Step down serra angel for the new rookie. The most powerful feared white creature ever. Should have been a legend. A focal point that shifts superiority to white. Five stars.

wizards, if you want an outstanding angel that is not completely broken like this then i suggest:
5cmc
4/5
Flying, Haste, Viligance
that would be a GREAT card even an EXCELENT card and not riducolous like this, you could make that a rare, what makes this so broken is mostly the lifelink and first strike.

even if it is a creature (and therefore easily removed) good lord. i liked the idea that to get first strike AND lifelink on a creature it required enchantments and the 2 4 1 risk. give this thing a combat trick or deathtouch with basilisk collar....gross.
it's not that it's so powerful, it's that it's a 5 drop. If the Serra Angel is a 5 drop, then this should at least be wwwww, preferrably 4www or 5www, but there isn't evena drawback. It's like Wizards said 'hmm...you know what would be funny? If a card could just win even if you couldn't possibly win before it was played...like if you were down by 30 life or had zero board control".
I think it changed the metagame and it certainly changed the monetary factor of building a good competitive deck....oh, wait.....yeah, that was the point...it's about the money.

I just pulled one of these from a pack last night and was very happy. This is definitely an excellent card. I rate it a 4.5, but I also don't see why this card is demanding such a high price. It's not a game breaker and it's not exactly hard to get rid of. It's just an excellent creature and nothing more. I also don't think it's necessarily better than a Serra Angel. It's very situational and vigilance is such a great ability to have, especially in multi-player games. In any case, I won't complain at all about such a great card.

This card is appalling I mean it takes 4 turns to win a game for 5 mana, there are plenty of cards that win the game quicker than that for 5 mana I mean Door to Nothingness wins the game the turn after and only costs 5mana.

So this is what this great game has come to? This card's design is as subtle and clever as a mad ogre banging its head against a rock.
