Angel

Description

The Angel token from Modern Masters 2017 Tokens represents one of the most recognizable and enduring creatures in Magic: The Gathering history. First printed in Alpha in 1993, this iteration was reissued in 2017 as part of the Modern Masters 2017 Tokens subset, designed to provide players with high-quality reference cards for casual and competitive formats alike. As a token card, it does not exist as a regular game piece but serves as a physical proxy for the Angel creature card, allowing players to track their resources during matches. This token is a common release, identified by card number 1 in the set, and is illustrated by Anthony Palumbo. It functions as a white-colored creature with a mana value of zero, meaning it costs nothing to create. The card possesses a power and toughness of 4/4, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield. Its defining ability is flying, which allows it to bypass most ground-based blockers, a key strategic advantage in Magic: The Gathering. The token's design prioritizes clarity and durability, ensuring that the text box and artwork remain legible even after extensive play sessions. These tokens are often distributed in starter decks, promo packs, and special events, serving as essential tools for constructing decks and completing collections. The Angel token, in particular, is a staple in many deck archetypes due to its low cost and high impact. Whether you are building a Commander deck or simply appreciate the iconic design, this token remains a fundamental component of the game's ecosystem.
