Holy ... I just saw this card the very first time. At first I thought it was just not good. Then I realized it was MYTHIC. I think something in my brain snapped.

Now I almost never comment on cards but when I was opening a booster box of D.A, I was praying I didn't get one of these bad boys. And what do ya know! I pulled one! and not just one, a foil one. even beetteerrr. Now I am currently using this card in a penny sleeve as a bookmark. But I would like to give an opinion on how this card should have been made a real "mythic"
one white mana five colourless
gain three life for each card in your graveyard
return three creature cards from your graveyard to play
return three cards from your graveyard to your hand
draw three cards
I think if the card (or any card ever made this way) I wouldn't be using as a bookmark...

Rarity is stupid, but I would sideboard this in against a mill deck in an instant.

Of all sets in this block, why on Earth is a card called "Archangel's Light" in Dark Ascension!!? Dark Ascension is supposed to be the set where there was no Avacyn! Was R&D trying to fill Dark Ascension with horrid rares and mythics?

I've Played for a year or so now, and I consider myself a good player. I understand whats good about necropotence an dark confidant and all that, but I love this piece. I'm not sure what's bad about it: i run four of these in a lifegain aggro deck, and I win all the time. I usually get into the hundreds and that gives me enough life to be able to survive forever. I also keep on shufflig my archangels lights back into my library thanks to other archangels lights. Could someone explain why it's bad?

This is the lowest rated mythic of all time. The next lowest is rated 2.8 right now...

This card is an insult for us Magic Players.
Tiny upgraded Elixir of Immortality effect and double upgraded rarity.
Imagine opening this in a Booster pack...
What annoys me most about this card: The other mythics would be 10% cheaper/more frequent opened if Archangel's Light wouldn't exist.
@Yozuk: That's not true. Cards like Elspeth Tirel never yielded single increments of lifegain. Thus Ajani's Pridemate just gains a Single +1/+1 Counter for 8 Mana ;)

I just excitedly showed this card to a buddy, who needed exactly this.
Like everyone else I'd be sad if this took up my rare slot when drafting, but let's look at the card for what it's actually good for: sideboard anti-mill.
You're hitting them and reducing their life total. They're milling you. It takes some amount of turns for them to get you dangerously close to milled out. Then you cast this. You already have the mana because it's late game. You're okay playing only this for the turn because they aren't an aggressive deck. Their clock is set back to 59 - whatever is in your hand. Your clock is unaffected.

Why is this card getting so much hate? I don't think it's great myself, but it has uses. For instance: I was in a multiplier game with two people. Late in game they decided to turn on me. I was milled out save four or so cards and had this in my hand. I dropped it and gained 146 life as well as undone all milling that had happened. I will very easily admit, however, that it is very overpriced as a mythic.
3 / 5
