mtg avacyn cards Magic The Gathering - Archangel // Avacyn, The Purifier (005/297) A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault Archangel Avacyn/Avacyn, the Purifier #1156

It was played a whole bunch in Standard and remains a popular Commander card to this day

Playing Against It Well-timed removal spells can cause UR some serious problems, as it lacks the creature density of most archetypes

This is a frighteningly efficient card, and we'd be surprised if it didn't see a lot of play for some time to come

This is considered a special action, which means it doesnt use the stack and cant be responded to, so in practice it works like instant speed

Its controller gains 4 life

While I am excited about a new printing of Chandra, Flames Catalyst for my Chandra theme deck, I find the value in this Lair to be rather low
