In a typical Commander deck that doesn't build around her, that will likely be: Land - pretty sure Creature - likely Sorcery or Instant - at least one, maybe both Then maybe an artifact, enchantment or planeswalker That means you could easily draw four or five cards in a typical 10 set and choose the best one for the situation, like the best land your reveal
Secondly, its even playable in Modern, where it can do a great job protecting your board before getting in for three in the air
