The good thing is that there are not too many bad angels, sure some may not be wanted as much as others, but I don't think we will be ending up with something the equivalent of Desert.
ooh, that art is pretty sweet. Has to be Twilight Shepherd, right? If not, it looks like something rather atypical for an angel and possibly not even monowhite, though none of the white/black angels really fit this art.
Cards I think/hope will be included: Pristine Angel - really cool ability and fantastic art (please keep that original art!) Platinum Angel - would seem to make the most sense of the artifact angels Selenia, Dark Angel with new, awesome art (this is a "hope" more than a "think") Baneslayer Angel - I never had one, and it's iconic and one of the most-played angels ever Angel of Despair - we need a black or partially black angel. Crypt Angel would be really cool (if somewhat obscure) too. Fallen Angel is iconic and classic but if we get it, I hope it is with new art.
Akroma - they have to, right?
I'm calling it right now... this will be the last FtV. With the lackluster FtV: Annihilation last year it seems only fitting to cap off the series with the "other" popular tribe in relation to the first FtV. That being said, my hope is Iona and Linvala are included as they seriously need a reprint. Given recent FtV history it will only be one of them though and my guess would be Iona.
Edit-Changed Baneslayer to Twilight Shephard. The art just looks too much like it. And, knowing how they like to balance these FTV sets, I couldn't see removing any of my other choices.

It does seem like they overprinted Annihilation. However, FTV: The Other Most Popular Tribe was never in doubt. This is probably more of a "Let's make sure that we sell stuff" than a swan song. They've been adjusting the print runs on FTVs upwards for a long time - in response to popular complaints of "nobody can ever find this anywhere near MSRP". They may choose to simply dial back on those numbers a bit.

Good list, but (1) it should probably have Twilight Shepherd (see below) and (2) I doubt it will have both Entreat the Angels AND Decree of Justice. Of the two, I really hope it doesn't have Decree, we just got it in commander 2014 and it is in the elspeth vs. kiora duel deck, with new art. Would not make a lot of sense to give it to us a third time in such a short amount of time.
Yeah, I mean looking at the art, and looking at the current art for Twilight Angel, how can it be anything else? It has the face covering and it is literally flying around in twilight.
Don't think Blinding Angel makes sense because what exactly is this doing to blind anything? Art for that card should feature a LOT of light, not the complete absence of it.

I think this will most likely contain Avacyn, Angel of Hope, (at least) one of the Akromas, Platinum Angel and Iona, Shield of Emeria.

I could see Baneslayer Angel, Akroma or <snip>, Angel of Despair, Serra Angel, and I would love a foil Tariel, Reckoner of Souls.

Selenia's on the Reserve List. Sorry.
I know it's not exactly an iconic angel, but with the silvery moon and art, I'm going on a far-reaching limb and say Angelic Overseer.
My guess is Blinding Angel (same eyes and glowing sword), but I'd really like to see an alt art of Gisela, Blade of Goldnight in this collection!
Give Zaliki a CardI must have all the cats!
Akroma, Angel of Wrath (posterchild)
Akroma, Angel of Fury (posterchilds cool alter ego)
Serra Angel (nostalgia angel)
Radiant, Archangel (angel lord)
Angel of Despair (BW Angel)
Platinum Angel (artifact angel, Copper-Leaf Angel just sucks too much)
Angelic Destiny (look ,everything can be an angel!)
Aurelia, the Warleader OR Gisela, Blade of Goldnight (angry hasty angel that gives them red representation)
Maelstrom Archangel (woohoo, 5 color angel!)
Sigarda, Host of Herons (green represent)
Avacyn, Angel of Hope (money angel)
Twilight Shepherd (Because others are right, the art makes too much sense)
Entreat the Angels (army of angels!)
Empyrial Archangel 3 color, giant flashy angel)
Filigree Angel (UW angel)
