Selenia, Dark Angel card art
Selenia, Dark Angel is a 4/4 flier who pays for herself by bouncing back to hand — resilient, evasive, and the engine behind life-payment loops that close games instantly with Repay in Kind. The cost is a five-mana commander who needs specific support to win rather than a generically powerful threat.

Commander is where Selenia, Dark Angel belongs — her self-bounce ability is designed for the command zone, and the Orzhov color identity gives access to every life-drain and life-payment tool she needs. In Legacy and Vintage she's legal but completely absent from those formats; a five-mana 4/4 with no immediate board impact doesn't compete at those tables. Oathbreaker is legal but similarly unattractive — her game plan requires too many support pieces to function in that compressed format.
