When I first saw Akroma years ago when she was
originally printed, I started
reading the list of capabilities and quickly
stopped. "I get it," I thought,
"Akroma has the ability called
EVERYTHING-that-any-creature-has-ever-been-able-to-do!"
Well, Akroma is back, and even though she does
NOT have Suspend, or Morph or any kind of
Affinity, she is just as powerful as ever. In
limited games where she appears, she is
represents a virtual GAME OVER for your
opponent. In constructed, she is just as good as
the last time you played her. Akroma is just
plain fat, in only the best ways.
Time Spiral is a bit of a slow format. That
means you could actually hit eight mana in the
course of a game. Of course, Resurrection got
timeshifted too, so you barely even need eight
mana. She's probably never been easier to get
out, and when she does, you basically win
automatically. Congratulations.
Constructed- 4
Casual- 5
Limited- 3.5

There are few other things that say ‘game over’
as well as Akroma. She’s a flying, trampling,
first-striking, vigilant,
invulnerable-to-removal angel! What’s not to
love about her? White Control and Reanimator
will bring Akroma back into the Constructed fold
quickly, especially when her wonderful friend
Resurrection is in this set as well. Say hi to
the new face of endgame.

Akroma, Angel
of Wrath- Rare- Time Shifted
Well, what is there to say about Ms. Keyword
here? well she is big, hard to kill, fast, big,
and hard to kill, did I mention big? In any
reanimator deck akroma is usually the first card
that most people choose to be their target of
choice, and for all those reasons I listed above
(I did put big right?). She is also pretty
popular in U/W control builds as a finisher, but
I personally prefer sacred mesa over her because
you can play it earlier, but as always she will
hold a place in my heart for being such an
awsome angel.
Ratings:
constructed- 4/5 She has uses in all formats
casual- 5/5 she is big and mean, very fun casual
card, inspecially for T4
limited- 4/5 Crazy good card in this format it
attacks and blocks at the same time

Akroma, Angel

Basically, if she gets out, you win the game.
Getting her out can be the tough part though.
There's not a lot to say about her, as she
pretty much speaks for herself. She's almost
impossible to deal with once she hits the table.
Good for casual too, as she's big, popular, and
there are plenty of ways to get her out (Oath of
Druids, anyone?)
In limited, duh. You can't splash for her, but
so what?

Constructed - It only seemed like just a while
ago you would rip people a new one. Well, now
you get to do it again. The cost his very mana
heavy but that's why there are reanimater's
around. The chance's of a player hard casting it
is very unlikely. Welcome back Akroma! Time to
smash in face's again!
Casual - This is the stuff casual gamer's love
and hate. Has pretty much anything you need.
People will be playing this for sure.
Limited - The fact that it cost's 8 mana to cast
is very tough. Then it has triple white in it's
cost. That is harsh. But if you see this and you
know you can run it take it for sure since it
means you win the game. If you can't run it hate
draft it. It sounds tough but do you really want
a 6/6 flying, first strike, vigilance, trample,
haste, pro black, pro red on the other end of
the table that would say you lose? I didn't
think so.
Constructed - 5
Casual - 5
Limited - 4.5 take it. Whether it's in your
color's or hate drafting, take it

Well this card
today pretty much speaks for itself. It's a
really big angel, that pretty much give you
everything you want from a creature. 6/6 flying,
trample, haste, first strike, vigilance and pro
red/black. Which means, it's pretty much
impervious to all removal spells (except that
pesky blue color) and it can attack, and sit
back and block for you. This is what I like to
call a game ender...because once you play this
card, your opponent is on a clock thats quickly
running out of time. Yes the 5WWW is a drawback,
but nothing worth losing sleep over.
Constructed: 4/5 too good to give a bad score
Casual: 5/5 with the cards you can put to back
this thing up, that makes for one scary deck.
Limited 3/5 I'm not sure how viable it is to get
8 mana out before you get run over, but if you
can pull this off, this should definately go in
your deck.

Ultra short
review today. Why? This card is probably more
straightforward than assembly worker. It's
obvious she's incredible because she's nearly
unkillable and has a ton of abilities.
Constructed: Think how good Simic Sky Swallower
is. Akroma is better than that. She doesn't get
a 5 because wrath of god, condemn, and devouring
light (not really) all see heavy play in our
format.
She's still amazing though.
4.5/5
Limited: If she was the only white card in your
pool, you would put 5 plains and her in your
deck. She's that good.
If you can't see why she is godly (literally), I
don't know why you're reading this in the first
place.
5/5
