Of all the colors, white should not be the one with the best five drop in the standard.
No White shouldn't have the best 5 drop PEROID.... Big (and mid range) creatures are GREENS domain. Green gets the best cretures... white gets the best utility creatures (think trap master and Master Healer and any of the "deals 1 damage to target attacking or blocking creature" dudes) and "second" best weenies. Black can get either of the above IF it pays for it with something else (life, land, horrable downsides ect) Red gets the Fast but horrably unreliable creatures and blue isn't saposta get ANY creatures of any quality at all. (they get Good spells instead)
I hope she gets reprinted. White deserves a flashy finisher that's actually playable. People whining about a card will always whine about everything. Doesn't matter what the next "chase" card is in M11, people will compain for another year.
Her price would drop, especially if she were the promo.
I don't own or plan to obtain BSAs but I feel like it would bad design/development to have influential cards only show up for one year. Then again, there is probably a degree of ridiculousness at which this becomes moot.
That degree of ridiculousness is where cards get banned, though.
They should never have printed Baneslayer Angel, but having done so, they probably need to reprint her at least once. Now is the natural time, since we're used to it; bringing her back out in a couple years would be a disaster.

Remember Figure of Destiny? That card was the inspiration for the level-up mechanic. -Wizards
Accept the truth.
All I can say is, Brian David-Marshall and Mike Turian were gunslinging at our local ROE prerelease. After playing a game with BDM in which he had to scoop early to go for a photo-op, I played Mike Turian. I spent both matches watching him play very carefully, trying to get a feel for his 'tell'-- you know, the little things people do when they're surprised, bluffing, outright lying, being deceptive, etc.
Afterwards, as we debated what the first pick out of the pack I won off him would be, I asked him if he knew what cards were going to be reprinted in M11. He told me he knew the answer, so I asked him first about Baneslayer, then about Elspeth. While of course he replied that he couldn't tell me, judging from his tone and expression, I believe BSA might see reprint. I couldn't really tell from his answer on Elspeth (I think he realized what I was trying to do at that point).

A quick gatherer search for "regenerate" turns up nothing, closest thing would be River Boa...
Given that Consume the Meek and Smother have just been printed (or re-printed) I think the "make regeneration matter more" argument doesn't really hold anymore anyway. I'd still guess at DOJ being in M11 though, rather than Wrath of God, simply because there are so many *** in circulation already and players are much more likely not have DOJ playsets.

I think it'd be fine if she was reprinted, but if her availability was increased, through being the (Pre-)Release promo, and/or changing her to a rare.
They stated a long time ago that they'd never reprint a card at a lower rarity than it was when it originally appeared. AFAIK, that's held up. So, once a mythic, always a mythic.

Serra Angel (and Sengir Vampire, and Hypnotic Specter, and Clone) was originally an uncommon back in A/B/U but then were not reprinted in the core set for a few years. When they were brought back they were made rares, and in the case of Serra it was reduced back to an uncommon, because let's face it - in a set with BSA Serra looks pathetic as a rare.
Having said that I wouldn't care if they reprinted BSA or not, if they do then maybe it will be more affordable for the people that don't have them and it will give me another year of beating face with mine

Look at my name...what did you expect?
Thank you WOTC for introducing the Modern format, a format where all the whiners can enjoy a level playing field and where they can play with none of the best cards of all time!
HELL NO! for a couple of reasons
1) It's broken beyond belief
2) For all you baneslayer lovers that hope its going to be reprinted so that its gonna lower the price, its not. Because theres only going to be another massive sprawl to get playsets.
3) Mono white doesn't need it. It's got elspeth and Gideon, need i say more?
4) Halo Hunter is useless.
5) ITS BROKEN!
because of those reasons, it is not going to be reprinted

(1) and (5) are directly contradictory with (3). If Baneslayer is broken as hell, then losing it would constitute a reduction in White's power level. If Gideon and Elspeth are just as good, it isn't broken beyond belief. Incidentally, few decks even run Baneslayer anymore; it's really not as good as its reputation. But even if it was, some cards need to be above the curve.
(2) represents a fundamental lack of understanding of market economics. Demand won't be increased much with a reprint because type 2 players who need a Baneslayer post-M11 probably needed one pre-M11. Meanwhile, having M11 drafted/opened/purchased will provide another supply of the card. This drives the price down. How much is anyone's guess, but Baneslayer's price will fall once we get close to M11 (either because rotation is imminent - and BSA is not a major extended or eternal card) or because supply is about to increase substantially.
(4) is a non sequitur. Halo Hunter is useless because there are no playable angels which it hits. Removing Baneslayer Angel won't result in Admonition Angel being played.
And finally, you've given only reasons why you don't want it reprinted, not reasons why it won't be reprinted.

This is interesting - actually pretty close to my thought processes in trading mine in yesterday. Whichever way M11 goes, the BSA's price will drop by a fair chunk in July.
