Legendary Creature- Human Warrior
Whenever a non-Human creature you control attacks, look at the top six cards of your library. You may put a Human creature card from among them onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. It gains indestructible until end of turn. Put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.
4/4
If you can balance Humans and non-Humans, this will be backbreaking. Sure, it's another legend for Boros-Combat.dec, but it's a different approach to it.
This seems worse than Munda, Ambush Leader. Like it’s a flavor win for sure but This is pretty disappointing. Especially for a mythic. Hopefully the Simic member of the cycle will cleanse this from the palate.
Okay I forgot that Munda puts them on top of your deck. She’s not worse than him but it’s still pretty lame.
Oh cool she was referenced in the planeswalker guide, she lost the arm to the monster she would someday bond too.
After Zirda I don't mind Winota being combat focus and does at least as you said have that balance of humans and non-humans.

Hmm, ok. It's too bad the human/non-human weren't flipped, as I imagine it would be much better to cheat out a large dragon or beast for attacking with a little token. Still, getting just one successful attack with this ability is quite strong, and it's on a 4/4 for 2RW which is fine on its own.
i like the art, and i think it has potential in a place like brawl or standard, but in true edh i think the balance will be far too difficult to achieve.... right now.
i do like that direction for a r/w commander, its still just going into the red zone, but it does encourage some deck diversity and does help a color pair that lacks appropriate ramp and draw tools get a little further ahead
She reminds me of Depala, Pilot Exemplar. While Depala is much safer and provides card advantage, Winota saying "a non-Human" instead of "one or more non-Humans" can easily snowball into insanity. Attacking with, say, the two tokens from Pia and Kiran Nalaar can dig twelve cards deep... And maybe one of them is an Evangel of Heliod or a Lena, Selfless Champion. Needless to say, things get NASTY.
Sure, there is a chance of spending $4 on a booster and getting the Mythic Rare $30 super card. There is also a chance of surviving putting your tongue in a light socket.

Yeah, I think the key to this card in commander will be finding humans that generate non-human tokens, of which there are a lot. It's an interesting sideways human tribal, and looks like it could be fun and powerful. The fact that the humans that ETB are indestructible and attacking is a nice way to add to the aggression, without screwing you over because your Pia and Kiran Nalaar ran into a 3/3.

Given that Agent of Treachery is among the best reanimation targets in Standard, it might not be that bad :).
Triggers for every attacking non-Human, and the creatures go directly on to the battlefield and are NOT sacrificed at end of turn or go back to the hand.
I think this is pretty nuts and worthy of a Mythic.
It is funny that I think a lot of the time she will be triggering off creature tokens that show humans on them but don't actually have the creature type.
I mean, if RW is going to get another combat-driven commander, at least it does something potentially quite powerful. She can really cause a blowout with the right setup. Even if it's not tuned to fetch your bombs, she'll always be growing your board as long as you have something to swing with.

Not only they are not sacrificed, they can't even be killed in combat. All the Splicers from New Phyrexia work great here.

Ok, sir, you've just hit the Jackpot of how to use this card...
use her in a deck with plenty of human creatures that make non human tokens and you're game.
more often than not, you'll drop her on turn 4, attack with 3 tokens and drop 3 more dudes....
this cards is sure scary.
Thats kinda of bad i would say, but yeah having humans in your deck that makes non human tokens could work.
it's not bad at all....
I mean... if you survive/kill/drop something on T1 and 2, then T3 Lingering Souls into T4 this guy, then attack with the spirit tokens, you'll plow through 12 cards in your deck to find 2 more creatures that will enter the battlefield attacking "for free"
it's also kinda crazy bananas with the likes of Young Pyromancer
dunno if it's enough to make ripples in Modern or something, but certainly powerful, just looking for the correct shell to shine.
it's just too much card advantage if you drop him and attack with 3 tokens in the same turn in a deck that has, 1 human each 6 cards....
thinking about it some more, i do really like this as a commander...
the splicers work well and have been mentioned, thopters from pia and kiran work well that got mentioned too, goblins seem like they could go completely out of control here if the deck is built right, beetleback chief, siege gang commander, krenko (both of them) basically anything that brings tokens for cheap can just barf things into play... i think the real problem that comes up is are there any humans actually worth dumping into play? like right now are there many humans that actually push you ahead in any way? most of them just seem to be little beaters rather than emrakul type things. theoretically you could find combo pieces really easily

or you could tutor up the other pieces with stuff like recruiter of the guard and imperial recruiter

granted i'm thinking about it from an edh slant
She has no keywords, no other abilities, requires her to go into the red zone, and costs 2 more...
Simic one ramps you when you need it (early game) and doesnt need to go into the red zone...
