Hey y’all. The Zendikar preview for today came from a French site named Magic Ville in which they showed a white card with an angel art, a flavor text and a name that translates as Iona, Shield of Emeria. Check out the French preview card below.
The card art is also from the two Zendikar playmat products. A closer look at the card image shows that the angel is somewhat casting a spell that wrecks the ruins around her.
This gave me a hint that the card could have an Landfall ability effect. Also, the 3 pairs of Angel wings reminds me of that guardian angel from the game Diablo. Lol. Anyway, my guess of the ability would be like destroying another target land when a land comes into the battlefield under your control or the much powerful Armageddon-like comes into the battlefield effect when you play this angel. The flavor text translates to “The righteous will no longer tremble before evil.” Pretty cool one.
I know everyone of you hate this slow spoiling of the cards but let’s just be patient and see what surprise Wizards has it for us.
Where I live I am one of maybe 3 people who have a really worth while Angel Deck, not to brag but mine’s the best. I run an Angel/Enchantment deal and it works really well. Wrath of God has been my early on creature solver so far and the fact that their making a new version of it will be kind of nice, it will allow me to get another one.
More importantly this Angel, assuming its not retarded in its abilities will probably get moved into my deck as well. I really can’t wait to see what its abilities are.
