Both are very situational, but I would say the guardian angel / archangel ability is better overall due to versatility. Holy light takes up space in your deck, and though it may be twice as powerful for a cheaper cost... it's really dead weight if your opponent doesn't take heavy creature control or death/darkness creatures. You'd have to use it on yourself, and in most cases (unless you're going for EM after a miracle) 10 healing for 1 card is a card space that would be better spent on more pillars or more offense. The ability on the other hand has a lot of uses. Rage angels is actually a very good deck if you can get a good balance of angels, rage potions and miracles. And also, in phase one, with my FG deck against Morte, I only won by TUing one of his archangels to keep a dying pegasus i had alive. So it can be used offensively and defensively. Defensively it can eliminate a lot of creature control unless the control is very heavy. Offensively it can be used in combos like rage angels.

Bah, that's situational, it's hard to say which is better. On one hand, Holy light heals for 10, and will damage a death/Darkness creature, and is free when upgraded, but you can only have 6 in a deck. On the other hand, you can have infinite heals from Archangels, but it can't damage at all, and always costs. I would usually use Heal to be used on a creature, unless I play against a death/darkness deck. However, sometimes I would take some Holy Lights, usually to give myself a mastery after a miracle.
In all, I'd say the Angel is much more versatile, but the Light can be useful in a pinch
Very nice answer. I'll wait and see if anyone else answers but for now you have my vote....xudue seems to have dissapeared

I was in vacation (and will go in vacation again soon), which is why I answered Kuro's question before this phase actually started

Hmm, guess my inactivity during Phase 1 has caused a slight detriment for me. Curse you vacation!

Well, I don't think it's mathematically possible to win, but hey, there's always next time :D

Hey, I'm on vacation right now but I'm still active :P

Also, just to note because of the epicness, :light is (tied with :air) the closest trials in phase 2 voting, with only 5 votes separating 1st and 2nd (I think).

Pretty impressive since last Trials xdude got the overwhelming majority of the votes.

Congratz xdude and implosion.  I think you both would be great Masters.  You really can't go wrong with either of you guys in the top spot.

I think xdude and implosion both do a good job of representing  :light and  :light is the element I think of when I see both of them. Good luck to the both of you

Because nobody had heard of me, and we did the voting before the community help stage, so nobody could judge me yet :P
