This is a REALLY good card and has saved me many games, I run two in my Technicolor metalcraft deck. The only real problem with it is that it lacks evasion itself but this can easily be fixed and my personal favorite way to do this is with Liquimetal coating giving

Toughness 4 still keeps her in range of many spells/effects. Great with Lightning Greaves or Precursor Golem

With Liquimetal Coating and just one other artifact, you can pretty much give a permanent of your choice each turn shroud. You cast Doom Blade on my Sun Titan? I use the Liquimetal Coating and give it shroud, fizzling your blade. Whoops!
@ToidiDiPuts - proliferate doesn't target, so it gets around shroud. Of course, the permanents need a counter in the first place, so it can make putting one on more difficult.

@Daikoru why use the uber expensive Mycosynth Lattice ? Which means that it can only be used in Legacy ? When, for the Archangel, Liquimetal Coating is so much better. Simply for a few reasons
a) It's standard legal
b) It starts up metalcraft
c) It can stop removal targeting your non-artifacts
d) It is a lot cheaper both Mana and £ wise.
I think that the Archangel is strong and, more importantly, balanced. You get the same level of power and flight with Conundrum Sphinx And, the difference between Rarity warrants its powerful ability. (Although my opinions on how underrated Conundrum Sphinx is remains irrelevant) I do wholeheartedly believe that this card is balanced. If you do manage to turn off Metal craft...This is just a 4?4 beater. Which is perfectly Doomblade-able.

This angel, along with my Darksteel Forge, keeps my precious Myr safe... What's not to like?
Well, maybe that it's not safe from my Soulscour, since I have no card to make it an artifact...
But then again, if everything is dead, except my Myr, I don't really need shroud, do I? :P

This is the best white creature in the Mirrodin set. Her special ability is controllable with both Liquimetal Coating and Venser, the Sojourner.

4/4 Flying for 4 is great. Shroud us usually very good.
Annoying that she doesn't play well with Glint Hawks or using equipment on artifact creatures, but otherwise excellent.

Fun with Liquimetal Coating, particularly if you can cheat out Platinum Angel.

You are all crazy. This card is great, and in a block that is centered around artifacts, it should be painfully obvious by now why this was given it's mythic status.
I run four in my 
equipment deck, and you ought to hear the moans and groans this thing gets everytime one hits the board.

If Silverskin Armor is equipped to this, wouldn't it just fall if you had metalcraft? Not sure of the rules there.
