Radiant Solar enters as a 4/4 flying lifelink that immediately mills you and can self-reanimate by exiling cards from your graveyard — all on a five-mana body that pays for itself the turn it lands. In Sefris of the Hidden Ways decks specifically, the enter-the-battlefield mill triggers Sefris on the spot, and the built-in recursion means you rarely need a second copy.

Sefris of the Hidden Ways
Sefris of the Hidden Ways runs Radiant Solar in over 91% of lists because the Angel's ETB mill fires Sefris's dungeon trigger the moment it hits the battlefield, and its self-reanimation loop keeps that trigger available every turn cycle without needing additional support.

Radiant Solar is a Commander card through and through — the graveyard synergy, self-reanimation, and life gain all scale with the longer game and multiplayer life totals that define the format. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but irrelevant; five mana for a value engine with no immediate board impact doesn't compete in those formats. Commander is the only context where Radiant Solar earns its slot, and there it earns it cleanly in any Esper or Mardu shell that wants to churn through a graveyard.
