Has great card advantage to Act of Treason/ Threaten +Fling, but it also doesn't get the nice two for one damage. Still, great card

Adios, Platinum Angel.

When any of you get the chance, look at the full art for this card.
The tiny cardframe doesn't even begin to do it justice.

Well-designed incorporation of its colors' respective abilities. And definitely makes sense in the duel deck.

Do you see this angel, Planeswalkers? This is the fate of those who would defy Lord Bolas. So make the right choice and join Lord Bolas' legions.

I would have preferred {3}({U}/{B}){R}, but I guess the destruction requires that the deck be {B}. (To be fair, I'd mainly prefer that because I have a {U/R} deck that wants this)

I just had a thought of what this would look like as a Mythic: Splice it to Evil Twin and Havengul Lich. Like this:

Fall to Corruption {3}{B}{R}

Sorcery-Mythic Rare
Kicker {U}{B}
Destroy target creature or planeswalker. If Fall to Corruption was kicked, return target creature or planeswalker from your graveyard to the battlefield with all activated abilities of that permanent if it shares a type with it. That permanent gains haste and deathtouch until end of turn. (Pro Tip: Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Gideon Jura are Planeswalkers)

"Lord Vader."
"Yes, Master."
"Rise."

:O
-_- shudders

:3 despicably...beautiful.

The full art is spectacular. Even more so when you think of the flavor of the card. The angel weeping at what she's being forced to do as well as her impending doom. Just so much emotion being conveyed.

Sabrina felt herself sink slowly to the academy floor. The icy bindings on her mind were beginning to transform into a smiley warmth over her tormenting recollections. What cruel force could marionette her to the recruitment halls, unable to scream as she politely asked the new recruits to present arms? Through the nauseating shame and muffled cries of the new watch, that same reptilian voice wormed around between her ears.
"How was it Sabrina? Don't worry, it'll be over soon."

4/5 for one of my favorite pieces of Magic art of all time. Props, Mr. Argyle.

Use with Teferi's Veil to perma-yoink a creature.

I like to imagine that the coins around her head are a timer. If you take a look at the full card art you can see some broken ones on the floor.
