Aurelia, the Vindicator

So I posted her in the Custom Card Forum, but I know not a lot of users on the site venture into there. That's why I am making her own page. Also she only got like 2 or 3 upvotes lol.

Yup, I'm aware that she can't become a Planeswalker because she doesn't have a spark. This is because she is an Angel, which according to MTG lore is far more akin to being an Elemental than a living being. Angels are essentially compressed mana given sentience. Mostly white mana, but other blends are included. Because Angels aren't technically alive, they don't technically have the capacity for a spark.

Aurelia has always been my favorite Angel in MTG. Might have to do with her being like the 3rd mythic I ever opened but who's to say.

I wanted to capture who she is and what she stands for, as a theoretical Planeswalker.

Hope you enjoyed! ^_^

OH! The artwork is borrowed from the card Demand Answers, which I used cropped and resized :)

I am very fond of angels, so I like your design, very much, but I feel that this card has too much text; having her be both a creature and planeswalker is rather complicated, so I feel that it would be better for her to have an ability that transforms her into a creature, as do most incarnations of Gideon.

Also, her first ability can be used indefinitely, dealing a greater amount of damage, each time, so I feel that ability should be either a negative loyalty ability or deal a fixed amount of damage.

Her second and third abilities are slightly redundant, so it may be better to change one of them into something else.

Please do not think that I dislike your design, as I think that it is an excellent one, but perhaps some minor revisions could help to make it slightly less wordy and also less complicated, so I do hope that you appreciate my feedback!
