the battlefield, but that would have been too powerful, in my mind.
I made Ravenna both an elf and a zombie, because both of those creature types have great amounts of support. I also am considering giving her deathtouch, simply as a bonus ability. What does everyone else say about this card? How good of a card is it?

dbpunk, that sounds good to me; could I make her a 2/3, or should I leave her as a 2/2?

I think itd be fine as a 2/4 even. Toughness isn't as much of an issue if it has deathtouch and those abilities.

You say she was built for EDH. Why then is she trying to eliminate the 100-card singleton aspect of the format?

Just a heads up, you said she was made for commander but she isn’t Legendary.

Teferi-3030, thank you for mentioning that; I shall fix that mistake, now.

Here is her newest incarnation.

Honestly I would raise her cost by and give her deathtouch. Those are pretty powerful abilities with somewhat cheaper to have on a two drop for 2 Mana.
