I find it interesting that this is a sac. effect, an Angel is pictured, and that goes directly against Sigadra, Host of Herons. Another legendary angel cycle? I hope so. Would I be right to assume that is Gisela?

Nah I think that's just a random angel of Goldnight.
Seems pretty likely to be real. Since most spoilers so far have been in the form of boosters, and this is just a random common, I bet the source has 14 or so other cards that they haven't revealed yet.

I'd totally buy a booster pack of 3-4 foot tall cards. Probably just one, because I assume they'd cost a lot, but still.
Card looks like fun. Will definitely end up in my various green commander decks.
The sac makes this very likely to be real. It's a targeted answer to Dragonlord Ojutai and FRF Silumgar. In fact, this is the Tears of Valakut excerpt from the OGW M-Files article:
"ID 4/23/2015: New card to kill Dragons. Creative approves match to art.
KEN 5/11/2015: :/
DEL 5/14/2015: New damage-dealing ability. Was "Target player chooses a creature with flying he or she controls. Tears of Valakut deals 7 damage to that creature."
So, sometimes developers make super-specific cards to deal with metagame problems. This was initially intended as a very specific answer to Silumgar and Ojutai, but it was just a bit too far in the realm of "developery-ness," so it was scaled back to something that looked like an actual Magic card."

Chances are that this was Griselbrand's plan along. When Avacyn got trapped in the vault she might have been corrupted/infused with black mana, and since all her angels are linked to her............well looks like the entire system just got rekted.
Probably real. I really cannot imagine anyone faking this, especially with the art, flavor and all.
Based on Expose Evil's flavortext and this, it seems that the angels indeed go crazy and start to cleanse the world from anyone they deem unworthy. And yes, it sounds a lot like Radiant in Serra's Realm...

I think that it's more likely to be Nahiri revenge. She has the knowledge to create worlds/creatures/things and Innistrad angels aren't more than automatic guardians created by Sorin. All she need to do is change their "objective" from "protect the cattle humans" to "execute Order 66"
I somehow find it tragic when an attacking Traveling Philosopher gets blocked by another Traveling Philosopher, which normally results in two dead philosophers. Shouldn't they just sit aside and start discussing?
"This is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I'm quite dizzy with anticipation . . . Or is it the wind? There really is a lot of that now, isn't there? And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming toward me very fast? Very, very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide-sounding name like . . . ow . . . ound . . . round . . . ground! That's it! That's a good name- ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me? Hello Ground!"
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the Sprouting Phytohydra as it fell was Oh no, not again.
How does this go against Sigarda, doesn't her ability precisely stop this from happening?
If you control Sigarda, Host of Herons and an opponent casts Clip Wings, you do not have to sacrifice a flier. Stuff on the stack is generally controlled by the person who put it there.
Angels been having it rough lately. First Angels in Zendikar were getting crushed Grip of Desolation and still have their Halos in their eyes (except or Linvala... but her new version sucks even thematically. Now Angels are being hunted because they gone cray cray. The art and flavor text is a homerun for me but it does leave me sad that it seems like it is something the humans have to do in order to survive.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
Seems to be an over sized card of some sort, obviously authenticity is undetermined.
