Artifact Creature - Angel 4/4, 7 (7)
Flying
You can't lose the game and your opponents can't win the game.

In its heart lies the secret of immortality.
Illus. Brom

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

  • 12/1/2004: There's no way to lose while you control Platinum Angel. You can be at any life total, draw any number of cards, have any number of poison counters, or have any number of Nefarious Liches leave play.
  • 12/1/2004: Effects that say the game is a draw still work.
  • 12/1/2004: In multiplayer games, your teammates can lose, but your opponents can't win using cards such as Battle of Wits.
  • 12/1/2004: You can concede a game while Platinum Angel in play. A concession causes you to leave the game, which then causes you to lose the game (Once you concede, you no longer control a Platinum Angel, so its ability can't prevent you from losing the game).
  • 12/1/2004: In DCI-sanctioned, single-elimination play, you can lose a game if the "highest life total" rule needs to be used to determine the winner of an unfinished game. Platinum Angel only prevents losing as part of the game, not due to parts of the DCI tournament rules.
  • 12/1/2004: In DCI-sanctioned tournaments, Platinum Angel will not prevent you from losing games or matches due to infractions listed in the Penalty Guidelines.
  • 12/1/2004: In Magic Online play, Platinum Angel doesn't prevent you from losing if your game clock runs out.
