Archangel of Wrath enters with up to 6 damage distributed however you need — creatures, players, planeswalkers — then sticks around as a 3/4 lifelink, flying body. Six mana is the real cost of admission, and at that price point it has to do exactly this much work to justify a slot.

Commander is where Archangel of Wrath does its best work — the kicker triggers scale with the number of white and/or black mana sources you tap, which means Orzhov, Mardu, and Esper shells can reliably land the full 6-damage spread on entry. In those colors, six mana is achievable by turn four or five, and the combination of removal, reach, and a relevant flying lifelink body in one card is genuine value compression. Outside Commander, Archangel of Wrath is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Pioneer, and Modern, but those formats move too fast for a six-mana sorcery-speed effect to compete with dedicated removal or finishers at that cost.

Price Context
Current price
$0.35 bulk tier
At $0.35, Archangel of Wrath sits firmly in bulk territory, which makes it an easy pickup for any Mardu or Orzhov Commander build that wants a kicker payoff. Bulk rares with this kind of multi-role utility tend to stay cheap — there's no spike pressure here, just a low-friction include.
