I'm not pulling out of my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work,

coronavirus edition. Okay, guys, welcome. So today we're talking all about angels. So I'm going to start

from the very beginning and just share a lot of stories about angels along the way.

Okay, so the very first angel shows up, in fact, in Alpha, which was Sarah Angel.

That's the very first angel. I think Richard was like the idea of a battle angel. In fact,

the reason it's called Sarah Angel is the Sarah comes from serrated, like a sword. Like a serrated

means something that's got rough edges to it so it can cut.

But anyway, I think Richard just liked the idea of this battle angel.

As people know, angels become the white iconic. But as you'll see, it took a little while,

actually, before just angels being a regular white thing was a normal thing. It's funny as I look back. I think of angels being a thing from the magic's beginning because of Sarah Angel. But it is actually not.

So I'm going to walk through that a little bit. Anyway, Sarah Angel, so when Alpha first got printed,

vigilance wasn't yet a thing. I mean, it wasn't a keyword.

And for the longest time, we just called it the Sarah ability, because that's what Sarah Angel did.

So, but Sarah Angel, out of the gate, was a very popular car.

Part of it was it was pretty strong.

One of the things about early magic is the power level of creatures was actually pretty low.

The power level spells was high, but the power level creatures was a lot lower.

In fact, there's not a lot of creatures.

In fact, I don't even know if there is a creature in Alpha that for power level reasons can't be reprinted.

I mean, there's restricted lists and other reasons why it can't be.

But, like, from a power-level standpoint, I'm not sure.

I mean, anyway, it was one of the more powerful creatures in Alpha.
