My Magic Parody Comics

I am not a fan of the Baneslayer Angel. It's a good card and I was lucky enough to get one at a 2011 prerelease tournament, but I don't feel it's balanced. If it cost more mana, or didn't have both first strike and lifelink, or was legendary, I'd probably like it. It seems the only "balance" to it is its supposed rarity, however, and I don't consider rareness to be a valid balancing method.

This comic was a bit trickier to make than the previous two. For one thing, I had to do some research regarding Serra Angel's original outfit. I'm not opposed to the new design, but it made much more sense in the context of this comic to go with the earliest Serra Angel design, and her original cards only showed her from the chest up. Enough, perhaps, to excite teenage boys back in the day, but not enough to know what the rest of her dress looked like ^^;

I play one in my deck and two Serra Angels. There. Balanced. Because, you can only afford one.

You portrayed Baneslayer Angel like those happy, go-lucky "I wanna be everybody's friend" type of annoying girls that they put on television shows. Yeah I would expect her personality to be like that! HA!! Serra Angel wishing upon Plummet to be cast is just the icing on the cake!

I love the way that the serra angel totally drops the holy routine and goes full "Die in a fire >_< " when Baneslayer hits the scene and then reverts to prayer again... to pray for something painful to happen to her rival :P

Oh god, this is perfect! My sentiments exactly!! Baneslayer is the ultimate Mary Sue.

I know it's over a year, but I've been loving your mtg comics. They are the awesome.
