Description
Resplendent Angel — Steady Lift
Resplendent Angel is a compact mythic that rewards life gain with board presence. The card reads like a stable midrange tool: a 3 3 flyer for {1}{W}{W} that watches for your life swings and, if you gained five or more life in a turn, leaves a 4 4 white Angel token with flying and vigilance at the end step. The activated ability for {3}{W}{W} turns the Angel into a larger lifelinker for one turn which can close games or protect a favorable race.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan play patterns this card pairs well with small incremental life engines and lifegain triggers that stack over a turn. Treat it as a pressure piece that also functions as insurance. The flavor fits the set with glimmers of sunlit caverns and guardian wings. For deckbuilding think resilience first and extra life sources second.
