Although this guy's dated version of Lifelink is slightly worse in that it's triggered, this card is still amazing.

lifelink. (Damage dealt by the creature also causes its controller to gain that much life.)

the ability to turn her face up on turn 4 just makes this amazing.

My question is...does Exalted Angel stack with Spirit Loop or Spirit Link? Both being non-Lifelink keywords they will stack with Lifelink but what about each other?

it is different from life link because lifelink says "Damage dealt by Exalted Angel also causes you to gain that much life." This says "Whenever". The biggest difference between the two is that this card is a triggered ability and can be countered as such.

One must remember two important distinctions between lifelink and "whenever this creature does damage you gain that much life" abilities:
-lifelink happens WHEN you do the damage. Immediately. It doesn't use the stack. It is faster than instant. I.E. if you would die from the damage that hits you and you have a lifelink creature dealing damage at the same time then that lifegain can save you if it's great enough (static ability)
-non-lifelink uses the stack, but it also isn't keyworded and thus is worded in a way in which is stacks. That's one of those things that makes enchantments with it like Armadillo Cloak so awesome. (triggered ability)


To the card, a great card! Many good morph cards (like this one) allow you to play it for 3 mana (turn 3 in a slow deck) and flip it either immediately or for four mana (turn 4), and it makes them great. Cards like this allow you to beat the power curve by essentially risking a turn with a 2/2. Good design, good creature = good card.

This was played a lot in Astral Slide decks back in the day, as you could morph the angel in, and then blink her to get a 4/5 lifelink flyer for 3

She may not have lifelink, but she certainly has

Morphlink (Morphing this creature for 2WhiteWhite also causes you to gain that much happiness.)

This is a static effect, and it stacks with the triggered ability "When you morph this creature for 2WhiteWhite, gain that much happiness."
