Linvala is a white-aligned Angel native to the plane of Zendikar.[1]
History
Unlike most other Zendikari angels, Linvala did not blind herself with a halo and instead opted to keep the terrible memories of the Eldrazi alive. As they reemerged onto the plane, Linvala fought against them along with the other surviving angels. She is known for the use of silence, cutting off the sounds of her opponents and allowing her allies to be heard.
Linvala survived the initial release of the Eldrazi and joined the fight against the titan Kozilek.[2]
In the wake of the Eldrazi's demise, Linvala, tired of the other angels' inaction, flew to Sea Gate to offer her services. She immediately stood behind Tazri's proposal for the reconstruction of the city, and the word of an angel swayed even the stingiest expeditionary house.[3][4]
March of the Machine
After Zendikar became a target in New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Tazri had a Halo-infused vision. She sent Akiri, Linvala, Kaza and Orah to Emeria, where they witnessed the return of the compleated Nahiri.[5] Later, she teamed up with the vampire Drana to protect Zendikar from the Phyrexians.[6]
