Would need to lose at least one or two mana to be viable.

Is this (potentially) the only card with Rampage 3? Anyway, as it is, it's crap, but I really like the concept. I can even imagine this card in a combo with Concerted Effort.

A interesting concept, but costs too much for a 4/4...

This may be the only male angel in Magic.

Cool flavor text, but severely over-costed.

How to make Legendary: remove the words 'one', 'of', and 'or'.

Such a disappointment given the name and concept of a totally devastating Angel. Even 2 of the abilities per upkeep would have been playable for its time. or at least make him a 5/5. Oh, well...

Now it would be as below.

Legendary Creature - Angel
Flying, first strike, trample, rampage 3.
6/6

6/6 because it has to be bigger than Baneslayer Angel, due to the legendary status.

Really cool flavor. He'd make an amazing card if he was tweaked just a little- mana cost, abilities, etc. So close.

@A3Kitsune: Nope. Check out Admonition Angel.
This card combos with Staying Power.

EDIT: I take that back. Checking out the wallpaper, and I don't see much chest, but jaw and a bare stomach suggest that it's a woman too.

Worst Legend ever. two types of mana requiring 2 of each, only one ability per turn and chosen during upkeep so your opponent knows it's coming.

In play even during it's time, this was hard as hell to cast, with little to no benefit whatsoever. I played this extensively, and it ws never once part of any combo or any viable beat-down strategy.

@Paolino: Doesn't Rampage seem reeeeal freakin' odd on an angel? Flying & Rampage would make him Chromium, and that's the worst dragon in history.

Unfortunately, your hand is forced. There's only one ability worth picking, when you consider what this angel is going to be up against in the air. (and sometimes on the ground when he blocks)

First Strike.

First of all, Serra Angel invalidates 90% of other Fliers from the first 5-6 sets of MAGIC. The more I think of it, she really was the Akroma of her Day. 4/4 for mana and vigilance? It does...Everything! o.o

You need First Strike to kill Serra Angels. You have green mana, so Giant Growth, next to that First Strike, will serve you very well as a 7/7.

Oh.

Wait.

The flying.....is not......

good lord this card is terrible ;_;

I would say even if you stapled her all together to make a 'modernized' creature, she would cost 6 mana, not 5.

{3}{W}{W}{G} probably.
