Really good card, one of the best ability. Personally I love this card. You don't win (that 1 reason for my vote: 4,5, not 5) but you can't lose! ^_^

So...Can I take my opponent to negative life? If so, as soon as Platinum Angel leaves play, do they lose?

Darksteel Forge and Master Transmuter make her hard to get rid of. This card is nice, makes opponents mad though.

Flavorless, imo, a pre-mythic rare mythic, where they just dump power into a card so that kids will buy it. SO what if you can accelerate and drop this with a lightning greaves on fourth turn? GG, nice strat, way to play a one sided game. All this makes me want to do is run infinite mana with a Capsize every game I play, which is just about as much fun to face as this 'angel.'

Keep one of these with you at all times, and you will never lose The Game. Ever.

I have a friend that runs a sliver deck, and he's usually unstoppable against the decks I play. But I slid a copy of this bad... girl(?) into my mono-white enchantment deck. Every time I play her(?), he scoops, because he has no direct removal. I don't care`that it has obvious weaknesses. This is a truly great, unique card. 5/5.

...Test-Subject_217601, I'm pretty sure Bolt deals 3 damage. And this is a 4/4. Just saying.

Also, why would you lightning bolt it when you could just Shattering Spree it?

This card is a crutch. I won't play it. I prefer to win by the rules.

Most of the time when I think about playing this card I just want it for a turn or two to place my finishing move by wasting a lot of my own life. This little angel has slipped it's way into a few black decks of mine, but in all honesty, I would much rather play Angel's Grace for that purpose.

I remember seeing this back when i started (in mirrodin.) I was so captivated by its power. I thought there was literally no way to loose when u drop this. Lol how foolish i was. Most of the time this thing is a false sense of security. They will let u keep it out until your below 0 then nuke it. Tho if your deck cant deal with it at all, then its itsa loss.

Platinum Angel is a lot worse than the new players think it is, but a lot better than the pros think it is.
