	Anyone else notice just how many Angels have gone missing in Magic over the last few years, Ravnica had a big plot point about it, Alara had some but their number was falling, Same with Zendikar and Mirrodin, and most currently Avacyn, I think they're leaving to fight a war, something big that's going to span multiple planes and be worse than Szadeck's ghost, Bolas, Eldrazi and Phyrexians, and the thought of something like that on a card worries me. Anyone else have ideas where they might be going?

Anyone else have ideas where they might be going? Or the other options is: a) They have had it and decided to go to a particular plane for a holiday. or b) They are dieing out as there are not enough male angels to help them breed. (I think if I recall correctly only 1 male angel as been depicted on a card). “Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up.

	Do angels need to continually breed? Or do they just, continue to spawn, from Serra, or something.... eh.. - My RedBubble profile: All purchases go to a good cause... my college fund.

	Quoting Ereserkia Umezurtz:Do angels need to continually breed? Or do they just, continue to spawn, from Serra, or something.... eh.. Concerning the magic storyline, no they don't need to breed. They come into being by something else. But I thought the lose of male angels would be a good enough reason to answer the above question. “Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up.

	Example of an angel being created: Quoting List of Magic: The Gathering characters on wikipedia: Akroma, Angel of Wrath The Angel of Wrath, sworn to destroy Phage the Untouchable on behalf of her creator, Ixidor. Akroma was shaped by the master illusionist in the image of his wife, Nivea, who had been slain by Phage. Shortly after her creation, she flew to confront Phage in personal combat, but was defeated by the combined force of the cabal champion and her druid acolyte brother Kamahl. Akroma lost both her legs in the battle but escaped back to Ixidor, who fused her waist to the neck of a decapitated jaguar (this transformation is not represented on any card). The Cabal and Kamahl's Krosan Forest soon launched an attack on Ixidor's illusionary desert kingdom, and Akroma led an army of Ixidor's phantasmic creations into battle. The battle, known as the "Nightmare War," quickly turned to rout as Ixidor's beasts went out of control, and Ixidor himself was deemed lost in the chaos. Akroma was devastated by the loss of her creator but carried on in his name, raising an army of flesh and blood and starting a cult devoted to the master illusionist. She later discovered Ixidor alive in the belly of one of his summoned monstrosities, a massive deathwurm personifying the demise of Nivea. Failing to convince him to return, she left him to his despair and readied her army for a final confrontation with Phage. During a personal duel with Phage, Kamahl struck both down in one blow, fusing them into Karona, an entirely new entity. When Karona herself was killed much later, she reverted back to the form of Jeska, the barbarian adept Phage had been before her own corruption. There was no sign of the angelic illusion-made-real, but her legend continued to be one of the most enduring myths of Otaria. In an alternate universe seen in the Planar Chaos set, Akroma is a red-aligned avatar of vengeance. In this timeline, Ixidor descended into an even deeper state of madness and evil, vowing to wipe the entire Cabal out rather than focusing solely on Phage. In 2005, Akroma, Angel of Wrath was voted the most popular legend in Magic in a long-running online poll on the game's official website, magicthegathering.com. As a result, three Akroma-themed cards were printed in the 2006/07 Time Spiral block of sets; a reprint of the original card in Time Spiral itself, a special, alternate-universe Akroma, Angel of Fury card in Planar Chaos, and Akroma's Memorial in Future Sight. In the game, Akroma, often referred to by her nickname, the "Angry Lady," is one of the most iconic cards ever printed and has seen considerable high-level tournament play. Her popularity among players is often quoted as the primary reason that the "Legend Rule" (which restricts the number of times a character card can be played to one at a time) was altered in 2004's Kamigawa block. “Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up.

	Angels in MTG world are becoming extinct indeed. But they simply do not die. I think you are right in assuming that they are preparing for something big. It is called "Armageddon". All powerful magic comes from one entity, even the Eldrazi knows it, even Bolas, A powerful entity yet unknown and have never been introduced yet to MTG but there are hints and clues all around. There is a God in the multiverse, He is the creator of all things magical. The final battle will not be Angels and Demons, but Angels and Dragons. Humankind, Machines and other monsters will line up in the usual good vs. evil epic battle. I think Bolas is more than just a planeswalker. He knows, and every planeswalker knoww.
