These lists of abilities that some angels have *coughbaneslayercough* make my head spin.

I have a mint foil of this I've never played. I love white as a color but when it comes to deck building inspiration I really only get jazzed about R, U, and B. I can't believe people would pay $20 for this card. I'd sell it for $20 =P

This would be the ultimate: This artwork, extended artwork, Legions' flavor text, and the prism color scheme that the foil gives off like in this image. I'm sad that this print of it is $10 more than the Legions/Time Shifted ones I could find/afford.

@Ferlord
Per the Comprehensive Rules, protection is a static ability that permanents have (CR 702.15a). Static abilities are active only while a permanent is on the battlefield (CR 112.3d) and a card ceases to be a permanent if it is not on the battlefield (CR 110.1).
So no. Akroma's protection works only while she's a permanent (i.e. on the battlefield). She is not a permanent if she is in the graveyard, hand, or library; thus, she isn't protected in those zones.
However, Necromancy and Animate Dead bring a creature back onto the battlefield and attach themselves to that creature. When Akroma is brought onto the battlefield, she has protection from black. Akroma's ability will cause these enchantments to be unable to attach themselves to her, and she will be sacrificed. Zombify, Buried Alive, Reanimate or Surgical Extraction will work on her, because they do... (see all)

@DarthParallax: Clearly, Avacyn should be 13/13. Flying, Lifelink, Deathtouch.
Goes with the "13" theme and mirrors Withengar Unbound.

@ DarthParallax: Unless you're using mana acceleration and/or Quicksilver Amulet/Puresteel Paladin, by the time you play Avacyn, Angel of Hope and equipped Worldslayer to it, if you're playing Standard, you could've won the game already.
Sure Worldslayer is good on Avacyn but it's better on Kaldra in my opinion. You get board-wipes and you exile indestructible blockers. Of course, that would take awhile to play, too.
Anyway, this is a prime target for reanimator and it's a shock in my opinion it wasn't printed in Graveborn. Sweet card with great white flavor 5/5.
