The art is gorgeous but otherwise this card is kind of meh for a mythic. It has plenty of potential utility, but the fact it's a mythic really hurts this.

Doesn't even look like an Orzhov card. Could be a mono white angel from M20 and nobody would bat an eye. I miss the days when Orzhov angels were bald and wielding zweihanders. Nu-Ravnica is just so generic.
Who designed this card??...everybody else could’ve made this card look not so boring. Get rid of the activations and make a death trigger or something...where is the spice, sauce or flavor?
Seems boring as others have said. For one mana more I think I would just run baneslayer. This could have been a rare with no problem. Orzhov seems to have gotten the two worst mythics this time around.

I actually prefer the vigilance to lifelink. W and swing with B open. Not blocking me then? Oh fine. I'll just keep this B open for blocking you as well. Vigilance and deathtouch is a great combination.
I think it's probably fine without lifelink, which adds a bit more weight to Lyra Dawnbringer. I don't really think this card should have been mythic, but I think the design is fine. It does quite enough as a threat on its own that, while it may not be quite good enough for standard in a vacuum, it's certainly a powerful option for one or two specific decks, like Angels, or perhaps Abzan token/sacrifice.

I feel the same way. Would love to get that artwork on a playmat.

Pic so small.
I don't see a lot of hype for the card right now and for good reason IMO.
I certainly expected a bit more splashiness from a mythic rare Orzhov Angel

Same. I was kind of hoping for a rework of Deathpact Angel, something along the lines of:
Newpact Angel 4BW
Creature - Angel
Flying
Afterlife 3
BW, sacrifice 3 creatures: Return Newpact Angel from your Graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
4/4
Orzhov gets a sera angel with the mechanic bolted on
This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
The card is boring, sure, but it is very good. It is a great rattlesnake card that can be removed but its effects linger (the Afterlife).
The artist seems to have a trend going in this set where the creatures she's painting are looking to the right.
