Now, what would happen if you were to combo this with, say, Akroma's Memorial? Now THAT would be mean. ^_^ It's the "cheaper" ($-wise) and a bit weaker version of Progenitus
Of course, three abilities will overlap, but it would give the Vigilance effect needed for constant "Protection from All Colors and Artifacts" (which, unfortunately, means she can still be blasted by non-color non-artifacts...).
Hey! She can ALWAYS block Darksteel Colossus and survive! I'll just add Blight Sickle and even D.C. will fall!. Or, to avoid it's Return To Deck Not Graveyard ability, I could just add Sword of Kaldra. That beats ANY indestructible clause AND doesn't send it to the graveyard at all! It just goes straight out of the game!

My favorite card ever, this combined with the previously mentioned Serra's Blessing is alone unbelievable but add in my next 2nd favorite card Concerted Effort and this angel becomes ungodly. When all your creatures have vigilance and protection from all colors and artifacts, game over :)

It is ashamed that it only has protection when not tapped.... (that is why Darksteel Colossus is better..)

@nammertime: She won't. Protection from Artifacts works just like Protection from Instants - it doesn't mention a color, which means that she isn't protected from colorless things that aren't artifacts... On the other hand, if Pristine Angel was somehow to lose her "protection from all colors" ability, she would still be protected from colored artifacts like Reaper King and the other colored artifacts from Alara.

Keep your Gideon Juras and Baneslayer Angels. True White/Blue control decks finish with this.
@ziquallx: attack with Pristine angel, save mana for counters so when you try and target her, you FAIL.
Also, Kinda hard to give her vigilance. Though she doesn't throw off equipment.
