Question about this card:
Since I understand that to damage a Planeswalker with a spell, it's technically funneled through the Player, does this prevent one damage to your Planeswalkers via spells as well?
Ex. Lightning Bolt on Jace with this out would only do 2 dmg to him versus the usual 3?
I assume so since I don't see why not but I figured I'd ask.

I sort of like the art. At first I thought it was a male angel, which Magic needs more of. Is Gabriel Angelfire the only one? Gameplay-wise it's a medium-sized flying body for four mana, with a useful - sometimes really good - ability to boot. Oh, and it doesn't die to Lightning Bolt.

This card is very good for its casting cost I'm surprised it's not valued more. I hate the artwork too. I think the artist missed the mark on this one, both thematically and technically. From a distance, it looks like the angel is half beetle, even though it's just the armor and the angel's legs are curled. The wings look like leopard skin and its shape is weird. I don't know if there is foreshortening of the legs, but something feels off about the drawing of the legs. I don't think the Wizards art director should have approved this art.
@MightyMortox: Since a player must successfully damage the opponent before opting to redirect that damage to the Planeswalker, then Guardian Seraph will reduce damage by 1 first, and then the remaining amount can be redirected to the Planeswalker.

An amazing card, a 3/4 flier for 4 CMC that saves you a lot of life in the long run. Only thing I dislike about this card is the art, ew.

I like to see an angel that isn't wearing some variant of sexy armor. I hate sexy armor on angels.

I'm all for male angels and angels with non-dove wings, but this guy is kind of creepy looking, and he's not framed well. Half the picture is essentially blank.
But I love the ability. 3/4 and flying is respectable for 4 mana, and the ability is great, especially against decks that use little creatures. And if the opponent doesn't use small creatures, make them. I use Hunted Phantasm and Dovescape with this guy. Godhead of Awe also works.

Hey, I like the art work, not all angels have to be a stark white, angel dusted celestial being from the havens... Consider her the melee scrapper of the angel family, fending off armies of 1/1's...
Good cmc for her abilities and stats, and yeah, shes all up in my angel deck

It's a manly looking female angel with leopard-print wings with spikes on them. Yeah, the artwork's a mess. Great card, though. Stymies the pain from little tokens and provides an evasive, efficient beater. I like it.
