Title: Avacyn Archangel
Post by: darkarts981 on March 08, 2012, 04:38:03 PM
Hey everyone! So, Avacyn Restored is just a few months away, do, what do you all think the Avacyn card should be (and be realistic about it), or should there even be one at all?

If she's not an epic angel I will 😭

I can see wizards making her the new {Akroma, Angel of Wrath}. And worth about $50.00 USD. But I'll try to get her in some random booster, like I got {Mikaeus, the Unhallowed} in a $2.00 6 card pack :3

CMC? It looks B/W due to the {Vault of the Archangel} + Ability.
Personally, I'd want her to be a creature, more epic than {Baneslayer Angel}, and on par with White Akroma. CMC of WW3  See what I did there? The WW would make her slightly harder to splash as well. I would prefer a White Fatty over another White PW.

On a side note! I want to see more dual-enemy-colored PWs! I.E. U/R, B/G, R/W, (only if they reprint {Ajani Vengeant}) G/U, we already have {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} as our W/B. I just hope they don't make a stupid U/R one. Then U/R Delver will be nuts! We all know there will be at least 1 PW though, I'm rooting for 2! Zendikar block got six! All I know is that Avacyn Restored is going to be hectic, it's a god damn full set!

As long as you control an human, all your creatures have +1/+1 and lifelink(yes, this includes avacyn)

As long as you control a spirit, all your creatures have  protection from zombies, werewolves and vampires(again, including this angel)

As long as you control an human and a spirit, all other creatures you control have hexproof

Yeah, before Innistrad was a for sure Plane, the speculation was that the new block was going to be a revisited Ravnica. I would personally love it! And it would make sense, seeing as how that's where Ral Zerek is from, isn't it?

This would be sick.  I kinda think you are right on track to.  I just hope the other colors will be able to balance out if they print something this ridiculously awesome for one color.

As I've said before, I really think we will see U/G and U/R planeswalkers next set. The ones from DotP  It will segue to the next block.

I believe that the booklet that comes with the DA fat pack mentioned that Aorin created Avacyn as well as the religion that surrounds her, so I'm guessing she will be a legendary spirit or illusion.  Just my two cents.

Yes Sorin did create her. So that led me to think she could be BW legendary angel.
2BWW
4/4 Flying and First Strike
T: create a 2/2 white flying angel token.

Her whole backstory has her locking horns with demons and devils and trapping them in {Helvault}.  I think she is going to be a Legendary Angel that is demon-proof or exiles creatures.
Can't wait for the Helvault to blow!

Karn was created by Venser, and he still became a planeswalker.

I know, but the point remains the same.  I DO think there is a difference btw Golem that Urza made ('cause he's awesome!) and angels.  Karn is like Pinocchio, but you know, cool!

Who's makin' these angels anyhow? ??? :o

Sorin made Avacyn and the religion surrounding her to protect the vampires "food source" from extinction.

Too OP? Talk about sorin of DA...
Anyway, let's make her a 1WWWB then, I think it makes it more funny.

Or I have another idea:
4WWW
Legendary creature - angel
Protection from werewolves, vampires, spirits, zombies and demons
All humans you control get +2/+2
WW, T: exile up to 6 permanents(oh yeah, I luv how there is no target) and avacyn. Return each permanent exiled this way to their owners control at the beginning of their respective owners next upkeep. You get 2 life for each human you control exiled this way, and put one 1/1 human soldier token on the battlefield for each zombie, vampire, werewolf or demon put on the battlefield that way
4/5

Karn received his first plainswalker spark by being a legacy weapon. And 1 item was the heart of a plainswalker. The second time venser gave his life and spark to karn to remember who he was.

Title: Re: Avacyn Archangel

I don't think Avacyn will be represented on a card at all. The art is the set art to be used on Fat Packs, Booster Boxes, etc. Unless I'm seeing the card art I'm not convinced.

I think that art is the set art to be used in Fat Packs, Booster Boxes, etc. It doesn't necessarily mean that art will be on a card. Case in point - In New Phyrexia we saw a cool phyrexianized version of Karn. That art wasn't on any of the cards in the set.
