When Angel of Grace enters the battlefield, until end of turn, damage that would reduce your life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead.
{4ww}, Exile Angel of Grace from your graveyard: Your life total becomes 10
In case new players don't know what the obvious name is based on...
Sure, it's a 5/4 flier for 3W, but considering the critical situations people use the effect for, I'd say outside of Standard (which has no choice anyway), the split second is so much more important (also, this doesn't cover other game loss conditions), although I guess EDH wouldn't hurt for redundancy considering its restrictions...
Reminds me of exquisite Archangel. Just quite better though. Can turn things around quickly & guarantees to safe you. Surprise-blocker + finisher-roles covered too.
I just don't think her activated ability will ever save you.
I'll keep an eye out on her
This thing is brutal, flash means it's going to eat a threat, and gaining 10 is worth a card against a lot of decks, this could easily be a 3-1. It's probably better than lyra right now because it has flash, which means you don't lose a lot of tempo to ravenous Chupacabra (although it's still bad against chups).
Forget the other abilities, it's an aggressively costed 5/4 flyer with flash. That's playable by itself. The other abilities will have their uses but this is a solid card.

Wow, I read the thread title and was sure this would be a reprint of some uncommon limited-only angel I had seen a hundred times before but couldn't quite recall the full card... guess I was wrong
will see standard play, it's interesting enough to play on kitchen table, is a limited bomb....
great card is great.
this is what happens when you design good cards, not those "might be alright on sealed" atrocities.. lol.

I agree. Sheesh. I like the reflection back to older cards as well. It's a nice touch of flavor.
If you ever get to simply reset your life to 10 , that alone can be enough for a control deck to take over.

It does compete with Lyra and other crazy pushed white 5 drops , but flash is something that could justify its inclusion.
