Strategy
Natalie Seline is an effective removal tool who is capable of destroying a large enemy minion and putting a sizable threat into play. Destroying a minion with at least 4 health is enough for her to be worth the mana cost, putting an 8/5 on the board while clearing a minion. Anything larger, and Natalie Seline is a very efficient play. Unlike most single-target removal, Natalie is very expensive and will take most of your turn to play. This makes her ideal at dealing with a single large minion over a few medium minions. She can however be played on the same turn as Shadow Word: Pain or Shadow Word: Death with 10 mana, making a significant tempo swing.

Natalie Seline can be useful for control decks as a removal specifically aimed at other control decks. Her restrictive cost makes her poor at dealing with aggro decks, and she may come in too late against some midrange decks.

If you have Natalie, at least 8 mana, and a cheaper form of hard removal in your hand, you should prioritize playing Natalie. Her higher cost makes her harder to flexibly use. Even if it's not the highest-health target on the board, Natalie still provides a decent body and destruction. One exception would be if you know your opponent has an important 4-Attack minion in their deck, since, unlike the Shadow Words, she can destroy 4 Attack minions.

Earth Shock or a Magehunter will instantly destroy Natalie. Earth Shock can be generated by Zephrys the Great on demand if played against her.
