Angel of the Ruins: Soaring Control in Commander
Angel of the Ruins emerges as a commanding presence in any white-based Commander deck, combining the resilience of a 5/7 flyer with potent disruption. This artifact creature offers an efficient way to handle problematic artifacts or enchantments the moment it graces the battlefield. Its enter-the-battlefield effect allows you to exile up to two target artifacts and/or enchantments, providing immediate control that can turn the tide of the game without relying on traditional removal spells.
Beyond its impactful exile ability, Angel of the Ruins features Plainscycling, a subtle yet valuable mechanic that enhances deck consistency by allowing you to search your library for a Plains card when it isn’t the right moment to cast this creature. With a total casting cost of seven mana including two white, this card fits well in slower, controlling strategies that benefit from a sturdy flyer capable of pressuring opponents while maintaining board control.
