His headgear is in the form of 3 animal skulls joined together. Cool.
Also, he seems to me to fit blue/green more then red/green.

Probably one of the most "playable" gold legends. And the dino helmet is 'effin metal.

the activated ability is actually about right. putting t on a creature with the rest of these stats, however, is not. (A cheap flyer wants to attack, not tap to use its ability) and 4 mana for a 2/2 flyer IS cheap- especially in R/G. That's on curve for Blue flyers. Give the tap ability to someone who wants it more, give this guy an ability that lets it use it's flying attack, and then you've got it made :)

Honestly, these changes are actually small. The card as a whole looks close to done. Legends should be regarded as a Design file that accidentally went to print before Development got around to it. A large oversight, but not as large as suggesting that this actually got past a knowledgeable Development team.

A bit overcosted, but his ability is about right. Not bad for his time.

Be interesting to look up how many cards in "Alpha", "Arabian Nights", and "Antiquities" had flying.

Alpha Fliers put it to shame, but Arabian Nights' Djinns and Efreets might consider it an equal? Wait...nah...erg. Look this card really isn't as good as I was hoping it was the first time I commented.

It costs 4 colored mana. Serra Angel costs 2. Although you could say this is one of Red and Green's 'best fliers'

a) that's not true Red has Shivan Dragon, which looking back at this set, truly is an absolute monster at 5/5 Flying for 6 with Firebreathing-- so it's probably going to be 8/5 in actuallity along with another creature coming down?

b) Green has Vaevictus Asmadi, which admittedly is no better (and somewhat worse without Dual Lands) than Shivan Dragon, spray-painted gold.

c) those cards cost plus than 5 mana. but for an aggressive flying curve, you can play Serra Angel if you're willing to mess up your land base.

Serra Angel's comparative stats to the other Fliers of her day is scary. No, legit she will kill almost any Legendary creature or Flying creature just given Giant Growth or Firebreathing. You want to build a G/W/R deck out of just old cards?

Just think of Serra Angel as Uril, the Miststalker v.0.StoneAge and you'll do fine. o.O

Verdict: Buy Savannah and Taiga. o.o

How apropos that someone is advocating for Serra Angel on a card that looks very much like Serra Advocate!
