When this creature enters, if you cast it from your hand, exile all attacking creatures.
Mox strategy
Angel of the Dire Hour excels as a flash-speed board wipe against attacking creatures, offering instant-speed defense. Best used in control or midrange decks that need a surprise answer mid-combat. Synergizes well with cards that benefit from casting at instant speed or trigger on casting spells (e.g., instant-speed blink effects, Leyline of Anticipation). Enables strong combat tricks and defense, giving you flexibility and tempo advantage by exiling all attackers and stabilizing the board. Ideal in formats where it is legal for reactive play.
