Being the first card printed that said, "you can't lose the game," Platinum Angel turned a lot of heads when Mirrodin was released. It failed to live up to the immediate hype as Affinity created a format too fast for a 7 mana creature and made artifact removal too rampant for the angel to survive even if a player could live long enough to cast it. When it was reprinted in 10th Edition, it did see some competitive play in 5-Colour Control decks and now does an excellent job serving those ambitious enough to use Phage, the Untouchable as their commander.
