I think the potential to flood the board with angels from the hand or library during an opponent's turn is all it really has going for it in that regard.<br /><br />@Jay I like the straight-up Future Sight on FH—that definitely feels mythic. The only precedent for this ability (unrestricted) is in blue; however there is not *that much* precedent in that regard, and it's very much in-flavour for oracles.<br /><br />Archangel's Oracles<br />1WW <br />Creature - Human Shaman<br />Play with the top card of your library revealed. <br />You may play the top card of your library if it's an angel.<br />Fateful Hour: You may play any card from the top card of your library.<br />2/2Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991882234031250196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-12068999597788681492014-04-14T13:59:43.313-04:002014-04-14T13:59:43.313-04:00These six clerics are tougher than the Thraben Mil...These six clerics are tougher than the Thraben Militia?Jay Treathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428861685923241850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-91638831689448240182014-04-14T13:57:13.270-04:002014-04-14T13:57:13.270-04:00Welcome.

Me being me, my first instinct was therefore to go Johnnier:<br /><br />"Change the text of each Equipment you control by replacing all instances of "equipped creature" with "each creature you control."<br /><br />I'm sure there are rules issues galore. Maybe there's something to be done by saying each equipment you control is attached to each creature you control or something.
