Radiant, Serra Archangel lands as a 4/3 flying vigilance creature that can tap to grant a target creature flying until end of turn — reasonable stats for seven mana, but that cost is the problem. At that price point, the payoff needs to be game-ending, and tapping down to hand out flying rarely qualifies.

Commander is the only realistic home for Radiant, Serra Archangel, and even there she's a fringe include. Seven mana puts her in competition with creatures that win the game outright, and the tap-to-grant-flying ability only matters in dedicated Angel tribal or flicker shells where you're already flooding the board with flyers. Legacy and Vintage are legal on paper, but no competitive shell has any reason to touch a seven-mana do-nothing threat. Oathbreaker is legal but the format's lower starting life total rewards efficiency she doesn't offer.
