Somebody made an off-hand comment at the
pre-release that all the creatures in Alara
appear to be either Angels or Dragons. But when
all of them are as neat as Battlegrace Angel, so
what? Its price and its stats are just right for
a control or midrange deck, and the lifelink is
great for getting out of burn range. I even like
the art.
You know somebody is going to combine this with
Windbrisk Raptor at some point. And Loxodon
Warhammer, most likely. Where is Sulfuric Vortex
when you really need it?

The list of angels for 5cc is long and this one
is one that will get play. 4/4, Lifelink, Flyer
is a great creature on its own. I really like
exalted in multiplayer as often in multiplayer
you are only willing to commit to one creature
attacking. The exalted mechanic in limited has
already proved itself it you are lucky to get
enough not to mention a flyer this big is always
great. In limited the game of late is to get out
the big guy quick and with this fellow you are
easy to get a bang for the buck. Not sure about
constructed with this guy yet but in some more
control oriented decks it may work.

Battlegrace Angel
Constructed:
It would be nice to see a Exalted deck show up
in the top decks. She is a good one to build a
Exalted deck around, you even have a Intro pack
to start with.
Casual:
Angels are very popular among the casual crowd.
This a great addition to any Angel deck.
Limited:
This is a game winning bomb. If you get her into
play and she stays you won. I think Exalted is a
underrated ability. It can be really go in draft
or sealed.
Overall a very good creature with a fantastic
ability. Drop her in with some creatures with
Shadow and put the hurt on your opponent and
gain some life.

Good card for limited and casual, but not so
much in constructed. Simply put it lacks
protection and simply isnt good enough to
warrant a spot in most decks. However in limited
this thing is absolutely crazy. Exalted decks are
generally very strong in limited if you can get
enough of the creatures. For example if you
attack with a 3/3 it becomes a 4/4 with lifelink
on the attack. Even if it dies you can still
apply the bonus to another creature on the next
turn. If you attack with a Rhox War Monk you get
a 4/5 with double lifelink, very nice in a
casual deck.
