It's Adarkar Valkyrie, but bad!

she is like an angelic zombie lord?

I always wanted to smack that smile off his face ever since I was a kid.

Not great, but not terrible either

Historic. White almost lost it's clame to reanimation but she allowed white to keep it on the grounds that reanimation is an angelic ability.

Oh, how we awaited this card back then.

A new and even bigger Serra Angel!!

And then she turned out meh. :( Totally overcosted. Also, her ability seems much more vampiric to me.

Finally, don't like the art. I'm into long, flowing hair.

A powerful ability, but it's very expensive. I like to imagine that when she resurrects opposing angels, she does not kill them, but simply uses her divine authority as one of the most powerful angels to command them to join your side.

Also, guys, it's not difficult to make her worth her exorbitant mana cost. For example, give her First Strike through Knighthood. Or even better, give her Double Strike through True Conviction, Fireshrieker, etc, and she'll potentially be able to steal twice as many creatures. Use cards such HIgh Ground, Blaze of Glory, etc, and she's arguably better than the aforementioned Adarkar Valkyrie, though I'll admit that the Valkyrie is probably easier to use.

Consistent with the habit of grossly overcosting creatures, in the olden days. Soul Collector, of all cards, seems to be her successor.
