Reidane, God of Justice 2W
Legendary Creature - God
Flying, vigilance
Snow lands your opponents control enter the battlefield tapped.
Noncreature spells your opponents cast with converted mana cost 4 or greater costs 2 more to cast.

Reidane's Shield [needs more translation] 3W
Legendary Artifact
If a source an opponent controls would deal damage to you or a permanent you control, prevent 1 of that damage.
Whenever you or another permanent you control becomes the target of a spell or ability your opponent controls, counter that spell or ability unless its controller pays 1.
True justice is turning all your snow basics into snow taplands, negating all those Giant discounts, and making every spell that targets your stuff 1 more to cast. Oh, and Megadeth, apparently.
The 2nd effect alone makes her a house against Control. Delaying a Wrath by 2 whole turns is pretty much the same as just turning it into a blank, and could easily be 3 if your opponent is running Snows. It also hoses Tron's endgame threats, Heliod's CoCos and Chords as well as Ad Nauseam.
As for the Shield, it`s a game-winner against Storm and hoses Amulet Titan. Other than that, I mostly just see it as a way to protect Reidane if you draw a second copy.
The hatebear abilities are both situationally good and being on a sorta pushed body is nice. We have lots of little flying haters with similar or identical bodies/costs, but her extra abilities and nonzero chance of being cast as a weird defensive artifact push her over the top.
Reidane, God of Justice: "Hah! Take that! My mere presence makes your lands of snow enter tapped." Jorn, God of Winter: [Plays a snow land, it enters play tapped. Then Strolls forward and his snowland untap.] "You were saying?"
Also, this previewer is much more my style than some selfie-slinging would-be influencer.
Ffs these people are doing previews for free, you're really overblowing it. She advertised her small channel with a picture of herself, so what, not a big deal, grow up.

The card is nice. I just don't like it that white isn't getting a MDFC with a different color on the backside. Green has two. The angel tribal is in Orzhov. Well she doesn't do anything for the angels so I guess it's okay. So it seems like we won't get an Orzhov legendary Angel tribal commander in this set? We have Liesa as option I guess.

I feel like this was made white on both sides just so it could have a chance in Modern/Legacy Death & Taxes decks. I don't think it's great though.

I mean... kind of. She isn't an Angel tribal commander and getting extra cards with her will be hard with Angels but she can be the commander. I think Liesa, shroud of dusk is just better for the same cost. And keeping in mind the amount of live gain you have with angels. If Firja would give you the card draw on life gain or have some benefits for Angels than it would be different. But I thing she fits more in the 99.
Edit: If you want to go the Graveyard/Recursion way than Firja is a lot better.

but gavin forcing snow stuff to enter tapped is not that bad for snow since Amulet of Vigor and Archelos, Lagoon Mystic exist
plus you can just shoot her with terminate effects since not indestructible
The god is probably better,
I think I like the shield more.
Actually she's not an angel at all!
did She get compleated by vorinclex? That looks like oil on her blade on the art and the shield ain’t look Valkyrie like on the alt
I think it's just Demon Blood, from all the Demon Skulls.
Just wanted to put that out there.

Firja, Judge of Valor does not count?
