A lot of people are dismissing her as being "useless", so I'd like to offer a dissenting opinion on that.

Rather than 'useless', Yggdrasil is a card that is too powerful for the current meta. What I mean by this is - most current events are relatively easy that having an additional proc card - even something as strong as full rez - becomes more of a detriment than it helps. If you can build a team that is very reliable, then you don't need her at all; however, Yggdrasil is an excellent crutch card. The moment that you can't build a reliable team to counter whatever new meta-busting idea that MyNet comes up with, she is suddenly worth her weight in gold.

This is going to apply for a lot of players and the Bounty Hunt events, for instance. If you're relying on the old buffer+turnskipper+3 unleashers combo for Bounty Hunt, she could probably be really useful. In addition, a team like this one, modified from Jhaal's team to use recently acquirable cards:


 * Monkey
 * Letta
 * Letta
 * Yggdrasil
 * Insert ST Unleasher Here

Is highly reliable in Bounty Hunt despite having only one unleasher - moreso than using a turn skipper since Yggdrasil can actually fix problems afterwords while turn skippers merely delays them (and Ygg comes with a free null for field, to boot). If you couldn't get first turn TS proc - since Letta's passive heal only procs on your turn - and get a vital card knocked out with FAW Hiraga's turn skips, a turn skipper might be screwed. A yggdrasil team just hits reset and everything goes right back to normal.

I don't think Yggdrasil is bad, thusly. Just unnecessary when events are still easy (and the level 500 FAW going from challenge to loot pinata over 8 events). If the Meta changes and a newer player could no longer build a conventional "good team" to counter it, Yggdrasil and her rez could very well be the most important card for that player.
