an instant speed 4/5 flyer with protection from the big threat on the board for 6.  I don't think that is broken at all. [/sarcasm] Very Happy


Seriously though, drop the proto and make it a 4/4 and you can cost it at 6 reasonably.  Even then, it is spectacular.

I think this should be a 4/4 or 3/5, but otherwise it's great. At 4/5 its really good on its own.

Yes, but I think that size is 3/3 or bigger.

"There's no real science to the development of Angels. As Mark Rosewater mentioned on Monday, we've stopped doing unimpressive stuff like 2/2 Angels and common Angels and have tried to put them back on the pedestal they were on in the days prior to Urza's Saga. That means that today's Angels are all 3/3 or larger fliers (usually 4/4), and are usually rare.

Conversely, that means whenever design hands over a large rare white creature with flying, the creative team makes it into an Angel. There's rarely more than one per set. But other than that, what they do, how they do it, and how powerful they are in the big picture all fluctuate wildly." - Aaron Forsythe, Friday, June 25, 2004

I've designed 3 Angels. They started off as a 3/4, a 4/4, and a 4/5, and they all ended up being 4/4...
