A nice aura, buffs one of your creatures quite nicely, and makes a mini-Serra Angel, which is the whole flavour of this card...

for 1 more mana you may as well just play serra angel.

At one more mana you might as well throw Serra's Angel in the trash because Baneslayer is the new standard.

Nice alternative for those who don't want to mortgage their house to get a playset of Angelic Destiny.

Expensive, but useful and really great for anything that benefits from Enchantments, I.E. half of Ravnica and a good chunk of Zendikar.

Oracle text lies. This printing doesn't have the flavour text of the Divine vs. Demonic one. Nowadays, use Angelic Destiny instead (though it doesn't grant vigilance).

@Tynansdtm: A common mistake. Premium Foil Tenth Edition cards omitted the reminder text, replacing it with flavor text. This is why you see cards from Tenth with flavor according to Oracle but not in the card image. In my opinion, this was a great idea and should be standard procedure when printing any set, core or otherwise. Seeing the text box uncluttered by (reminder text) looks fantastic. Adding flavor text instead is just gravy.
