I know. Might as well ask for Damnation, Mana Drain, and Goyf too... just strap some wings on there and let Wayne Reynolds toss some chest-thrust in the mix and BAM!!!! Angels.
People really don't understand how the curve of these things works.
1-2 - Utter trash.
4-5 - Cards that see play or are desired by collectors but not really worth much.
4-5 - Cards that are only worth something because they were printed in a small set a long long time ago.... that will crash when reprinted.
4-5 - Cards that people actually want and will play with in their pet format - mostly Cube and EDH.
1-2 - All-starts holding down the value fort for those to overpaid for it.
Well a few weeks ago people "just" wanted Avacyn Akroma Iona and Tariel.
Not to mention, there hasn't been a dedicated spoiler article yet, aside from the Arcana teasers. Linvala would seem like a bomb-y enough draw to preview in their full spoiler article (presumably tomorrow). Think it can go either that way, or full spoiler Arcana with "here's the rest of em!" filler cards to disappoint everyone.
Not speaking for myself though, coincidentally I wanted Akroma/Avacyn/Iona from the start, so I'm more than satisfied.
Hmmm I was also going to suggest Admonition Angel as sorta a zendikar promotion thing but guess that one is out. They could do Emeria Angel instead
I feel like Baneslayer, Entreat the Angels and Restoration Angel are all good options

SonofaBith - Wizards was so excited about making the packaging for Modern Masters 2 recyclable, they decided to make most of the rares and all but 1 of the UC's recycle-bin ready too. Convenient!
In several FTV sets, there's been "that one card" that a lot of people really wanted to see included. Xiahou Dun in Legends, Karakas in Realms,Damnation in Annihilation, and now Linvala in Angels. None of the first three were included in their respective FTV sets and were instead released as Judge promos. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Linvala gets the same treatment and pops up as a judge promo in the near future.

I think Avacyn would've been the #1 expectation before Linvala. With her being in exceptionally early, that wish was already fulfilled.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras. Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power. Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza. Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall. Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana. Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die. Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
My only other wants are Baneslayer Angel and a Starlit Angel in the new border. Baneslayer only if it brings down the price of the original a little...
Starlit won't be in. Can't fit in the number crunch anymore due to Serra Angel and Tariel taking 14 and 15.

Just doing a search of "rare-ish" angels I would not mind Warrior Angel (assuming no reserved list), Voice of All, Seraph or maybe Adarkar Valkyrie. None of those would break the bank and none of them are massively sought after but would fit the overall theme.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
No, but Warrior Angel and Voice of All are already out. There can be no card after Serra Angel in anymore due to Serra and Tariel being the last 2 cards in the set.
In the same vein, Adarkar Valkyrie won't be in either, because Akroma is nr 1.

Given that it's already a mythic AND from a set that MM2 didn't cover, that doesn't quite surprise me.
It will, of course, be MM3's marque white Mythic.

Oh, the truth. We want mooooooar!! MOOOOAAARRR!!
We want WotC to take that crappy Guay Serra Angel out of the FtV and replace it with freaking Alpha Serra Angels!
And we want our Alpha Serras foiled too!

@PopJP, At first I thought you were dying because I wanted only 3 more Angels but now understand that it was because the other three angles I want are rather great angels.
@Galspanic, Actually I was not aware of that. I always have liked FTV products but have never bought a box. The only reason I have shown real interest in FTV: Angel's is because I won a box at my local game store, through a raffle, and am rather excited.

Because you want to see 8 pages of MTGS threatening to riot? God, I'd love to see that.

The only way this would be acceptable if it comes with GLORIOUS, MIND BLOWING new art.
Else, riots indeed.
At last, a voice of reason!
I think they really missed an opportunity by not upgrading its rarity to Mythic and printing it in Modern Masters 2.

Wow, it was already a mythic? Such goodness. I guess it's also too soon for that much-needed Trait Doctoring reprint.
