She makes every life-gain effect just a little bit more interesting. There's got to be a way to Johnny this up.
But I do not think that the Spikes are going to embrace it. 5 mana for a build-around is kind of clunky. Even an awesomely cool build-around like this.
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
I really like this angel. It has a slightly undersized body for that rarity, but it has a really strong ability that doesn't seem too pushed; it will fit into some standard decks, but won't be ubiquitous. Overall, very well designed.
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.

The 4 toughness is real nice
Sublime Archangel's 3 toughness has made me very sad numerous times
Not close to Constructed playable as it is a 5 mana creature that won't quickly win you the game on its own unanswered (Olivia Voldaren or Thundermaw Hellkite do that), doesn't stabilize a bad board (like Thragtusk, or before that Baneslayer) and leaves nothing behind after a Wrath effect.
Quite a step down in power from Sublime Archangel, but it is definitely a cool effect and will absolutely blow Limited games out. If you can't answer this immediately, you just lose.

I think this is without a doubt my favorite angel released recently. So many busted card interactions with this. So much to consider. I may actually retool one of my edh decks to be angels just for this.

But Shadowborn Demon is 3BBB, so that means no 3CC Mythic Cycle. Which fortunately means Thundermaw might not get a reprint, so I'll actually be able to pick one up after the Standard players flood the market with them when M13 rotates out.

Someday, I will own all of the dragons. All of them. 43/111, approximately 39% complete. Over a third done.
(calling it now; there will be a cycle of Legendary dual lands with Basic Land types in Theros block)
... AAAAAAAAND I was wrong
It reminds me of Archon of Redemption. Pretty nice in limited. No contructed play.
Archon didn't pump your team, it just gained life. And that limited environment wasn't exactly good for white outside allies either. Also, it combo's in a HUGE way with extort. Have 2 extort guys out and this guy, and you're putting counters on your team like crazy. I'd be surprised if this guy wasn't constructed playable. Card is pretty nutty with angelic skirmisher as well.

Might see some niche play with Nearheath Pilgrim. Definitely something to keep your eye on when new cards come out or the metagame changes drastically.
Edit: Geistflame+reckoner+this+ lifelink is infinite, could be relevant if an aggro deck pops up with enough 1 toughness dudes.

I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.
lol
will see play
Maybe modern martyr can use it too

How you should approach every game of Magic.

I seriously doubt it. It's not like you're gaining it in increments of 1.
I'd compare it to the wording of Ajani's Pridemate vs Ageless Entity. Also Drogskol Reaver.
No It's
Whenever you gain life put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control
If it was for each life gained it would be
Whenever you gain life put that many +1/+1 counters on each creature you control
It would also be absolutely busted if it did!
It says "Whenever you gain life...", which, like Ajani's Pridemate, triggers off life gain in general and not per point gained.
Nah they saved the naked one for the promo.
