Tormented Angel

French-vanilla flyers were already filler by 1999, but the body here tells you exactly which design lever was being pulled: a 1/5 with flying is a wall that happens to move. The five toughness blanks most aggressive ground creatures and stonewalls fellow flyers, while the single point of power means it will almost never kill anything in the air on its own. That is a defensive statline dressed as an attacker, and the lack of any second ability is the whole point: it is a common-rarity speed bump, built to give a white deck a clean blocker that does not fold to a single burn spell and can chip in for a point when the board stalls. Nothing on the card rewards building around it, and nothing was meant to. It exists to round out a white curve, the kind of body that makes a fragile early board survivable without bending anything around it.
