Title: Group Consesus pt. 4

Is {Archangel's Light} a good/bad card? Why?

It's good in self mill infinitely, and a great sideboard against heavy removal, but other than that it's terrible. With 8 mama I'd rather cast {Avacyn}.

In the right deck and/or vs the right opponent maybe? But probably not. If you're playing vs. mill sure but remember 8 mana against control is just begging to be countered

It's meh. It costs too much and is dependant on whether you have creatures in your graveyard. And there is a lot of graveyard removal sooooooo...

I use this card in my Dega Commander deck. If its so bad, what's a good way to replace it?

Do you want the life gain or the reshuffling?

Life gain: {Congregate} can help
Reshuffling: {Elixir of Immortality}

Its highly niche. In the self mill {Laboratory Maniac} deck, it can be the difference between winning and losing. Despite that, it sucks and its too expensive

Well the combo of the 2 both cost {3}{W}{W} which is way lower CMC

To be honest, the card has helped me out a lot, despite people saying otherwise. I suppose it comes down to personal taste and experience.
