Razia, Boros Archangel hits the board as an 6/3 flying, vigilance, haste threat that can redirect 3 damage per turn from your creatures to opposing ones — a meaningful combat trick stapled to a body. Eight mana is the brutal catch: by the time she resolves in Commander, faster decks have already closed the game.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the only realistic home for Razia, Boros Archangel — the format's longer games and singleton rules give her room to breathe, and Boros decks hungry for a finisher with built-in utility will consider her. She's legal in Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but eight mana is a non-starter in any competitive 60-card context where she'd never survive to see an attack step. In Oathbreaker she's theoretically playable but faces the same mana ceiling that plagues her everywhere. Treat her as a Commander card, full stop.

Price Context
Current price
$0.86 bulk tier
At $0.86, Razia, Boros Archangel sits firmly in bulk territory — easy to acquire, but the price reflects honest demand rather than a hidden gem. She holds value as a casual Commander option, but don't expect the price to move unless a new Boros-Angel precon pushes her back into the spotlight.
