You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
Sad to see that it is not Feather who makes the angel tokens.
On the other hand I can't stop myself from laughing every time Edgar Markov will make an angel token instead of a vampire token, while Sorin is on the battlefield with a big grin on his face
Sorin: "U mad, gramps? Why don't you call the Bloodlines?...Ooooops! I'll just use my ultimate and - oh, look, a whole army of Angels! Well whaddya know?"

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Except Rite of the Raging Storm the sacrifice effect is on the token not on the effect which the token is created. So I can keep the Angel, right?
That's a good one. Yeah you are right correct, since the sacrifice ability is on the elemental tokens created, you (and your opponents) will get to keep the angel tokens.

My opponent should get the normal Elemental or shouldn't they? The new enchantment says "under your control". Thinking about that... when someone using Curse of the Swine, Beast Within like cards against someone with the enchantment on the field. That player should get Angels instead, too.
Your opponents would get the normal tokens.
The other poster was incorrect about the sacrifice though. You alter what token is created, but it still keeps all gained attributes of what created it including trample, haste and the sacrifice ability.

Just, yikes. The first one gives every spell storm? Damn...
The second is interesting, maybe not something I'd always want (since I do make tokens greater than 4/4 or clone tokens at times), but, wait, this means, casting Increasing Devotion now gives me enough power to finish you off in one turn.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Which reminds me, why isn't Thousand-Year Storm a LEGENDARY ENCHANTMENT NAMED PROJECT LIGHTNING BUG. It's not like you need more than 1 copy of this card to break it already, just give it the Legendary status it deserves.

If your Commander format is so fast that a 5 mana enchantment is too slow, then 99.9% of all new cards will also be too slow.

I thought about this. I think the home for it is Burn, not UR storm.
