I'm sorry flying trample haste bothers me.

I like lifelink in  . It makes more sense in in than  . Also, kudos for having a  character that isn't a mindless brute. You have nothing but support from moi  A more mechanically accurate thingy would be a regenerate mechanic that applies to other creatures, however.

I'm not sure "omnibenevolence" fits Red's philosophy. Universal love for all is a much different concept than a strong emotional bond with individual friends, comrades or family. Red goes with its deep-down feelings moment to moment, and if a stranger wrongs you, your immediate gut feeling is anger or frustration, even if your conscious good nature allows you to forgive and love that stranger. Of course we're talking about human beings here, so who knows what reaction an Angel would have. I dunno.
That said, I think it would be an interesting exercise to find an interpretation of this flavor that actually fits mechanically with Red.
Given that some aligned angels are embodiments of a particular virtue, and some things in the past were embodiments of specific emotions, I think a angel that embodies compassion is more than decent.

- Necropolis Demon feels more red than black. I’d definitely switch out protection from red for protection from green
- Deathwarped Angel and Kennjha could do more
- Marjhog is pretty cool
- For Muunrai’s cast cost, you could put that Dragon or Demon onto the battlefield
- Quarlay’s pretty good, but I’d make it protection from white or green

Yeah, I like where it's going. Red deserves to get cards that show emotions other than fear and anger. But I think there's a difference between compassion for an individual based on seeing their own needs as a person versus compassion for all life based on an unconditional ideal. From what I understand of Red, its belief in love, compassion, justice and other positive emotions can be very strong, but they come from individual events, not moral guidelines (fighting for right because they've seen the effects of terrible injustice first-hand, or offering compassionate help because they see someone close to them suffering). Red has a hard time seeing the big picture.
