Not quite on a level of Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Progenitus, but a pretty iconic creature regardless

Now worth $20, $50 in foil. Is anyone else surprised she took this long to reach Akroma, Angel of Wrath's value?
And considering all my fangasming about Kaalia, Gisela, Sorin, and Innistrad Block in general, I'm pretty shocked I never bought one when she was 15.
Luckily, I believe Avacyn and Iona are both going to get reprinted down the line...not necessarily soon for Avacyn, but Iona? Goes in way too many casual and professional decks, and is good in many formats. I think Faithless Looting + Unburial Rites is probably the weakest thing I know how to do with her, behind hardcasting XD

@ CaMiCaZiE: Sorry, but -X/-X effects do indeed kill indestructible creatures.
"700.4. If a permanent is indestructible, rules and effects can't destroy it. (See rule 701.6, Destroy.) Such permanents are not destroyed by lethal damage, and they ignore the lethal-damage state-based action (see rule 704.5g). Rules or effects may cause an indestructible permanent to be sacrificed, put into a graveyard, or exiled."
A -X/-X effect does not "Destroy," neither does it deal lethal damage (which also destroys). It simply changes the creature's toughness. Any creature with toughness is not destroyed; the terminology is "put into graveyard as a state-based action." Indestructible only literally prevents destruction; that is, "destroy" effects.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Helvault's a good place,
For a trollop like you.
Everything-proof armour,
For your stuff and not mine,
Stick that Moonsilver Spear,
Where the sun doesn't shine.
I hope Mr. G,
And all of his kin,
Showed you a good time,
When you were in the bin.
This got a bit dark,
But I'm on a roll,
Stop making dumb angels,
Your buddy,
The Troll
5/5 for power, but 0.5/5 for being an anti-social card that will invariably be cheated out, and is very difficult to get rid of.

@FatalPenguin: maybe without it, she would have the ability Last Strike.

@Voriki
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Avacyn was created for the single-minded purpose of the merciless slaughter of the unhallowed mob of engorging armies that threatened the existence of Humanity. There is nothing sacred about her task, she is the secret testament to Vampiric, and very black planeswalker- For pitties sake, she was forged by black mana, for, albeit, a righteous cause, and created in a desperate home to perserve the fragile "ecosystem" of Innistrad. Yet Avacyn is no corner-angel preaching psalms to the natives- She is a beacon to the meek, a symbol of their struggle for survival and their triumph. Yet that is again, all in eyes of the naive human inhabitants who worship her. Afterall, Sorin created her with the intent to keep balance, not to mercifully save humanity for some noble, morale or religious reason.
And no one cares if it would have messed up your deck- i run a B/W Orzhov deck with angels and demons that would have greatly benefited from its in... (see all)

If Sorin created her...does that mean he has seen her nude??

Vapor Snag took one look at this and burst out laughing.

@Heartbreakerstudios: Every color has a relatively easy way around this. White can exile her. Black can force her to be sacrificed, or give her zero toughness. Blue can bounce her. Green can just trample over her. And red can just burn her controller. If you play with any of these colors, you should already have these effects easily available.
