It's impressive how well that this card has aged over the years. This is also some of the most elegant and evocative flavor text that I've ever seen on a Magic card.

Unbelievable picture! Greg Staples is such a master at painting these beautiful creatures. More angels by Greg:
Empyrial Archangel
Baneslayer Angel
Archangel of Strife

I love playing this card in my control deck in today's environment. I win allot of games, and do so on the back of this hardy creature.

that flavor text has to be the best text ive ever seen on a card ever. just saying it makes you feel so powerful and like your a soldier being lead by angels into battle against evil. 5/5

I ran one just for retro value in my flying white blue deck.
She saved me against VAMPIRES, man.
I've seen Akroma and Gisela tear apart the house, but this lady just becomes a massive problem for an opponent in any situation even without the crazy stuff other flyers have.

My feeling is that this card is as good as a 5 mana 
angel should be. Baneslayer Angel aka. Bankslayer was a complete money grab by wizards. I can understand why they did this, but it does make the game less fun, especially when it steps on the toes of such an iconic card.
Aside from the rant, this is a great card, and was in my very first deck. I think it is a great baseline for 5 mana angels and should always be solid enough to see constructed play in my opinion. 5/5
