|---|---|
| Elspeth Tirel (human) | |
  | Elspeth, Sun's Champion |
 | Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis |
 | Elspeth Resplendent |
She has much higher than average health, good mana gains in White, decent in Green and Blue and neutral in Black and Red. She has extra deck limits for creatures and spells and a lower than average support limit.
Elspeth gets one of the Passive Abilities introduced with the AFR set; hers is called Archangel’s Touch, and is activated by her first and third abilities.
Her abilities are marked by a high degree of synergy. They perform multiple functions which work well together, such as her third destroying all creatures but, if a friendly creature was destroyed moving it to play (or any previously destroyed or discarded creatures in the graveyard).
Archangel Elspeth is the fifth of a handful of playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Elspeth Tirel at different points in her life.
