Even the wicked have nightmares. Sorry Archangel of Thune, you're good and all, but they're probably not having nightmares of you. No offence, but you do have a big competitor.

I was thinking this would be good in my sanguine bond/sun droplet deck... then I saw what you, JSSarfin, put and I think I threw up in my mouth.
you could also use kitchen finks for infinite recursion... especially with a sac mechanism like Bloodflow Connoisseur.
4.5/5 ... but I want to make it 3/5 just because it's yet another angel from a core set that ruins the game and makes peoples wallets empty. So all in all, I'm rating it a 4.

Well my Darien EDH deck just found a second copy of Cathar's Crusade! Can't wait to play with this beauty!

An Angel wearing proper armor, instead of skimpy clothing into battle.

@raptorman333
Kitchen Finks doesn't work. +1 counters and -1 counters don't remove each other. They're both on the target, so Kitchen Finks would not keep 'persisting.'
Although, anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT: @rollinsclone
Thank you for correcting me. I'm beginning to realize that my friend isn't as well versed in the Comprehensive Rules as he thought. Sigh, he's normally so reliable about rules and such though...

Why couldn't Wizards just reprint Baneslayer Angel instead?

This card is so much fun. I have it in my White/Black deck. Goes great with Bloodhunter Bats.

I want this so bad if only for the synergy it makes with Herald of War and Seraph Sanctuary.
DAMN YOU INFLATED STANDARD PRICES!
That said R&D kindly remembered the upset that Baneslayer caused to the community in terms of power creep.
Serra Angel can get in a scrap with Archangel of Thune and not only live but beat her. While at the same time, a carefully played Archangel of Thune can get in a scrap with Baneslayer Angel and win! A delicious balance!
If this goes down to only 10 dollars when it rotates out I will flip tables. It's a five dollar mythic at best. Any card that has a build around mechanic should not be this expensive. Limited bomb or no.

The most evil angel I've ever seen.

I hope she goes down in price sometime during her existence, and think she will post-Standard :)
She's not very broken- she's surprisingly more Johnny-friendly than Timmy-friendly. This is an Angel I can without apologies put into Kaalia of the Vast and expect fun for the whole table because of how ridiculously answerable she is. (EDH is BUILT to answer the kind of thing that she is.) Kind of unusual for a Kaalia deck to be 'fun for the whole table'.
I like it. :)
