Because he's pumpable. Serra angel is a 4/4. I've gotten my Windreaver up to a 13/1 WITH vigilance at one point. He's good, but not in every deck. If you're running a WU deck with lots of white or blue mana, he's amazing. But i've seen it in WU Tron for extended, and it didn't do so great. 5 converted mana MAY be a lot, but when you're using blue, you're just sitting on land and signets.

good yes flying yes morphing ok, retrun to your hand in case of trouble also good, however putting him in your deck is better then serra angel how?

Wow! It can swing much damage when you boost it and switch its power and toughness. It is pretty expensive but it isn't a problem in azorius deck, because of Grand Arbiter Augustin IV. And if he is about to die you can return him to your hand. And with one plains you can give him vigilance so you will get a tough blocker even if you attacked. And I love the picture, itīs so cool.

I got this card at the prearelease and it has save me so much. It totally kicks but if you have a large amount of mana open. Awsome because it s based on morphling.
