The RW-looking angel (second from the bottom) is dual-wielding swords; that's usually used as a visual cue for Double Strike in Magic art. Could be another indicator of her being RW...
YES!!!!
AVR will have cycle on Angel, it makes me really wet
(:symw::symu:/:symw::symb:/:symw::symr:/:symw::symg:)
and now i am greedy, i hope there will be an angel for every color pairs

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"
Um... I'm going to go ahead and not assume that any of these angels are multicolored just because of the color palettes used in their art. Or do we not remember the "Elspeth Tirel will be GW!!!" predictions a couple of years ago? Or URTezzeret, Agent of Bolas, for that matter?

Totally calling Avacyn as W/B. Her master and creator is W/B, and her art also reflects this. With how she can be totally unstoppable, she can either be a blinking or a resurrecting angel, or some form of protection from certain sources.

This. Nissa was definitely G/B if I remember correctly also... Basing guesses off of the art is a losing endeavor.
They'll probably have either some synergy with their respective alignments, or maybe even abilities that have use secondary color as either a cost or part of the effect.
There have been many, many, many more examples where this sort of speculation has been wrong (Elspeth, Tezzeret, etc.) than where it turned out to be correct (Sorin).
I'm thinking Avacyn is :symb::symw: and the other three angels are, from top to bottom, :symu::symw:, :symr::symw:, and :symg::symw:
if i was forced to speculate on their color solely on their art this would be my theory too.
that said theres too many examples of art not being indicative of color.
regardless, i want all of these, and i want them to be decently playable without being high in price so i can make edh decks around them because i like most of the art that much
And to top it off, next week's Savor the Flavor involves a certain Cathedral, with a certain chunk of silver, with a certain archangel trapped therein. HMM!
Anyone who thought the straight dark theme would continue wasn't paying much attention. The tagline is "Ignite the Dawn", after all Though Griselbrand is pretty epic.
The angels theme was hinted someplace before, too: "Flights of angels filling the sky" or something similar.
that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur
Thanks WOTC!!!
I think I will save a lot of money...a LOT!
I love angels, I really love them! And know we will have playmats, deckboxes, sleeves and of course a set full of angels. I hope they will be playable. If they are WOTC will get my money without a doubt!
And I still can't grasp why WOTC continues to snob us Angel Collectors.
Want more money WOTC? FTV: Angels, that's where it's at!

Two swords doesn't necessarily mean double strike. Look at Indomitable Archangel, Angel of Light, Adarkar Valkyrie, Serra Advocate. What it DOES MEAN is that she WILL have some sweet ass ability.:thumbsup:
JAMMIT DIM! I'm a DOCTOR not a DECKBUILDER!
also, boo for what I can only assume are generic angels.

Totally makes up for the crappy news that the block novel line is shelved. I need to save up for these babies.

While that is true, there have been plenty of pictures showing us the cards color(s) while others have been misleading in that regard.
I must admit having more angels of any combination of red, white, or black would be fun.
I shall start the crazy talk that there will be some blue and green angels/demons just because they can.

Because the art looks better that way, I guess. There are plenty of other UltraPro sleeves with landscape-oriented art (Elesh Norn, for example).

Also really excited about the plethora of angels coming. Ooh, 7 mythic angels please? No, we'll probably get some Shepherd of the Lost equivalents.

The angels look really stunning. Definitely buying myself those playmats.

I'm pretty excited for this set---sounds like an awesome theme. (I started playing in Urza's Legacy, with Serra Sanctum, Congregate, Radiant, Archangel and Serra Avatar, so a little nostalgia bias in there ;D).

Start buying your standard-legal Angel cards now...
