Love this cause it made my friend who runs zombie decks cry.

And this is why Innistrad is going to be the next Kamigawa. Way too insular.

STOP saying this is the opposite of Zombie Apocalypse! This exiles, ZA does not. Hence, you can use this after that, but you cannot use that after this. I'm not going to say "superior" or "inferior" but for the love of god, stop calling them the 'same'.

@Fenix
On top of that, there's the multitude of flicker effects in Avacyn Restored. You can flicker the angel whenever you want as long as you have the cards, and always for considerably less than it costs to cast her.
Compared to Zombie Apocalypse, which you have to pay SIX for every time you want to use it, and you can do it no more than 4 times in a game unless you can get it back to your hand or give it flashback.
I get that it's supposed to fit the set's flavor, but why, why, WHY can't it simply be "destroy all Zombies"? As it is, Angel of Glory's Rise is just a 4/6 "F*** you" to the oldest Black tribal in Magic.
3.5/5; it's good, but I can't make myself rate it higher just because of how much of a dick move it was against Zombies (on top of the glaring lack of decent Zombies in the set to begin with...).

So.. For 1 more colorless mana in white you get a 4/6 bodied (Flyer no less) that EXILES on top of a Zombie apocalypse??? Wow lol that's got to be the biggest B**CH SLAP to a cards face I've ever seen before! By the way, how in the flying F is this Valued AND Rated lower than ZA?? Did you want it to draw a card for you too?!!
Synergises with Grimoire of the dead!!
Edit: Just tested out this as my finisher in a 
deck running a bunch of Humans and Vigilante Justice, it was a fairly easy win for me too (in case you wondered how that went :)

Combos with humans, cards that change other players creatures to zombies, and cards that change "humans" on the angel into a different type. If you can flicker it in and out in some way, I guess it can do some nasty stuff in the right deck. But seven mana for a 4/6 flyer that only does something in very specific situations in very specific decks ain't good.

I am giving this card a higher rating than normal, 3.5/5 because it is utterly fantastic in limited. In a recent Draft this was handed to me and I literally thought it was junk, but pulled it anyway. Then my first round I was barely staying alive by blocking with my weenies against an Aggressive deck. I played a Cathar's Crusade and was never able to maintain board position because my creatures kept getting nuked. Then I topdecked this gem. I placed her on the field, no zombies to exile, but returned 6 humans into play, along with 7 counters because Cathar's triggered for all creatures entering the battlefield. Suddenly the tides changed, and my opponent scooped.

I got one and played it just after my dads grimgrin was getting really strong. I still have a photo of my angel and 12 humans side by side while he had no creatures.
