Any male angels?
« on: September 29, 2019, 06:38:11 pm »
I've been looking into angels for my angel deck (link here https://deckstats.net/decks/135592/1394290-angel-army/en) and I've noticed that in the artwork for angel cards, there has never been a male angel. Am I wrong? If so, what cards prove me wrong?

It's a weird kind of flavor thing. In MTG, angels are almost entirely female, whereas demons are entirely male. The only exceptions I can think of are Angel of Sanctions and Seraph of the Suns, which appear male.

In MTG, Angels are born of magic.  They are all female.  Then we went to Amonkhet.  Amonkhet was an exception to this rule for some reason.
Happy Brewing!

I read somewhere that the reason they are male on Amonkhet is that they were created by Bolas rather than naturally (think Saruman and the Uruk Hai). It was a subtle story telling ploy to show the corruption and bastardisation of the plane under Bolas' rule. I always liked it. Subtley nefarious. One of the many reasons the flavour of Amonkhet is one of my personal favourites.

Gabriel Angelfire and Malach of the Dawn appear to be dudes.
