Mana Cost » 4RWW

Expansion » Avacyn Reborn

Type » Legendary Creature - Angel

Card Text » Flying, first strike

If a source would deal damage to an opponent or a permanent an opponent controls, that source deals double that damage to that player or permanent instead.

If a source would deal damage to you or a permanent you control, prevent half that damage, rounded up.

Gren's Thoughts » Red, the all and powerful. Furnace of Rath built into a creature. It also doubles as a barrier for either your own spells, or your opponents. Seems like a win/win for me. Splashing red into a white is pretty interesting. Boros anyone?

Art » I like her more than I do the others.

Notes » Week 2 spoilers for AVR! Angel week, first three days being the multicolored angels.

Also, Heartless Hidetsugu. Of course, that works equally well (better taking into account mana cost) with Curse of Bloodletting.

Blossom is where it's at. High mana cost, but might be worth reanimating and it's a super fun card. This could see play in things like Frikes because it just swings the game so far in your favor the first time anything attacks. Fun card is fun.

Gisela was a love letter from Wizards to me. Favorite card in the entire block and I have not even played with it anywhere yet. I only regret she's 7 mana in two colors so she won't be seeing any standard play, but nonetheless I am pleased with our Avacynian overlords for creating her.

Plus she has gorgeous art. And a terrible name.

There's nothing wrong with being named "Blossom". It's a fine name, albeit a bit unorthodox.
