Angel of Suffering

Description

The Angel of Suffering stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically within the 2022 Magic Online Promos series. Carrying the number 99767 and designated as a mythic rare, this card offers a distinct mechanical identity that appeals to players and collectors alike. The foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a standout piece for those who appreciate the aesthetic and tactile qualities of premium card releases. As a Creature — Nightmare Angel, the card commands a mana cost of {3}{B}{B} with a mana value of 5. It possesses a power and toughness of 5/3, backed by the iconic flying ability. The card’s primary allure lies in its defensive yet aggressive static ability: if damage would be dealt to you, that damage is prevented, and you mill twice that many cards from your library. This unique interaction allows players to control board states while simultaneously manipulating their deck, creating a dynamic play pattern that rewards strategic foresight. Designed by Martina Fačková, this promo card represents a specific era in Magic Online’s history, where exclusive digital-to-physical promotions provided unique opportunities for engagement. The combination of the Nightmare and Angel subtypes places it in a niche category of creatures that blend celestial elegance with darker, more menacing undertones. Collectors often seek out these promos not just for their gameplay utility, but for their role in the broader narrative of Magic’s digital ecosystem. Whether you are building a Commander deck, exploring limited formats, or simply adding to a curated collection of mythic rare promos, the Angel of Suffering offers both mechanical depth and collectible value. Its foil treatment enhances its status as a premium item, distinguishing it from standard print runs. For enthusiasts of the black color identity, this card provides a unique blend of protection and resource acceleration, making it a versatile addition to any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast's library.
