Description
Released in 2004 as card number 9 of the Darksteel set, the Pristine Angel is a formidable six-mana white creature that commands attention in Magic: The Gathering. Illustrated by Scott M. Fischer, this foil version of the card showcases the distinctive aesthetic of the Darksteel era, appealing to collectors who value both artistic design and mechanical power. As a Rare card, it offers a compelling blend of defensive and offensive capabilities for players and hobbyists alike. The Pristine Angel enters the battlefield with flying, allowing it to evade most ground-based blockers. Its most defining trait is its versatile protection: while untapped, it is immune to artifacts and every color, making it an incredibly resilient presence on the battlefield. Additionally, the card features a dynamic ability that allows you to untap it whenever you cast a spell, enabling it to attack multiple times or block repeatedly within a single turn. This unique combination of evasion and durability makes the Pristine Angel a standout piece for completing the Darksteel set and a favorite among fans of the Angel creature type. Whether you are building a themed collection or seeking powerful cards from the 2004 era, this product represents a significant entry in the Magic: The Gathering canon.
