The power creep on creatures is insane. Spells, not so much - old and new are different but there's no clear "better." However, creatures are getting out of control. Back in the day something like this would cost 8, minimum. Like someone else said, the only reason this isn't being rated higher is because of even more ridicules creatures. I swear, ever since Spiritmonger hit the scene R & D has lost all reason when it comes to creatures.

I wouldn't have thought that the nerd community was this shallow, but here you have it.
The card isn't very playable, but the artwork is very nicely done, and it's nice to see that this fantasy world doesn't confine all it's angels to looking like, well, a fantasy.

Another good, strong angel that will see no constructed play. Baneslayer is in fact a bane herself.

Dude, Thrull_champion is totally right. If this would have came out in 2010. . Okay, not 2010, but any set before then, this would be extremely high rated! But because of the inevitable power creep, she's not looked twice at in most cases, and she's "selling" haha as of now, before the sets even out for 2 dollars. I'm gonna be picking a few of these up for sure!

A bit expensive for 8 though... yeah you can play her for 6, but do you really want her to be killed the turn you play her?

Although she's a little expensive in one-on one play for my taste (being mainly a white weenie player), I love her for multi-player (especially in the board wipe happy environment I play in). Her ability also fits nicely with other army-protecting angels like Twilight Shepard and Reya Dawnbringer.
As for her art, I rather like it. Firstly, as a bit of a humanities geek, I like how her larger figure and open clothing seems to give her a mother goddess look, which is a neat flavor for a card with her effect. I don't think that she's unattractive, despite not fitting with today's "ideal" image of beauty. In my opinion, beauty comes in many forms--in the ancient world, being heavier set was considered a sign of prosperity and fertility and therefore highly valued. In addition, I think it's really cool that a card with a larger woman portrayed as powerful and beautiful exists--in today's world of cookie cutter beauty, it's nice to see some differen... (see all)

Of course she looks preggers. Her womb is made of steel so that's where she hides those she protects.

For all of you wondering, I checked the art, She's just a pudgy angel.
Doesn't make her any less hot though.
