You have a point...

I guess I was looking at it from a different perspective, where there is the same power but spread over less bodies, so if say you get 3 angels out, and 1-2 of them get snagged, your damage output is cut waay more than if you only lost 2 out of 6 Cat tokens. Of course, at this point it all depends on the scenario (couple tokens getting snagged/1-4-1 removed --> WSZ retains more damage potentially; getting slagged/whipflared --> Entreat > WSZ).

Then there's also flying tokens vs. non-flying instant-speed tokens.

I do agree that it's a powerful card and can win games in its own right, but I see it on par with White Sun (the possibility of Miracle REALLY puts it one notch above White Sun though, that's for sure; Miracle'd Entreat the Angels is so far above White Sun's Zenith).

Well, both are triple white...unless you meant "not triple white with miracle?"

In any event, the card is amazing in Limited and I think that's affecting peoples perceptions of it right now. I think it will drop back down in price.

Yeah, this card is great in Limited.

Reminds me of how good any mass-token card is, such as Army of the Damned. Got blown out of the water by that card in sealed at Innistrad pre-release...literally nothing I could do when that landed.
