Product Overview

Description

Designed by Brom, this card depicts a powerful angelic entity with a mana cost of seven and a power and toughness of 4/4. It possesses the flying keyword ability, allowing it to bypass most blockers, but its true value lies in its static triggered abilities that alter the fundamental rules of the game. Unlike standard creatures that simply deal damage or block, the Platinum Angel provides absolute protection. The card states that you cannot lose the game and your opponents cannot win the game. This effect is permanent and does not depend on life totals or board state. It effectively freezes the outcome of the match, making it impossible for an opponent to achieve victory through combat, life drain, or alternate win conditions while this card remains in play. For collectors, this treatment from the Mirrodin set is highly sought after due to its iconic status and unique mechanical impact. Collectors often seek out foil versions of this card for their visual appeal and historical significance within the Mirrodin block. Whether you are building a themed collection of artifact creatures or looking to complete the base set, this foil card represents a significant piece of Magic: The Gathering lore. The combination of Brom's artwork and the card's powerful effect ensures its place in the pantheon of iconic Magic cards.
