Description
Angel of Destiny stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, originating from the 2020 Zendikar Rising expansion. As card number 2 in the set, this Mythic Rare creature brings a distinct strategic weight to gameplay with its five-mana cost and white mana identity. Designed by Ryan Pancoast, the card depicts an Angel Cleric that combines offensive prowess with defensive utility, featuring both flying and double strike to control the battlefield effectively. Beyond its combat capabilities, Angel of Destiny offers unique interaction through its triggered abilities. When creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, both you and that opponent gain life equal to the damage dealt. This mechanic encourages aggressive playstyles while providing a safety net through life gain. The card also boasts a powerful finisher: if you have accumulated at least 15 life more than your starting total by your end step, each player the Angel attacked this turn loses the game. This creates a compelling win condition that rewards resource management and strategic timing. Collectors value Angel of Destiny for its high rarity status and its role within the Zendikar Rising set. The card's combination of evasive traits and game-ending potential makes it a memorable piece for any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether used for strategic gameplay or added to a set collection, this card represents a significant entry in the modern Magic: The Gathering landscape, appealing to players who appreciate complex interactions and high-impact creatures.
