Thing is she's still a very solid uncommon as she was before Wizards decided to adjust her rarity for her return in 7th. Try to find one uncommon white solid flying beatstick at the same price, I dare you.

@BlameBot, Serra is (or was) a planeswalker who ruled "Serra's Realm" and fashioned various creatures within it, including Serra Angel.

I really wish Wizards would slow down the format so things that cost {5} would see a lot more play. This thing owns in casual and limited. The only reason Celestial Colonnade sees so much constructed action is that it turns into this at instant speed in addition to providing 2 colors of mana.

@PhyrexianLobbiest: There WAS a Serra card, she was just an oversized Vanguard card.

God, how can I sum up how awesome this card is and continues to be? It has an evasion skill, can attack and block every single turn under normal circümstances, and is Lightning Bolt-proof.
Yeah, Walletslayer will net you life every time you attack/block with it usually, and is beefier, but you either have to use it offensively or defensively. Most times that isn't an issue, but when it is, Serra really comes through.

I run this card in every white deck I make. Staple card.

This was removed from the base set for a time because it was above the power curve that Wizards wanted for creatures at one point. Take awhile to soak that in and don't kill yourself laughing too hard.

I still think Vigiliance makes her really clutch, plus she fits the role of a good flying beater in both casual and limited where people never run four copies of Baneslayer (well, not necessarily in casual...but nobody I play with has the funds to run four). On top of that, Serra Angel is both hotter than Baneslayer, and a classic.

I have to love serra angel as she absolutely dominated my magic playing for almost 7 years.

Ah, Serra Angel. Wizards should stop printing Baneslayer Angel and keep printing you.
