Entreat the Angels is interesting, but I can't see this being used in any decks, even for its miracle cost (even though a 4/4 flyer for :1mana::symw::symw: isn't so bad). It will NEVER be hardcast outside a Limited or EDH game.

you can generally tell the easiest road to victory by how many players congregate on it; and the road of counterspells/control has been the freeway of choice in magic for quite some time.

What I find offensive is not that Wizards is endeavoring to make the game more accessible, but the attitudes of elitists who act as though no one of any age should show their face in the Magic public without first having mastery over the complexities of the game.

So for 6 CMC, black sweeps the opposing tribe and brings all of its back into play, but tapped, and as a sorcery that can't be easily recurred. For 1 more, white sweeps the opposing tribe with the much stronger exile than destroy, brings back all its dorks, untapped, and gets a 4/6 flying to boot, and in a recurrable form of a creature.
I use the Duels Of The Planeswalkers layout, though I'm right-handed and keep my deck and GY to the left. I dare you to ask me how tempting it is to hold flying creatures in a floating pattern over the table.
Oh cool, humans really needed a finisher like that. Not only standard sideboard tech, but also a complete hoser of such an important tribe in standard. Way to go Wizards, way to go.

Is it me or is Angel of Glory's Rise what Archangel's Light should have been? (I get it that Dark Ascension was supposed to be the bad guys winning set, but if there's anything that FEELS mythic to me, it's this type of effect.)

I find it funny that Angel of Glory's Rise is almost the mirror image of Zombie Apocalypse. Cute.

Should prove the credibility of that source, anyway.
Angel of Glory's Rise is an amusing reversal of Zombie Apocalypse. I wish it had a more memorable name to go with it.
