The Echo hurts this card. If it was one less it could be considerable, but as is it kills your fourth and fifth turn to drop this.

It's not so wonderful alone, but with echo it just is unplayable. 1/5

You can have four Serra Avengers for the price of one of these.

Cutting the casting cost and Echo cost by 1 would have been a good idea, and brought her into line with the standard Echo costing.

It's funny that this sells above bargain-bin rare prices. A desirable creature type, I suppose.

Hey there, beautiful. Shouldn't have echo.

This would've been crazy if it hadn't been for the echo cost. And yes, I mean crazy, considering Serra Angel was kicking it back then.

I think that a version without echo probably would probably be in line with the power of creatures today.

This should have some ETB trigger.

This was usable in sealed / draft, though really any flier with 3 power would be.

It's a bit underpowered / overcosted with the echo, but honestly, it's still useful.

I dont always cast Serra Angel, but when I do, I prefer it to cost 8 mana and have 1 less power.
