I was satisfied. The die was honestly the best part.
This. The cards are nice to own, but I really don't need then in any of my decks. On the other hand, I'll have so much time to appreciate the dice throughout my games.
Won a raffle at my LGS and got one at MSRP. Worth every penny. The foil entreat is going into Hanna, many others are going into Radiant (along with the not foil Enreat from Hanna).
I just wish I could've had them sooner so the Akromas could've been signed by Neilson like my judge Hanna.
Been able to slot 8 out of the 15 cards in my various decks. The remaining 7 are nice to trade off for assorted deck requirements.
Feels good man.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
I was able to get 3 for MSRP from three different stores, as they didn't allow multiple copies for customers. Not hoarding though, the other two are for friends.
The Akromas, Entreat the Angels, Exalted Angel, and Serra Angel all look exceptional with the foil imo.
i was kind of worried they wouldn't look as good as i thought, but ya they were amazing. Also loved Iridescent and Aurelia who look wonderful as well.
Y'all making me jealous getting it at MSRP, though $61 didn't seem so bad. IDK.
Most of this went into decks already. What's left does indeed make good trade fodder. That said, the Rebecca Guay Serra Angel is the highlight of this product of me.
Oh and as a $150 oversized card that couldn't be played in decks before, it's actually the rarest reprint too.

I'm still disappointed that we didn't get a Starlit Angel with the Chinese art, but I guess we can't have everything.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
So I got mine yesterday for $65 plus 10 for shipping, and I'm overall pretty satisfied. Even though I do prefer my own non-foiled versions of Avacyn, Entreat the Angels, Iona, Aurelia, and Archangel of Strife, I don't at all mind having these. I think the only card I was a bit disappointed with is how Iridescent Angel turned out. As a few others have said, I can understand how the "splotchiness" of the foil can turn a few people off. Even if it wasn't using the FtV foiling process, I think it was a mistake to foil in the entire white sky in the background. Also, I felt that the art could have zoomed in on her just a little more.

I agree that could be closer to her.

I came in seek of a challenge, but all I found was you.
DO we have any idea as to how many of these were made? FTV used to be super limited in quantities, but Annihilation and 20 seemed to have larger print runs. Is Angels also getting a larger print run, like the last two have, and how much bigger is that than the old FTVs?

WOTC is super-cagey about their print runs, but FTV: Dragons was about four per store, IIRC. Stores could order a couple dozen Angels (anyone with a store want to give more accurate numbers?)

Earlier FTV where really short in supply, but now, a store gets quite a lot of them and the demand isnt as crazy as it was for the real big ones.
So theres plenty of FTV-Angels around, more than people actual want.

Avacyn is in the low $20s on eBay, although that's the pack version. This version's $30.
$61 is a totally fair price, though. Entirely reasonable.

Woohoo! Crammed all of them into Ephara EDH for my wife, because, Angels.
