Avacyn Ascends
Archangel Avacyn is a play that changes the tempo of a game the moment she hits the battlefield. The card reads Archangel Avacyn and costs {3}{W}{W}. She has flash so she can be cast on an opponent turn, and her flying and vigilance let her apply pressure without tapping. Her enter the battlefield trigger gives your creatures indestructible until end of turn which turns blocks into wins and protects your board from sweepers.
Innistrad lore sits behind the rules here. When a non Angel creature you control dies, Archangel Avacyn will transform at the beginning of the next upkeep which creates meaningful choices around when to push damage and when to trade. If you build around protection and timing you get a resilient finisher that fits white based midrange and tokens strategies. Add this mythic to any collection and use her flash to outplay removal or to preserve a fragile board state.
