Yick. Doesn't look strong enough for a mythic to me. Make it square stats - 5/5 for 5 mana, or 4/4 for 4 mana. And maybe even lose the "discard a card", or make it an activated ability instead, like Skywing Aven or Thalakos Scout:

> Discard a card: Put ~ on top of its owner's library.

I do like the synergy between the self-topdecking effect and the Miracle.

Miracle trigger needs "When ~ ETBs".

I disagree with Alex on this. This thing is very strong. It kinda sucks if you hard cast it, but even then, it's pretty solid in limited. However, if you miracle it, it's just a better Entreat the Angels, plus it comes with a way to make that happen. If anything, this is /slightly/ too pushed, but I love it.

Also "cast with Miracle" should be "if ~'s miracle cost was paid."

OK, sorry, yes. The miracle trigger is extremely strong and probably underpriced, and if you can make this die then it comes with a built-in way to trigger miracle. But the "front side" (non-miracled) is rather underwhelming. At least make it 4/4 so all your Angels are the same size.

The stats can go up and push things around, the 3/3 was a callback to the original Radiant from Urza's Legacy and Avenging Angel from Tempest. Most angels are much bigger these days so I can see bumping the body but the Futuresight callback was making the Avenging Angel 'spellshape' cards into Entreat the Angels. I considered getting rid of the discard since she already eats a drawstep but it's a very tricky thing to balance. Do you think it would be too good since you could just use thing like Vampiric Tutor or Noxious Revival to set up a better Entreat?
