So... which Angels are likely candidates?
fluffybunnypants says... #3
Probably either or both Akromas (Akroma, Angel of Fury and Akroma, Angel of Wrath). Also Avacyn, Angel of Hope. Maybe Selenia, Dark Angel.
Over/under on Entreat the Angels being included?

Original Avacyn, Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Restoration Angel most def, and I wouldn't mind Archangel of Thune

They were printed recently, but I can't imagine a FTV: Angels w/o Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Sigarda, Host of Herons and Bruna, Light of Alabaster...

Iona, Shield of Emeria, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Akroma, Angel of Wrath, Akroma, Angel of Fury, Adarkar Valkyrie and Angel of Despair are all fairly iconic choices from magic's past.

Iona, Shield of Emeria Linvala, Keeper of Silence would be nice... But its good to dream.
What about the art on the announcement page? Thoughts about that? I was thinking maybe new art for Angel of Despair.
February 16, 2015 11:01 a.m.
Selenia, Dark Angel, Baneslayer Angel,Radiant, Archangel (who I feel should have been 
due to her character in the book, she was defenatly NOT pure ), a original art done in full art Serra Angel not just the bust would be cool Desolation Angel would be cool to

35$ ftv :O I'm in. Or is this msrp for them all?
February 16, 2015 11:26 a.m.
The msrp is for the box however I've yet to see a FTV for sale for less than $100 but he'll yea I'll spend $35 for it if it has the right angel or 3 in it

notamardybum says... #12
is the art on the announcement the new baneslayer art :O
35 for this shit sounds like a steal.

HolyFalcon says... #13
wish we could buy straight from wizards so we can pay msrp for mm15 too.
February 16, 2015 11:41 a.m.
If Avacyn, Angel of Hope isn't in it, wotc deserves to go out of business. Also Sublime Archangel and Archangel of Thune and Platinum Angel
February 16, 2015 11:53 a.m.
I can't believe it took 8 posts for someone to raise Baneslayer Angel
February 16, 2015 12:16 p.m.
HolyFalcon says... #17
ChiefBell and 8 for someone to name Serra Angel, the first ever angel.
February 16, 2015 12:22 p.m.
"Iona, Shield of Emeria Linvala, Keeper of Silence would be nice... But its good to dream."
So putting Jace, the Mind Sculptor into FTV:20 was okay, but Iona in Angels would be out of line?
February 16, 2015 12:28 p.m.
praying for avacyn, iona, and linvala i will finally be able to finish my angel deck with those three. not holding my breath though we will be lucky to see one in 3 id be alright with seeing a thune however
February 16, 2015 12:33 p.m.
they will print a serra just to make her further overprinted and almost unplayable but its art might be cool, wouldnt mind seeing baneslayer but she is really not all that good imo, akroma wrath in a print thats not ancient/super expensive would be nice, akromas memorial would actually be really dope.

I bet we are going too see 15 Serra Angels, but that's just me.

Hjaltrohir says... #22
I agree that flavor wise, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Bruna, Light of Alabaster and Sigarda, Host of Herons are almost guaranteed. I also think that one of the big three (Avacyn, Angel of Hope , Iona, Shield of Emeria and Linvala, Keeper of Silence) are also likely as well as Serra Angel, Akroma, Angel of Wrath and Shattered Angel\Fallen Angel.
February 16, 2015 1:28 p.m.
Ooh a foil original art Fallen Angel would be so awesome I'd have to get it just for that (I have a legends one but they did not do foils till much later)
February 16, 2015 1:31 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #25
Serious potential here. Hopefully they make up for the last one.
I am gonna guess Vault of the Archangel, Luminarch Ascension, Entreat the Angels. Avacyn, Iona, Serra, Fallen.
I am guessing no more then 2 of the money angels. Even thought they should do more.
And linvala will be in MM2. That is my guess.
February 16, 2015 1:56 p.m.
nighthawk101 says... #26
My speculation as to the 15:
Not actually Angel creatures, but... Geist of Saint Traft, Luminarch Ascension, and Entreat the Angels.
Actual Angels that could be printed include Chancellor of the Annex, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Restoration Angel, Tariel, Reckoner of Souls, Platinum Angel, Akroma, Angel of Fury, Akroma, Angel of Wrath, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Gisela, blade of goodnight, Sigarda, Host of Herons, and Bruna, Light of Alabaster.
Other possibilities include Aurelia, the Warleader, Serra Angel, Angel of Despair, Fallen Angel, Indomitable Archangel, Karmic Guide, and Serra Avenger.
February 16, 2015 2:10 p.m.
I just realized Avacyn, Angel of Hope is like $30...is she really this popular lol? That's more than Griselbrand, who is the same rarity and from the same set. Not to mention, sees way more play. Granted, he was a Grand Prix promo, but that doesn't justify a $10+ difference.
I guess Kaalia of the Vast is just super popular.

The angel in that picture is definitely Twilight Shepherd. She has the same swords and vail over her eyes
February 16, 2015 2:57 p.m.
Well thinking about it I think they almost have to do so at least 1 angel of/Including each color and colorless so with that said Bruna is the only angel I know of that has 
in it and platinum angel is the only colorless angel worth the cardboard she is printed on but I can see them printing Copper-Leaf Angel just for the "why print this over Platinum Angel?" I also think the boros angel is too new to print as the red angel so maybe the red akroma green could be sigarda or maybe something old and obtuse like Gabriel Angelfire and well black has several to choose from

My Kaalia deck is crying tears of joy right now. If they don't print Iona, Linvala, or Avacyn I will boycott wizards forever lol.

I would like to see the angels from avacyn restored

Skalle_the_Reckless says... #34
Baneslayer Angel is practically a given. It's probably the most popular angel in Magic. Iona, Shield of Emeria, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and either Akroma (personally, I'm hoping for Akroma, Angel of Fury) seem most likely.
I want Fallen Angel with new artwork.

Wizards likes doing new stuff, and 'blowing our minds'.
During the last Commander printing, there were lots of 'Why wasn't Serra the white legendary?' with answers mostly coming down to 'Reasons.'
I'm thinking Wizards is going to introduce a new card with this FTV. I'm thinking they're going to finally introduce us to Serra.
Beyond that, Serra Angel is a given. Also, at least an angel with every colour. And trying for an enchantment, a sorcery, an artifact, and an instant (are there any Angelic instants?) Akroma's Memorial over Platinum Angel for the artifact slot, I'm thinking.
February 17, 2015 6:36 a.m.
We might as well as brace for some stupid stuff like Serra Angel and Angel's Tomb, cuz wizards hates its customers and thinks we all want another copy of cards we have dozens of already.

FreddyFlash311 says... #41
I know it's a "Never Gonna Happen", but I'd pay out the nose for a redo of the Revised Serra Angel. Add the FTV logo for the set, make it foil, maybe improve the print quality if possible, but leave the rest 100% as it was then.
February 17, 2015 8:23 p.m.
Skalle_the_Reckless says... #42
Angel's Tomb won't happen. It wasn't that memorable when it was in Standard, and it doesn't get played much now, if at all. As for Serra Angel, it seems unlikely, given that it's been in nearly every core set.
February 17, 2015 8:28 p.m.
Hjaltrohir says... #43
Skalle_the_Reckless there has to be some low-value angels in FTV or wizars would be losing money selling it at 35 MSRP. Also, Serra Angel is a very likely candidate as she was the first ever angel, its for the flavor.

ANGELS :D :D I LOVE ALL THE ANGELS................................I am buying like 50 of these things

Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Entreat the Angels, pleaseeeeeee, I literally saw this and freaked the hell out, angels=life all my decks=based around angels, best FTV world

Unfortunately, my lady-friend, Archangel of Thune will probably not see the like of shiny reprint.
All of the iconic Angels will be there, both Akromas, Baneslayer, Avacyn Restored ones. Entreat the Angels will almost certainly be there.
February 18, 2015 4:01 a.m.
Well I was going to buy Avacyn, Angel of Hope for my EDH deck this week. Now I will wait and hold onto hope for a not-$100+ foil version later this year. There are so many cool angles they can put in here. I'm hoping there's a Serra Angel hanging out there too. I love that card, regardless of how Vanilla it is.
Would also love to see Platinum Angel, Aurelia, the Warleader, Baneslayer Angel, and while I'm not rooting to see these others as much, I wouldn't be upset by the appearance of either of the other Expensive angels - Iona and Linvala, along with the any of the other Avacyn Restored Mythics.
I have a U/W Angel EDH deck that's just waiting for these babies to show up on the market.

jraynor technically, Serra Angel is not vanilla as it has flying.
February 18, 2015 12:04 p.m.
Yeah, but despite having un-vanilla-like traits like Flying and Vigilance, it IS white and you know what else is white? Vanilla Ice Cream. So There awesomeguy37 !
But really, It's silly but of all the angels out there to choose from, Serra Angel and Seraph of Dawn are definitely in my top 10 favorites even though they're not constructed playable. I guess that's what I meant.
cosmokai2000 says... #2
Probs Akroma, Angel of Fury or Akroma, Angel of Wrath. I could see Radiant, Archangel and Karmic Guide being options
