Angel of Sanctions 3WW
Creature - Angel (mythic)
Flying
When Angel of Sanctions enters the battlefield, you may exile target nonland permanent an opponent controls until Angel of Sanctions leaves the battlefield.
Embalm 5W (5W, exile this card from your graveyard: create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a white Zombie Angel with no mana cost. Embalm only as a sorcery.)
3/4
I never thought I'd type the words "white Zombie Angel" in succession like that.
This is not a mythic effect. If it exiled two nonland permanents and costed 4WW for a 4/4 then that would be good. Kudos to a male angel. I hope there's more in Hour of Devastation since this is the obligatory White Mythic.

Well that is certainly interesting.
A 3/4 flyer for 5, that o-rings something. And can be resurrected from the graveyard as a zombie angel... is this the first time Zombie Angel has ever been an actual creature type on something?
Also I just noticed that angel looks male, have we ever had an actual male angel in MtG before?

I'm going to go the "It's mythic because of limited" route.
Getting rid of a 3/4 flier in limited isn't impossible, but it's not easy - and certainly harder after it's exiled something you wanted.
Then it can come right back and do it all again.
Not sure that this is pushed enough to be a mythic. Don't get me wrong, the O-ring ability, 5cc to cast and 6cc to embalm is great but the fact that the body is only a 3/4 flyer (not amazing at competing with Avacyn/Heart of Kiran or living through Grasp of Darkness etc.) is disappointing at mythic. At mythic with the power level of midrange creatures recently I feel like it could have easily been a 5/5 flying first striker or the like without being insane, alternately the O-ring ability could have been replaced by an actual removal spell, heck i'd have been happy if it simply had 1 extra toughness.
I imagine this is going to become an EDH staple. True, the removal may not be as definite as Angel of Despair or Ashen Rider, but the bugger also costs five mana and has built in recursion, something that may help you get the edge in a wrath crawl slugfest.

Yes, two times - Gabriel Angelfire and Malach of the Dawn
Malach of the Dawn, because Future Sight.
Holy crap, you can do it in Standard, too.
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.

Machius proudly supports R_E's right to Rumour!
I guess the dragon that was spoiled earlier didn't worn you that this isn't your Egypt...
I do think a zombie angel is funny... lol
