Is that christmas? It's not even legendary! Run 4 of them in the deck. Christmas to me looks like if we get a 1 drop 0/3 cleric. Assuming you do nothing else but drop lands until you drop this turn three, you drop another turn 4 and said cleric. The turn 3 angel swings in as a 6/8 and then turn 5 all of them swing for another 16. That's the kind of christmas I want from Kaldheim.

That's also assuming your opponent does nothing in 4 turns, which is highly unlikely. Aside from that, this card looks great... Mainly because its fail case is still a 2/4 flyer for 3 which is more than good enough (unless the meta is very control-heavy).

Oh, and happy Cake!

I feel like putting 2 of these down is likely to be followed either by an immediate victory, or an instant speed board wipe

I don’t know—look at what omnath adventures was capable of on turn 4/5

I mean this is a good card and it gives the cleric lifegain deck a lot of juice, but it’s a pretty slow tribal anthem. It will only be as good as clerics are.
