1. She is almost unkillable to Red and Black decks, when White is made of weenies.

Actually white is one of the strongest colours creature wise. I guess it only loses to green.

2. She is still vulnerable to blue cards, making her still manageable if foes are not ready for her.

Zomg! She is not "instant win regardless of ANY other circumstances" !!!

3. Double white 8 mana cost, of coz in onslaught block that's common but in extended, you're lucky to get even 6.

There are MANY ways of speeding up mana or, depending on how cheap you are, you might even not need to and just put her into play from the graveyard or whatever.
My point is not that "ZOMG! AKROMA IS BROKEN11!!!!!1oneoneone"
The thing is that it is ugly, stupid and lacks style and elegance. It's not like, say, a guy starts playing this weird game, controlling, poking and barely making it through. You just think he has a bad deck when suddenly he puts a Door to Nothingness on the table and you realise he was setting up for that.
That's way better, but, you want to REALLY go stylish, then you gotta take a look at things like Eater of Days, THEN you'll start to understand what's wrong with Akroma.
WRATHIE_Beatrice:
Eater of days is rofl without Stifle, and if u let it resolve successfully, you're doing it wrong.
and pesco: u're right, reanimator decks ftw, pity there is limited choice in OnSlaught block and i'm talking about Onslaught block in general.
White has one of the strongest creatures yes, the chase rares yes...
Green is fat, pure fat but ironic the best is a weenie..
She is instant win in Onslaught block if u dun take care of her asap due to lack of alternatives to kill her easy.
Yea, agree on the mana accel point, 8 mana is not a big stumbling block if you plan ur deck well..
i'm talking casual and casual players normally don't get so far.
Tt said, Stifle was ahead of it's time
Pesco:
Door to nothingness? Eater of days?
I like you.
Edit: Didn't play Onslaught, dunno what you're talking about.
Vile Lasagna:
Stifle = U, instant, Counter target activated or TRIGGERED ability.
It's an awesome counter.
But although it is obviously tempting to stifle an Eater, that's not really the FUN way to do it. When you just throw it on the table and put that smile across your face, accepting that the enemy is going to play bloody three times in a row. You KNOW its a gamble, but you just keep the pressure on, play the mind game, huhuhu..... SO GOOD 8)

Turn 1 double rite of flame then this
