in A Gaze blank and pitiless references are made to a fourth angelic leader, sister to Sigarda, Bruna and Gisela. This fourth one was presumably Black-white and according to the short-story, Avacyn had destroyed her along with her entire flight.
Despite this, a new flight has appeared. the Moonsilver flight, seen in Reaper of flight Moonsilver. It would seem reasonable that this is the WB flight, especially when taking into consideration that the Reaper has the exact same stats as Fallen Angel if you have delerium.
So Avacyn obviously didn't (as Sigarda thinks) wipe out the entirety of that faction, and remnants of it are showing up again. What could their agenda be and how involved in the current situation are they?
I'm still half-and-half as to whether Flight Moonsilver is the WB flight or a new flight of angels fulfilling Avacyn's 'great work'. That Magali Villeneuve reaper angel does have something of a dark feel about her - I could see her belonging to a WB flight.
As an aside, every time I see that promo Moonsilver Spear art I *really* want a Moonsilver Glitterball artifact
You know... Moonsliver flight, Moonsilver Spear.... suddenly now I'm imagining that Avacyn did something similar to Liliana in ages past: Kill an angel and take her stuff (er, staff) as a trophy. As in, she killed Ms. Moonsilver who once help that spear, then took it as her own.
I'm now thinking that this Moonsilveris one of thw two possible reasons why Avacyn goes nuts: Something in the Moonsilver Spear there's some essence of Ms. Moonsilver which still existed and slowly corrupted her. Of course, that theory had to depend on the possibility that the Moonsilver flight really was corrupted... (as for the other possible reason what could've corrupted Avacyn, my guess is that her temporary stay in Helvault broke her mind or something)
It could very well be the BW angel's flight remnants, such as the Serra angels, who existed after their matriarch died. Considering that, I would rather say that Avacyn did succeed in killing her and most of the flight. So I don't see that as prove that 'Bunny' could still exist.
I just have some troubles associating 'Moonsilver' with black mana. Maybe it really just is Avacyn's thing, and the sacrifice ability is reflecting the darkness and dark aspects Avacyn's corruption brought with her.
I doubt its her flight, because its hard to imagine angels being able to successfully evade Avacyn for a thousand years. Most likely it's just a new flight bought about by Avacyn's Inquisition. Her sacrifice ability could even be a reflection of her demmand for her followers to kill themselves.
That said, there is no doubt that the W/B sister will play a role. I just don't think a Black aligned character made someone else Red.
It's possible, and I'd bet the Angels of that flight will play a role, but, Moonsilver is really strongly linked to Avacyn. I think it's supposed to represent that Avacyn is finally making her own flight rather than just sort of leading everyone else. It seems likely that it's the brainwashed flight mentioned in the Sigarda parts of that story.

I stand by the opinion that the Moonsilver flight are angels from the three flights (Alabaster, Goldnight, Herons) who switched their allegiance directly to Avacyn, skipping their flight archangels, and is not related to the BW sister.
One way or the other, we will know that soon, I think.

I wouldn't mind either tbh
