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.
