Completely overshadowed by Guardian Seraph.
White weenie was apparently no known term back then in Portal, huh?
If blue can get better creatures at the same cost as white, something went wrong.

It's sad to think that nearly every angel used to suck

Pure aesthetics. The arts just so, good though that you feel cheated looking at this card.

*/2 for lack of any redeeming qualities.

Lol, try BSA. But the art's pretty good.

She looks like Baneslayer Angel... but with fewer accoutrements. Proto-baneslayer, if you will. Apparently a crown of flowers and a sword give her +2/+1 and a few other abilities.

Yet another one of the many, many cards with great artwork that are terrible cards.

It's not fair to compare her to Baneslayer Angel, since BS didn't come out until years after this.

It is, however, fair to compare her to Serra Angel, who's been in the game right from the very beginning. Yeah, Serra was pretty good, in the early days, and it was maybe reasonable to make a weaker version, but loss of power and loss of vigilance?

It makes me so sad when I see such amazing art on a card that should never see play. :(

She makes a cool bookmark. Props for anyone who plays her.

... that is some NICE artwork. Seriously. All the angels we get nowadays are generic hollywood bimbos with wings, barring awesome exceptions like Tariel, Reckoner of Souls or Avacyn. We need moar stuff like THIS!

Oh man, they should have made this a bomb card just for that art.

Almost as pretty as the person who painted her: http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090123212624/starwars/images/d/da/Rebecca_Guay.jpg
