FTV: Angels

Postby Asthanius » 20 Jul 2015, 08:44

We already know that both versions of Akroma are going to be included in the FTV, but what else it going to be there?

Personally, I think that Wizards pretty much has to include Platinum Angel, Baneslayer Angel, and Serra Angel, as they're some of the most well-known angels in Magic, but that's only 5 out of 15 angels.

Other than maybe Avacyn (probably the first one), what other angels would Wizards include?

EDIT: I almost forgot about the key art. What card could this be?

I vaguely remember people saying that's likely the art for Twilight Shepherd. Personally, I think one version of Avacyn will make it in. Hopefully the good one, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the 'cheap' version. I'd love for all three of the other AVR angels to show up too (Gisela, Bruna, and Sigarda).

I wouldn't be surprised to see Exalted Angel, probably using the Judge Foil art:

Restoration Angel is still relevant for some things, wouldn't be surprised to see it in there.

Linvala is also a possibility.

Looking through the list of options, there's a lot of junk...

As for cards that aren't actually angels, Angelic Destiny seems likely. Decree of Justice or Entreat the Angels maybe (but probably not both). Luminarch Ascension and Moonsilver Spear seem possible, but not particularly likely.

If they want to troll, they can print some of the terrible cards from AVR... I'm sure people would love to open up their FtV to get a Voice of the Provinces and a Scroll of Avacyn... :P

Seraph Sanctuary seems not bad, and neither does Angel's Tomb.

There is non-zero amount of chance that this will be the first FtV I get

The big thing to remember about the FTV series, is that they try to make sure each color is represented. Now FTV: Angels is going to be White heavy, and we know two of the cards: Akroma, Angel of Wrath and Akroma, Angel of Fury with sweet Terese Neilsen art.

Cards I'd like to see are: Aurelia, the Warleader; Linvala, Keeper of Silence; Magister of Worth; and Platinum Angel.

The color thing is part of why I'm holing out hope for the AVR angels. Get some other colors in there. Though I'm not sure they'd want to have 4 angels from the same set in the FtV. Deathpact Angel could also make an appearance to help give black something, though I'm sure there are other (and likely better) angelic choices.

Of course, original Avacyn was revealed to be in the FtV, as was Iona. So now we have four confirmed angels, five if you count the key art since it does look similar to Twilight Shepherd.

I've never paid attention to the FTV sets, are these all gonna be alt arts? If not, I'll just stick to buying singles since 90% of angels don't go above $2.

That said, Reya Dawnbringer and Andrakaar Valkyrie. Two of the lesser known but best angels in my opinion. A flying, half way Sheoldred and an angel that allows you to just flunge and then go "Tap and undo my half of the board wipe." afterward?

I could speculate much better if I knew if they were alt arts, expensive older cards or just an assortment of cards. I love me some angels, I've memorized practically every angel pre-Innistrad block, but so many of them simply aren't worth more than 50c let alone the normal retail of an FTV of like $150 AUD.

FTV's usually don't have all alternate art, but so far we've seen 3 alt arts with the key art not having a card yet. This is also a way to put older cards into the hands of the wanting public. For example, Rolling Thunder in FTV: Annihilation was only printed in Portal before being in FTV.

We also know for a fact that Avacyn isn't alt-art. Which I'm perfectly fine with. It already has quite a few expensive angels that I wanted in foil.
