Unless the game has gone very long, her triggered ability won't do much... the first time. Persist, however, pushes this card into the top tier; she can single-handedly make Wrath of God, for example, entirely one-sided. This is a true terror to behold.

I'm Twilight Shepherd and this is my favorite angel on the gatherer.

This is amazing with Cloudgoat Ranger: Board sweepers are way less painful when you're flooding the board with tokens on your very next turn.

What you guys don't seem to realize is that there is a nice combo with her that came in the divine demonic pack. An other wordly journey allowing you to play many spells every turn and, if you have enough mana or low costing cards, even on opponents turns.

This is why Serra Angel is uncommon now. For one more white mana, it has all the same abilities plus one more power and toughness, persist, and anti-WOG. While WOG might not have been reprinted, that won't stop people from playing it, and doesn't stop it from being the best removal spell in the game.

If you use her and an Angelic Renewal she cant be gotten rid of because she sends the renewal straight back to your hand. that and persist make her unstoppable. I have Akroma in my angel deck but its entirely built around Twilight Shepherd.

Messiah, you only return cards put into your graveyard from the battlefield. Otherworldly journey never enters the battlefield.

Anybody else wish Serra Angel had stayed rare, just so it could have one little tiny reason left to feel special?
That aside, i like this angel alot. Funny, I didn't like it actually in Shadowmoor, but as soon as it came out with the Angels&Demons expansion symbol, it started being awesome. I guess its just nearly impossible to imagine this creature actually on the plane of Shadowmoor...?

This card is great! It can revive several creatures twice! It's got good attacking power too. This is exceptionally good when up against an enchantment like Edge of Divinity.
