Oh, Tormented Angel isn't referring to a fallen spirit, it's referring to the sadness of the abandonment of Serra's Realm after the Phyrexian invasion...yeah, that's pretty unclear. Anywho, this card seems just fine :)

Now THAT is what I call a good Threshold ability.

Flavor's awesome. This is what happens when The Thing gets religion.
someone said this thing is lousy for a Kaalia deck. Apparently they aren't a Vorthos. This is the closest thing to a creature with type 'Angel Demon' we will ever see, I think.

Serra Angel --> Lord of the PIt. They costed this six because one costed five and the other seven, the problem was Lord of the Pit wasn't worth seven mana to begin with...

I love this creature. 4/4 with flying and vigilance for 6 isn't bad, but transforming into a creature better than Lord of the Pit is nice. The concept is amazing; basically the before and after of Fallen Angel. DarthParallax is right, it fits perfectly in with Kaalia.

I have a angel edh deck and its a shame i can't run this in it. The second i get threshold i gotta start saccing angels and when you can only play about one turn that really sucks.

You could run a colorless source of tokens, there are quite a few of those.
But this has got to be the best threshold ability in the game. I know it's been posted several times but bears repeating.

“As long as what you are afraid of is something evil, you may still hope that the good may come to your rescue. But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it is also dreadful? How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can’t eat and home the very place you can’t live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable. Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.” ― C.S. Lewis, Perelandra

I hope this eventually gets a more compelling illustration. It's an interesting card, but an angel horror could be portrayed so much more interestingly. As it is now, I'm always inclined to just leave it in the box and move on. Shame.

There'll be peace when your draft's done,
Lay your creature types to re~est,
Don't you fly no more...

Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say...
