ouch, this effect can be devistating, or it could matter very little, depends on when she dies.

seems a little silly, it rewards your opponents for killing it, i guess it goes with her cost.

This is debatably the worst angel printed to date. Nevertheless, it's a fun concept.

I can't think of a combo.

Although the colors may be a bit off, this could somewhat work in a large multiplayer game with gather specimens, and maybe a Jhoira of the Ghitu suspended kill-spell targeting your angel.

I love the picture and I think the concept is fairly interesting, but unfortunately it also means this card will probably never be played. There aren't many instances where a player would enjoy giving his opponents a 3/3 creature with flying for free. If I played against this card I would target it just for the free flier.

You could play this with Tainted Æther too.

Run U/W/B with Tainted Æther and Leyline of Singularity and throw in a Hunted Phantasm for good measure. You'll just wreck their lands and the leyline will kill all of them.

Here's an idea for a R/W deck: Bazaar Trader it over to the other player, then follow it up with a lightning bolt. Admittedly you could just use Serra Avenger for a 2-drop 3/3...yeah, I'm trying to salvage this card and it's not going that well.

If it cost 1W it would have been awesome and format defining. As is it's pretty meh. Maybe they should have saved the concept for some type of larger creature.

The artwork is beautiful, but in order to make this card worth its downside, they should've either made its cost only W, or have made it a 5/5 instead of a 3/3.

As it stands, why would anyone want to use this card in a deck? Unless you use Gather Specimens with it (which is quite expensive, and more importantly wasn't even invented yet when Haunted Angel came out, it's more of a detriment to you.

I'd play it in a Zedruu the Greathearted deck. If it's about to die, donate it to its killer, and pass out angels for everyone else.

Donate then Doomblade. In multiplayer format, don't use this card.

Awesome, a malfunctioning penumbra creature.
