This creates such an awkward momentum that you can string together some otherwise weird plays, leading us to our next 4-drop: Starnheim Unleashed. Are your angels still alive after this? Well, now they also get double strike. Not only are you making a 4/4 angel once it ticks up on the next turn, but every single creature you control can also tap to destroy an opponent’s creature with less power.
