Our white legend.
I honestly don't know what to think. Triple White is difficult, though she can come out pretty early. She has to ability to protect other creatures (and players), but not herself. Possibly strong against burn, but seems too slow. I don't see much application for her to be honest. But I do like the artwork.

Imagine the kingmaker possibilities! (I mean, for those of you who like to play kingmaker).

Grrr...
How dare they turn Avacyn into a dollar rare? At least make another creature indestructible or something. Very disappointed

@ Unforgivn_II exactly my thoughts... I don't think this card will be any better than bulk :(

It's not only the abilities; the artwork of this Avacyn is just 'meh' compared to her Innistrad depictions :/

She should be a limited bomb. I mean, its basically Serra Angel with +1/+0 and some upside. But otherwise, she's straight disgraceful. I love Avacyn too, so its hard for me to see her like this.

Could work well in 2 headed giant but still this is a massive disappointment. :/

Shame. A lot of this set is a shame. All the soul cards are mythic rarity and do literally nothing when you play them - they require another investment for that. Lame. Utterly lame. The concerned player expect ETBs on rares and mythics in a format dominated by cheap removal

She seems pretty meh. I am intrigued what can be done in conjunction with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx though. Spamming that damage prevention can allow for an aggressive line of play, attacking fearlessly into any army. The player damage prevention gives mono-white another way to handle Stormbreath Dragon , albeit a desperate and inefficient way.

@Rasta_Viking29: I'd rather just use Brave the Elements than her first ability, and if I have to dump 7 mana for her second ability, I'm probably already about to lose.
