Rationale

5cmc flying vigilance legend angel with flash and transform. Front-side protection from mana scam via vigilance; back-side (Avacyn, the Purifier) ETB boardwipes all non-angel creatures and resets angel tokens. Signature in midrange, flicker/blink (flash + transform triggers), and tokens-go-wide. Anti-control (creatures are more valuable than cards) and anti-stax (wipes combat-lock pieces). Must-answer threat with ETB impact.
