Mind Control & Gray Angel

[Morachidi]

Cards: Mind Control  and Gray Angel

Q: Can the Mindcontroler do a Redeeming Sacrifice and then destroy Gray Angel (edit: 12 mana and level 3)?  :evil:

A: I would think YES, that's 8 (edit 11 forgot upkeep) mana to destroy an oppenents creature (Gray Angel) and Heal any living creature (probably Mage) with 6 dice...

Counters?
Mind Shield (2 mana), Reverse Magic (7 mana), Divine Intervention (expensive 12 mana), Nullify (4 mana), Jinx (3 mana)under the caster would work and Dispel with enough time.

Any thoughts, strategys?

Yup, that should work just fine  

I'd say that's a REALLY good reason to never play a Gray Angel vs a Mind Mage...

That's 11 mana - 2 mana for enchantment, 6 mana for revealing and 3 mana for upkeep, since Gray Angel would be stunned as soon as you reveal Mind Control so you have to wait untill the next action stage.
And this would give your oponent an opportunity to cast Dispel before you sacrifice Gray Angel.

It is still good combo - Gray Angel gives Mind Control nice option (and you can still choose not to sacrifice Gray Angel right away).
