Archangel Avacyn/Avacyn,
the Purifier (12/27)
Overall rank: 4
My rank: 2
Both halves of Avacyn are
brutal.
Her first side is a 4/4
that flashes in to thwart most potential attempts to
clear the board; even if she never flips, she's
still a 4/4 with vigilance and flying that can
put a close game in the bag or turn an
unfortunate turn of events in your favor.
If she does flip, she
becomes a 6/5 that wipes the board of all the
small creatures, and she can close games out
even faster. And her flip trigger isn't too
hard, requiring something to die. With a lot of
sacrifice outlets, it's possible to flip Avacyn
the turn after she resolves, and you can clear
things out effectively.
The value of Avacyn is that
she can fit into almost any deck. Control likes
her, aggro also likes her, and she pulls her
weight in almost every game she gets into. She's
one of the better creatures we've seen in a
while.
