very cool art, this card goes great with b/w, & his conditional bonus is self-sustaining. Feels like a win more card but still very good.

This is about as close as we're gonna get to a new Exalted Angel. Its dangerous, rather easy to cast, and non-legend.. though its ability won't likely kick in when its actually needed. Very nice art and name though, makes up for any shred of imperfection in this thing.

I'm not really understanding why the hype over this card, its like an angel card but technically weaker.. all it does is get really big if you have a lot of life. There are many easy ways to get really big creatures that don't revolve around you trying to gain back lots of life, and there are better flyers at 5 mana that have lifelink, primarily angels. The idea as I see it is to play this card with edge of divinity, making it a 7/7, but that seems awfully lack luster compared to an angel or a flameblast dragon.

I will take this over Demigod, simply because a single DoP rocks a deck, and I have two. Without four Demigods then not taking full advantage of it.

I've never had the desire to play a W/B deck, though this guys usable in mono-colored decks as well.. but the artwork alone on these W/B cards is seriously tempting me to make one anyway!

I used to like this card quite a bit. Don't get me wrong, I still like it... but not nearly as much after noticing the silly little face it has.

Anyone who questions the power of this card should play against my amazing life gain deck. He's ALWAYS an 8/8 and can make sure you stay over 25 with 8 power lifelink

5CMC for a flying lifelink 4/4 is great. When it becomes 8/8 it's almost too much, GREAT CARD.

An awesome card for casual. This is the kind of thing that is basically pure fan service. You open one in a booster and know, right there and then, that you need to build a B/W deck.

I know exactly how you feel!! I felt the same way after realizing that newish juggernaut art has silly little eyes! Nevertheless, this thing is silly an any deck even slightly focused toward lifegain.

This got up to 18/18 the first game I used it, without me even trying. Then, I realized that with a Cradle of Vitality out, this guy can go up to 20/20 by the end of his third turn on the field. Then, up to 40/40 next. (Mwahahahahahahaha!)

It is pretty cool. In my deck 25 life is not a big deal. I have to admit though I would chose multiple copies of Serra Ascendant as opposed to one copy of this. It is more mana cost friendly for 5 more life points.

★★★★☆ (4.4/5.0)(4 votes)
@Garfunculus - it doesn't increase in size as you gain more life except when you're at 25 or above. It'll only get to 8/8 'without even trying.'
Pro tip: Scrap the typical pre-constructed deck land ratio and throw in a pair of Evershrike and/or Pyrrhic Revival as extra spice.

Just think you can turn two this will Culling the Weak and any zero mana creature or you could turn turn three this with a Dark Ritual. This card is simplely amazing. Use in the Soul Sister decks. I would if I had all the cards. Since its a hybrid you can pay only white for it. Either way awesome!!

Turn-three it with Dark Ritual.....or turn-one it if you can get two Rituals in your opening draw.
I think this is as good if not better than Baneslayer Angel. Mana cost is about right and I like the flexibility.

Spoiler: The Seer is the Divinity of Pride. Mind rape ensues.
Did you know the Seer's Parables are available to read? I suggest it. It's a short read and it makes you see the Spirit Avatars in a fully different light.

One of the more amusing functions of this card is turning instant speed lifegain into a combat trick. Plus since damage is dealt simultaneously, if it blocks something and takes 4~7 damage but puts you above 25 life, it survives!

It also gets +X/+X and hexproof, where X is the number of Diregraf Captains you control.
It is a awesome card. i think most of the spirits Avatars are absolutely awesome

As some people pointed out, this card isn't that good compared to some angels. However, this thing is one of the very few good like link creatures that can be played in mono black. This and vampire nighthawk are absolutely nuts in my necropotence deck. You dont need hippies, nantuko shade, knights anymore.
