They should totally make a 0/1 Colorless Artifact creature named "Baneslayer's favorite teddy bear" with flying, shroud, indestructibilty, defender and "protection from Baneslayer Angel"

it doesn't have vigilance so it's NOT strictly better than serra angel.

I must admit, I have a deck with just one copy of her in it and if I get her out she has a tendency to upset my opponent. The first strike lifelink can gain you back any life loss while making her a hassle to kill via blocking and I have actually seen her upset a dragon player with her unique protection making her a nice blocker and an unblockable attacker. Sure, she's over-hyped somewhat because she is still weak to removal and high damage. But she doesn't deserve overly-critical treatment just because a few people are overly-enthusiastic about her.

I remember the MTG world before this card was ever existed. You used to see the MOST 4 removals into a deck and only in RDW or black decks... Now, even green has Plummer in sb just to get rid of this...
If this had never existed, Eldrazi might cost more or has less power since this card changed the Type 2 powerlevel...
Serra Angel for example, whitch used to be rare during Tenth edition is now merely uncommon due to Baneslayer Angel.... Go figure.
I have nothing to say, aparently today I got one in a booster and I was surprised, I would never thought I could get one so easily, something that made me very happy, and very sad at the same time. If even someone like me could get one. Then...
Anyway, This just goes combo with Lotus Cobra and a felchland at the thirt turn to have it hit the table...= Actually 3 mana Baneslayer.
It may never seen attacking due to removals, but even holding your removals for something ... (see all)

I appreciate your storytelling abillity and sense of flavor, but don't you think you're taking this a little too seriously?

What a lot of people commenting on the "unfairness" of this card are missing is this.
In the history of MTG, I can't think of one card that, by itself, won you a game. Last time I checked,
you still need a supporting cast.
Take Jace. What good is he if he's all you have out there? A couple of 3/3 creatures attacking a defenseless player turns him into toast if he's not out for at least 2 turns.
A black lotus, by itself, never won anybody a game last time I checked and it's the most expensive card in the game, somewhere around a grand or more by now.
My Power 9 deck kicks butt not because of the power 9 cards in it but because I actually have a decent deck (merfolk) built around it.
And no matter how good your deck is, if you're looking at one land in 8 turns (I've seen it happen) you're toast.
Those bitching about people being able to "buy" decks need to understand that in standard play, most of the really great cards are not even tournament legal anymore. And if you're going to ... (see all)

Oh man, I remember when this first came out. Everyone, myself included, was going nuts over how broken it was.
Nowadays, though, creature removal finally caught up. I can't play this (or any other similarly big creature that can't protect itself, save perhaps Phyrexian Obliterator vs. Mono Red burn) at any point without it getting bitchslapped by sac effects, paths, burn, creature destruction, O Rings, etc. the second it hits the board.
Testing a Modern 
control deck with this as the big finisher, it's proven a great removal magnet, but not much else. I've attacked with her maybe once or twice, over the course of ten games.
Every other time, she went to the grave the second she hit the field.
About the only color that can protect the Angel at instant speed from the kind of removal that is now out there (and you have to protect her at INSTANT speed, nothing else will do) is Blue. And that's assuming you have Islands untapped, meaning this girl no longer costs

I love how everyone blames Wizards for this being expensive...
HINT: WIZARDS DOESN'T MAKE MONEY OFF THE SECONDARY MARKET. The reason this card costs $40, and Jace 2.0 costs $70, is because PLAYERS ARE WILLING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR IT. Wizards made some very powerful cards, and has tried again (as Richard did at the beginning) to use rarity as a balance. You have to open more packs to get them, and that's fair (if you argue it isn't, then your point is moot, because then you don't want a "collectable card game", you want a "card game". Decks of cards are $5). But everyone goes nuts for these, and the tournament players flock to buy playsets of them, whatever the cost. Is Wizards right in doing this? Probably not. But it's not their fault how much the card costs.
You want to *** about someone hurting casual players, it's hardcore, must-win-every-tourney Spikes who are willing to pay $40+ for a single card (and then want a playset or two) and therefore drive the price up. Wizards cares... (see all)

Wait whats this? No vigilance. Serra Angel, well to tell you the truth Baneslayer is a powerful white beatdown card, but it can easily be crushed by non bolt removal. And like many of you have stated its a pain for people who don't regularly play in tournaments, and yes people will pay for this.....though its never going to be my profession......and again those who have the money will by this for the lulz. It gets ridiculous when you play up to 100 dollars for a small piece of laserprinted cardstock.
