Angelic Favor puts a 4/4 flying Angel token into play at instant speed for two mana — as long as you control a Plains. The catch is the threshold condition and the discard cost, which make it a niche card rather than a staple.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Angelic Favor is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, threshold is easy to reach by mid-game, and a surprise 4/4 flier at instant speed has situational appeal in white token or go-wide strategies — but five total mana plus a discard is a steep ask when alternatives exist. Legacy and Vintage have faster clocks and better threats, so Angelic Favor never makes the cut there. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander at a compressed scale, where the mana cost is harder to justify.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Angelic Favor is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and postage more than the card itself. That price is stable simply because demand is near zero, not because it's a hidden gem waiting to spike.
