#10

Reya Dawnbringer – last printing : 2007

Reya, brings a lot to the table. A card back every turn is not something to scoff at. But for 9 mana, she falls in at number 10. Animal Boneyard works wonders with this card.

#9

Exalted Angel – last printing : 2002

Woa. A 4th turn 4/5 flier? yep, with lifelink. This is a staple card for any collector or player. There was no more effective early game angel. Although outdated by monstrosities such as Baneslayer nowadays, she still deserves a spot on the list.

#8

Pristine Angel -last printing : 2004

I LOVE this card. Pristine angel brings a lot to the table in terms of versatility. I actually use it for defense more than attack but heck yes you could use it for both. 4/4 for 6 is a good price to pay for this chick.

#7

Blinding Angel – last printing : 2005

Ha. For holding a sword upside down, this card packs a lot of punch. A wonderful edition to any mono-white deck, and the root of some amazing control decks, blinding angel is one of my personal favorites as well.

# 6

Adarkar Valkyrie – last printing : 2006

It’s a close call between the next couple, but the Valkarie comes up a little short. A game saver for pretty much any white deck, she’s saved my butt a couple of times. Kudos to Jeremy Jarvis for, in my opinion, the coolest illustration of the angels.

#5

Akroma, Angel of Fury – last printing : 2007

Akroma, transformed into dragon form. This card tops the red card of its time. The most angry of the top 10, This is also the only mono-red angel. The drawback is there are some dragons, that sort of do the exact same thing, rendering this card a little cliche’.

#4

Maelstrom Archangel – last printing : 2009

Arn’t angels supposed to be white? This mythic rare covers the entore spectrum, and for good reason. Attack with this and dump a progenitus out of your hand. If you can handle the mana cost, this sexy flier is one of the most useful cards out there.

#3

Akroma, Angel of Wrath – Last printing : 2006

The Winner of the popular contest, Akroma is a little more powerful and unique in her white form. The problem is the mana cost, but if you get her out, many people consider the game over (particularly EDH). This is one of the sought after cards in the game due to its novelty, rarity and power.

#2

Baneslayer Angel – Last Printing : 2009

 19 out of 20 times this angel is the best of the best. With all those abilities, she is unstopable for only 5 mana! Baneslayer Angel is the most expensive card with the new card design and one of the most saught after cards in the game! But there is something she cant do…

…and the winner is…

#1

Platinum Angel- last printed : 2007

Yes this is a controversial pick, but read it. You cant get any better than that. Yea shes a popular target for disenchant and unmake, and definitely watch out playing a blue control deck, but situationaly it is impossible to lose the game, proving a pretty awesome card that belongs nowhere else but in the #1 spot!

Any Suggestions?
