Needs a bunch of labbing first, unfortunately.
Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

it’s fine if you want more redundancy for the waker of waves style reanimator decks in low power. will easily wheel to the player in that deck as it’s tough to justify otherwise.
Is this card good? Is it worth the risk of getting 2-for-1'd? Is it a nice bridge between reanimator, blink and sacrifice?
Was it only good in reanimator or did you have other experiences than blacksmithy here?
for context, i draft someone else’s arena peasant cube and i often go for the waker of waves reanimator control deck. as long as i’ve got early floater type creatures i will usually maindeck this in that archetype
I liked it, but I'm cutting down to just a few value reanimation spells and likely won't run it.
If you run Colossal Skyturtle, E Wit (and variants), etc, I'd slam Blood for Bones in there because that's such a cool inevitability plan.
Hell... I may have just convinced myself... Wish I could run Skyturtle... Maybe one Simic card??? Maybe???

skyturtle is a mono green regrowth variant that is also a UB reanimator target
Does anyone have any experience with this thing? If so, do you have any experience with it in an environment with cards like Bloodthirsty Adversary?
Do you mean Bloodthristy Aerialist?
I don't, but it still seems super slow. You're 5 mana in for your first 3 life gained. I wanted artifacts and lifegain to matter and have an environment with more food prodution for this card to be fine, even in retail power level.

I assumed that you create the food, then replay it to make the giant using Bloodthirsty Adversary’s ability.
so, so far apart
generally speaking, if 6 mana is the going rate for wraths, i’d rather have phyrexian rebirth or kirtars wrath so i can kill ALL their dudes and not just the ones that attacked last turn
Onderzeeboot
Ecstatic Orb
Yeah, but Mimic Vat would be really broken in my cube, like the ultimate first pick.
I want the Angel to support Wx control decks but I fear it will lead to a little too much of a comeback regularly, like killing 4 creatures on etb when you were about to lose next turn, and now you're straight up winning.

is that… not what a wrath is designed to do?
EDIT: this is hilarious with momentary blink effects if you have any of those

Wraths are supposed to enable comebacks, sure, but being able to Plague Wind for 7 while adding a chonky angel is a little bit more dramatic than resetting the board to zero.
fwiw i do think this is probably too good for ravs cube. it just has a lot of weird play lines that make it a pickle to evaluate
Is that a challenge?
I ran Sunblast Angel for a while, and it was a mixed bag. Sometimes it felt even underpowered (in stalled boards you don't even want to cast it) but when it worked, it was pretty absurd.
I would guess it would not be too strong in Ravnic's cube, since you don't really slam alpha strikes in each other that often in that environment from the experience I have with the list, but in my cube it was often too swingy.
