Yeah true that. But I like the fact that it is possible. Also in other kind of decks like monsters/dragons it can do really well.

Atarka's Command is actually horrible in R/G Monsters and Dragons. For the most part we don't care if our opponent gains life because our creatures are big enough that unless you are using the ultimate of Ajani, Mentor of Heroes we can easily deal that damage again. The inability of the 3 damage to hit a creature makes it a lot less useful, unlike Draconic Roar that can do both or Crater's Claws which can deal upwards of 10 damage. Dropping an extra land in G/R monsters leads to the same problem of missing land drops and we don't need it because we run a ton of ramp like Elvish Mystic, Sylvan Caryatid, and Rattleclaw Mystic. Finally, +1/+1 and Reach is severely lacking because we only have a couple creatures attacking every turn, most of which already huge and have flying or reach like Stormbreath Dragon and Arbor Colossus, and if R/G Monster decks want a combat trick (which they usually don't) then Temur Battle Rage makes your cards hit like a truck and run over chump blockers

Why not? She is great! She is quite ez to transform. And has 4/5 loyalty when she is transformed. Also her 1 is great or a lot of burn decks. Also the -2 can help a lot. And if she can make it to her ult it will make a huge ticking clock.

The turn she transforms she does 5 damage at least! Together with Subterranean Scout for example its really ez. Once she is a walker she does really constant damage. 2 free damage per turn is good!
