I'm not a fan of this card. Its effect is impressive but ultimately boring. Either it lives, and you win, or it dies, and you probably lose. It definitely doesn't need to be taking up a mythic rare slot in the core set anymore.

i threw 4 copies of this in my casual eldrazi ramp deck just to stave off aggro. a turn 3 platinum angel with lightning greaves can end the game against most aggro decks.

We have the high cost Artifact Angel that prevents you from loosing.
We have the cost efficient Demon that prevents you from winning.
I want something in red that says "Players can't loose the game. Players can't win the game."

Blue_Blur said it right - it takes skill, and a good deck, to actually both land this angel AND protect her so her ability remains relevant. She comes down with one of the biggest targets in MtG painted on her back, and her artifact-ness makes her even more vulnerable than just a plain angel is. In order to have her well protected you have to have a reasonable board setup, which can itself be vulnerable to disruption. She isn't the easy button that many people think she is.

What happens if you have her and Abyssal Persecuter out at the same time?

the trick with this is not to rely on it.
Sure it dies to removal, guess what, so does everything else
Don't build a deck around this, fit it in as plan B.
Keep a couple of whispersilk cloaks, they'll work for more than just the angel and give u a 5 turn timer if it is on the angel

Wow. This is the only legal card that had its art done by Brom. And it's a mythic?!? Pretty nice art.
