This Angel is in a strange spot. A 3/3 for 5 Mana with flying and double strike is okay but the other side of the card will rarely pay off. And at least in commander it has some serious competition at 5 Mana (Lyra Dawnbringer, Archangel of Thune, Angel of Sanctions, Angel of Destiny, Karmic Guide...). Angels will be played with life gain stuff and her effects doesn't play well with that. She really needs flash to be considerable to play her as oh ***** button and even than you need to keep 5 Mana open. Other than that she looks like fun. I didn't expected a DFC Angel in this set.
It's an angel and it has a wall of text that includes checking if you would die, doubling your life, and "you lose the game." If the mythic rarity is going to exist at all, then this must be mythic.
"It's not good" - uh ok, that isn't a requirement for any rarity and we don't want all the most pushed cards to be mythic anyway. Also, it's a 3/3 flying doublestrike that grants you hexproof, for 5 mana, with additional strict upside. It's good enough.

Every set has bad mythics, so in that sense I guess so. It's still bad though and shouldn't be mythic. Sure wouldn't be happy pulling this card from a pack hehe.
Well thats some references to the old modern Death Shadow deck lol. (You played death shadow+ the white avatar that costs 2 if you have 3 life, and then could use a 1b card that you sac a creature and deal dmg equal to it toughtness and gain that much life). This card would probably see play in that deck.
Also, Forbes are previewing a card? What the **** lol
It's not bad....
not the best card ever, sure, but not bad. I could see it being playable in some standard environments....
it's a 3/3 flying double striker that gives you hexproof and a second chance if you should be killed with it on the battlefield for 5 mana....
it also is pretty complex with a really fresh effect.
everything in the card screams mythic for me.
mythic doesn't straight up means "tournament playable card" , hell Worst Fears is mythic.... and a SUPER BAD one in constructed.
but mythic nevertheless.

Everything about it to me screams, card that shouldn't have been mythic and will barely, if at all, see any play outside of the unlucky people who get it in their packs for sealed/draft. Straight to the binder where it'll live out it's days.
It's exactly cards like this that's a reason why I prefer just buying singles.

fix Is emergence zone effects you get the flip when they think they got you with a Craterhoof behemoth effect
you successfully get to your turn just simply cast Oketra's Last Mercy or Resolute Angel then ypur swinging for 80 in commander
