All About Angels
Angels: They're Just Like Us but Cooler and with Wings is a complete, 100-card, ready-to-play Commander deck releasing through Secret Lair! To give these Angels the proper treatment they deserve, we've worked with fan-favorite artist Scott M. Fischer to deliver five cards with brand-new artwork.

A Note on Arden Angel
Magic superfans may recognize Arden Angel, a card we're excited to bring to physical Magic for the first time. This card has existed in the Magic design database for 20 years, and now you'll have the chance to bring it to your next Commander game. The card has received a minor change to be playable in paper—check it out here!
Arden Angel will be legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and other Eternal formats. We do not foresee Arden Angel making an impact in any Constructed formats. Instead, Arden Angel is a flavorful throwback to old-school Magic. We're excited to bring it to Magic players through Angels: They're Just Like Us but Cooler and with Wings.
Arden Angel will follow the same rules as our other mechanically unique Secret Lair cards and be globally available in boosters through The List in the future.
