it makes sense in flavor of the card and the plane, and does look like her, so I'd agree

RnD during Time Spiral:
Rosewater: "Color Pie, WTF is that, If I want Black to be able to wrath, counter and have green creatures then I will damnit!"
Random RnD guy: "RED AKORMA! FTW!"
Gleemax: "Rosewater has broken out of my mind control!"
RnD after 2008:
MaRo: Hmm how do we fix the problems of pricing with cards like Tarmogoyf and Thoughtsieze
Random RnD Guy: OO lets make a new RED RARITY SYMBOL!
MARO: OMGWTFBBQ! Thats a great idea, we'll call it Mythic Rarity!
Gleemax: NOT AGAIN! CELEB
There is a thread saying exactly the same thing in the Speculation forum. I will say the same thing I said there. The angel in the art for Grasp of Darkness could be any angel. Mirrodin's angels have a very distinctive look that was laid down by the style guide. Pristine Angel and Luminous Angel for comparison. I believe that Sunblast Angel is an evolution of the mirrodin white angel in the same way the mana myr evolved from Mirrodin to Scars. Leaden Myr.
All that being said, I have always thought that Pristine Angel would make a good core set card.
Edit: Is it just me, or has Argent Sphinx escaped from Esper?

"A Plague on All Your Houses!" - Thespian's Stage Pox
Good eye, dude. I don't think she's coming back though. There's a lot of art and flavor text references to old cards from Mirrodin:
Prototype Portal - that's a Staff of Dominion in there!
Copperhorn Scout - apparently, these sound better than [card=fangren firstborn[/card]
Carrion Call - mmm, Tel-Jilad WOlf...
"Stoned players can't attack, block, or play spells or abilities."
Good catch, excellent flavor, but I doubt it's coming back.
This, and that's where it belongs. Closed.
