Meh, there are better options for less. If for some reason I'm spending this kind of mana, I'd rather just use something like akroma's vengence and clear the board (I play mostly EDH now).
I do understand the potential that the card has, but the fact that the opponent gets the cards back if this leaves play is my hangup....they can just blink it out temporarily and they get them back. With sword to plowshares printed, I'll look elsewhere.

This card is too impactful for its cost. In recent years I get the idea that mythic and rare just means that cards get cost reductions.
Compare this card to Angel of despair. Sure, the second one is much less restrictive in its target, but it'll fill a similar role. And this new card gives a better effect. Not too mention that the angel of serenity works well in pairs. And it's a 5/6.
This should have cost at least 8 mana or be a 4/4.

This card is great, and it deserves 5/5, which will be awarded, but, desspite the obvious facepalming with cloushifts, It really could be better. Think about Gisela, the same cmc, and suddenly, you take half damage and your opponents take double. WTF?! I have won many games with her and she is half the monetary price of serenity. Great card and all, but very high mana.
5/5 anyway for the obviously numerous applications

Journey to Nowhere costs 2 on its own. This is like 3 consecutive Journeys stapled onto a pretty beefy angel. That's practically getting the angel for just 
. Not to mention you can target the grave to screw over reanimators, AND that the cards go back to the hand and not straight to the battlefield. This is too expensive to see constructed but white EDH decks everywhere will rejoice! Plus the art is damned epic, too, almost seems like it's a leftover from AVR.

Get Cloudshift on an Isochron Scepter or something, and just start cleaning house. Horribly mean card. I want one.

Retardedly insane if u can flicker this continuously. deadeye navigator, Conjurer's Closet or even roaring primadox comes to mind....The manacost on the other hand shouldn't be a problem when splashing green or when played in EDH.
4.5/5

The stats are subpar for this mana cost. Still: it's very versatile. You can use it as a slow triple raise dead, attached to a creature. Or to interrupt graveyard combos your opponent has. Or to get temporarily rid of creatures your opponent has. The combo of "bounce in response to the triggered ability", which works for oblivion ring and the like, doesn't work very well here, since the mana cost is just too high to keep playing this guy together with removal.
3.5/5

This card is really good because most of the time we get alot of stuff on one card it is often overcosted. This card is NOT overcosted. Also, anyone but me who sees how well she comboes with... HERSELF? : D Playing the Solar Flare deck and putting 1 into the graveyard and 1 into the battlefield, exile her from the graveyard with her effect and 2 other things. Congratz, you just have an almost immortal 5/6 AND have exiled 2 creatures for your opponent ;)

Just Accept it already: If it's not Akroma, Griselbrand, Avacyn, or Worldslayer Dragon, it'll be Angel of Serenity, Utvara Hellkite, or some other damn thing. Every good card with one of those 3 words 'Angel' 'Demon' or 'Dragon' will share the same fate on Gatherer:
Kaalia. Rocks.
I *AM* a bit sad that my FAVORITE card for Flavor in ALL TWELVE THOUSAND cards is going to be derided on Gatherer because the deck-building ends up looking so lazy...but that STILL doesn't mean she isn't cool. When you throw every cool card in 3 colors together and call it a deck- YOU might not be cool, but your DECK is still BAMF! :D
I resign myself to the Mythic Rarity causing the reputation of Kaalia fans to be inversely proportional to the powercreep of creatures :P
