I saw this and wanted to share. I know Eminence is a touchy subject but I felt this was done very well.
If Eminence was more balanced like this, do you think it would be better and see printing again? Or is this even still too broken?

I wouldn't say I love eminence, but do think it gets an undeserved reputation. It's only got one competitive commander, at the end of the day, so I'm perfectly fine with this sort of thing.

This art is awesome. Angel decks have been some of my favs since back when Serra Angel was a worldbeater : ) and I feel like the ability is very well balanced. Convoke has always been the, well this is actually fair, way to reduce mana costs, and there aren't too many low cmc angels, so I like it. I also love that it turns Universal Automaton into Llanowar Elves, at least kinda.

This is a powerful design, but it seems appropriately balanced by the fact that most angels have CMC4 and up.
Then again, if you build your deck correctly, this effectively turns Raise the Alarm into something thast would normally cost 4 or 5 mana. Just imagine Even the Odds or something similar. Pretty, pretty powerful.
Love the name, btw.
