Ahhhh, is it just me or does Avacyn look a little like Angel of Despair, Fallen Angel, and Selenia, Dark Angel? She has the white down, but the black clothes, eye liner, boots, and lipstick tell me she might have a dark side.
Sorin's just a little bit egocentric, so his Angel looks like him (dark eyes, black armor, pale face and skin, white hair). That's part of his decision as an Angel-designer, not something that speaks to her colours.
For those who keep using Vault (it's been corrupted by her absence, not generally black) and her creator (her purpose involves absolutely no Black idealogies) as evidence she's Black, then peh. But for those who use appearance, I have this for you; Angelic Overseer is an Innistradi angel, and features dark eyes, black as a minor costume theme, and black battle-armor. Yet she's very obviously White.
+1 to Avacyn being mono-white. The contrasting black just makes her look better as artwork, which is important when ~50% of your card is artwork.

I see your point now. If the Vault is corrupted it makes sense. But Angelic Overseer has A LOT of white in her clothes. The only thing white on Avacyn would be her wings, though they appear very shadowy. I am not saying she is definitely going to be some combination of black and white, all I am saying is the first thing that popped into my head is that something is wrong here. Why is she not all in white and glowing from within if this is truly her triumphant return to the plane that worships her?
If Avacyn is B/W then I really think she will create Angel tokens. Tokens seem to be the B/W theme of the block.
A 5/5 flyer with vigilance and protection from demons that puts out 2 4/4 angel tokens with flying when she enters the battlefield. Make her cost 6 mana I guess, and she's legendary and mythic.

So 13 power for 6 mana? not happening. If she put out tokens, it would probably a triggered ability (a creature dying). Also I feel since she is the centerpiece, the save thy world figure, etc. She is going to have either Indestructible or shuffle in library when she dies.

Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
There won't be a BW angel because the other three are leaders of the flights and there isn't a BW flight.
Not to complicate matters, but are will really sure about that? I mean, there might be fluff that comes right out and states that there are only three flights, but I can't remember it.

The ISD PW guide only mentions three flights.
It would be pretty lame to just say "oh hey by the way there's this other flight of angels we've never mentioned" when AVR comes out.

Ah, I do remember reading that now. What if the there were actually four flights, but the last one was forgotten (on purpose) because they became corrupt or something. FlopItOut's "Rogue Angel" idea could also be a possibility.
We've had black/white angels in the past. A fallen angel/angel traitor to the demons would make sense. Or a zombie angel. That might revolutionize the entire zombie industry [/OOTS].

Would you trade with me?

so i think the first will be :symw::symu:
and the red haired will be :symw::symr:
Makes sense to me, and then no B/W angel. That probably wouldn't make sense.

It would be pretty lame to just say "oh hey by the way there's this other flight of angels we've never mentioned" when AVR comes out.
doesn't have to be a flight
a 4th "rogue angel" would be kind of cool and would finish the cycle. it would be an easy addition to the story line as well.
"sorin first attempt to create an angel to guard innistrad didn't work as she was corrupted with black mana herp derp derp...."
