Anything following that card is a disaster ("anything" being a mana Angel, generally)

Wouldnt that be better

Five mana is a bit steep but in the late game it matters a lot less about the cost and a lot more about the immediate impact, this flexibility makes the card much stronger rather like Mull Drifter which is somewhat of a back up plan in one of its curve slots

If the target creature card is an illegal target as General Leo Cristophe's ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen
