A good card, but you are at 5 life, its only a 5/5 and for a whopping 3WHITE 4COLORLESS. However, I will let anyone who is reading this in on the secret to my white life-gain deck... Its 4 card combo is Serra Avatar, Angelic Chorus, Mother of Runes, and Phyrexian Processor. With angelic Chorus in play if you play an avatar it doubles your life while also doubling the power/toughness on your avatar. Give it protection from whatever color your opponent may be playing and killem in one hit with an unblockable Avatar. The Processor also rips ass when you sac alot of life and get it back every turn along with huge creatures. The key to the deck, is the ANGELIC CHORUS/SERRA AVATAR combo.

This is a beautiful card!! This card is needed in any life-gaining deck, that wants pure power. If you have more than one of these cards it good to have remembrance aroudn too, to bring her back as soon as ossible when she dies.

Undoubtedly one of the best cards in the game, especially in gain life/shadow decks... serra avatar & dauthi embrace together is nearly unstoppable

Spirit Link!

A great combo card. play it with an elvish piper on for 1 green mana in a green/white deck then put armadillo cloak on it ( +2+2 trample, and when it deals damage, you gain that much life.) So what you have is a giant creature with trample that doubles its power ever attack.

Ever heard of a Sneak Attack, Avatar (often 1st turn kill)?

This is an icredable card (but sometimes is too expensive depending on how much life you have. If you make a green/white deck with heroes reunion and overrun this card is unstoppabble.

Good,but it could be better if it had flying as standard.Use it in gain life decks (Congregate,angelic chorus) or just use a worship
-- By Stuart M from Dunfermline,Scotland on July 06, 2002 |

Put a spirit link and pariah on it and raise it's power whenever your opponent attacks. Pipers better because it stays in play.

Avatar, Altar of Dementia, Regeneration. Who says you can't make a G/W Millstone deck?

Insane card, spirit link, armadillo cloak and serras embrace work pretty well. One of the best creatures ever made.

THIS IS THE BEST CARD EVER!!! One time i got my serra avatar up to a 189/190!!! No one with a life gaining deck or cleric deck can truly call themselves a magic player unless they have this card!!! This is my favorite card!!!! And you there... kid who rated it a 4... YOU DIE!!!! SERRA AVATAR IS THE RULER OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!

who's the moron that gave this card a four? This card fits into so many combinations, like with piper, sneak attack. Definitely one of the top ten cards ever made outside of the power nine.

Some guy I know gave me one. He was leaving town and just handed me this because I had hooked him up with some other stuff. Pretty sweet card. Its the only creature in my oath deck, so you kinda get the point =)!

Great combo here: Red/White Astral slide. Play the avatar. Use slide to remove it from the game, drop dimensional breach. Your avatar comes back as the only permanent on the board. Beautiful combo.

this card goes great with cards like spirit link and fireshrieker
-- By Anonymous from nowhere in particular on October 12, 2003 |

Sure sure, great creature. Two problems: one, if you are near death, the avatar is useless. Two, it is too dangerous. Some guy with a red/ black deck can use repurcussion and terror. Game over. Go with Akroma or Avatar of woe. Much safer cards to play.

Put this in a life gaining deck with black to have some diabolic intents and it will always be by your side. Also use spirit link for some huge life totals and then it just gets bigger and bigger.

This card shows you the true extent of the power found in the Urza's Saga expansion. Combine it with a Sneak Attack, for even more fun. And what about a Spirit Link? The only drawback is mane, and any good player can come up with that...

derek hopkins:
You should try reading the card before you post a review.
When Serra Avatar is put into a graveyard, shuffle Serra Avatar into owner's library.
it wont work in a reanimation deck.
However, A very sweet combo is Serra Avatar / Quicksilver Amulet. Bring in the avatar very early on.

This appears to be a very badass card, but if your opponent has a cinder cloud you are dead!

ura shards, fling , bloodshot cyclops & a real killer combo of sneak attack , weatherseed treefolk & alter of dementia! what do ya get boys ? well for every red i can sneak in a weatherseed treefolk sack it through the alter to deck opponent for 5 cards & put treefolk back in hand ! also the avatar is killer for decking someone through alter because the avatar gets shuffled back into library & possibly if one had a wordly tutor get it back! oh also priest of titiana , karmic guide, seething song thorn elemental, tornado elemental work well!

sorry buddy, exhumes a sorcery and by the time you use it, serra avatar is back in your library. You can corpse dance her for a first turn kill if you can play some sort of mox or something.

too good to be true. what if i use it with loxodon warhammer?
-- By nick stamatelos from athens greece on September 06, 2006 |

I typically use Noble Purpose, Spirit Link, and Armadillo Cloak. Using Noble Purposes and Spirit Links and 2 Serra Avatars, against a Goblin/Patriarch's Bidding deck, my life actually multiplied by 10 every time I attacked, bringing my life total all the way up to four TRILLION something, before he finally gave up. My Armadillo Cloaks were all at the bottom of the deck. ^__^ True stroy

Good for any white, white-black, or white-green life-gain deck. If you can play it right then you can destroy and regenerate this card a few times and (depending on if your life gain deck is any good) have a HUGE amount of life. In my opinion the best 2 types of lifegain green or white
