I know someone's going to complain they powercreeped Angelic Gift with a flying lizard or something. It's an inane argument, but it'll happen.
The second card is yet another in the line of Heroic Intervention lookalikes in white. This time, you get protected too, so the indestructible mode gets thrown under a gifted card paywall.
Okay, I'll admit I don't actually know this... What are the rules on a creature gaining flying in response to blocks?
I assume that once blockers are declared the creature remains blocked even if they gain flying? If so this feels like a pretty weak upgrade.
Barring a couple cards that can actually change blockers, yes - once blocked, the creature is blocked.
As for the weak upgrade - you're only looking at one possible situation. This gives both Flash and +1/0.
It's a pretty good upgrade if the opponent swings with a flying creature and you need a blocker (flash in response to attack).
Or if you attack, thinking they have no blockers, but then they flash in a ground creature, so you give your attacker flying in response.

Not bad for no additional cost.
Yes, I did miss the blocking piece, and somehow also the power boost.
okay dawn truce is straight up better in my opinion
the exact same cost, throws in hexproof for you, the indestructible is optional if necessary and most importantly it still gets every single permanent like heroic
Yeah, that truce is insta-classic in commander. You can choose someone else than the player that was trying to demolish you to get the card. I mean, you save your stuff *and* get a political bargaining chip? Sounds good to me.
