Dawn Elemental with a slightly more relevant creature type. And a better cost.

Elegant and powerful. A very well-designed angel.

Well Dawn Elemental also survives Searing Spear and the like. However, I do really like this creature. If you're the aggressor in the matchup, her evasion helps ensure she'll get through. If you're on the defensive, she's a Fog Bank with much better stats and no defender drawback.

Interesting card. Fog bank mechanic on a 3/3 flying for 4.

I always irritates me when they print a "seraph" with only a single pair of wings.

Yeah, still obviously fragile against removal, but that's a well-overused complaint, yes?
She's great at what she does. 4/5.

Call me picky, but, this should have cost and been a 3/4

Looks to me like a crappier version of Commander Eesha. Sure, it got one more power, but the Eesha was unblockable, couldn't be targeted by creature abilities, and harder to burn or -x/-x to death.
Not saying that the Seraph is that horrible. It's awesome in limited. But just so-so in constructed.

I predict this card being a big pain in the ass when combo'd with all these enchantments running around

Hope this is monitored by Wotc.. If Seraph of the Sword is blocking a trampling doublestriker does she absorb 3 damage once or twice?
Figure it's twice but I'd like confirmation.

For being THE Seraph of the Sword, that's quite an insignificant sword you got there...

I am a bit confused by the text. Prevent all damage, what does this mean? Is it an indestructible?

She's not indestructible, since she can still be killed by things that just say "destroy", as well as by non-combat damage. The ability does exactly what it says: It prevents all combat damage.

I have a question I hope someone can answer, if I attack with a blood baron of vizkopa and seraph of the sword blocks do I still gain the life from the lifelink? thanks Crispy

@CrispyUK - Blood Baron has protection from white, so Seraph, being a white card, could not block him.

I kinda don't like an angel being so tiny. Wish it were a 4/4 that costed 5 mana. Still, the ability is quite good and feels white.

@Crispy Blood baron has protection from white, seraph of the sword isn't able to block her... But if we talk any creature with lifelink, the damage would be prevented, and you would gain no life, since it isn't dealt.

Neat color pallet for an angel... I dig the brunette hair with gray wings and dark armor. And it is lovely armor.

In Standard, equip Gorgon's Head on her and go to town.
