Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. If it's an Angel, put two +1/+1 counters on it.
Gisela cornered the murderous demon among the graves of the dead villagers. "A fitting end," she murmured as she raised her sword.

No player can cast spells or activate abilities between returning the creature card to the battlefield and checking whether it’s an Angel.
05/01/2012If the creature is an Angel only on the battlefield (perhaps because it’s a non-Angel creature card and Xenograft is on the battlefield), it will get the +1/+1 counters.
