When you get an effect that gives all your creatures +2/+2 when you have threshold and a flying 6/6 that does not sux

this is meh. Here is why. If you have a deck that can regularly pump out 8 mana and 7 cards in the graveyard before the other guy wins, you're usually not going to have many creatures floating around. You'd probably rather have Akroma, Angel of Wrath.

It's really not bad at all in mono-white control. All those late-drawn weenies aren't dead weight in your hand while she's in play.
There is definitely better team pump in white. Just look at Glorious Anthem, Honor of the Pure, Captain of the Watch. Plus, this pump is conditional. No me gusta.

As someone said, late game in a mono-white weenie deck, this card can turn your once feeble cards into a threat. Unfortunately that will make this prime target for a quick removal. 4/5

Run with white token-making Sorcerys and Instants.

I have a black reanimator deck online that has several creatures it can't cast. This is one.

This is sort of obsoleted by Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. It gives -2/-2 to creatures you don't control, doesn't have a requirement,has an extra point of toughness, and is less color intensive. The only real drawback is that it doesn't swing for six in the air, but that isn't really the point of the card.

guys stop comparing her to modern cards, and sure sure Akroma would be nice but if i have a horde out i'd rather be able to swing with a boosted swarm for 20 than with a single angel for 6

Really cool art. If only it cost {2} less...

8 for a 6/6 flier that can do an insane boost to all of your creatures isn't too bad. Perhaps 1 less would be nice, considering it's triple white, but still. Formidable enough.

Token-producers like Spectral Procession and Raise the Alarm simultaneously give you several creatures to be buffed while padding your graveyard. In a regular weenie deck, seven cards in the graveyard probably means seven dead creatures, or less creatures in play. Still, such a strategy is generally going to be too fast for the Seraph to be necessary....

A nice-enough card in token EDH, but I decided not to use it in my Elesh Norn Deck. The Grand Cenobite herself, Honor of the Pure, Intangible Virtue, Crusade, Glorious Anthem, Crescendo of War, Leonin Sun Standard, and more are all in there. There comes a time where you have enough buffs on your creatures and the rest of your deck needs to be either 1.) Making more babies, or 2.) Protecting them from destruction.
The high cost and conditional boost (in a format where graveyard destruction is not overly uncommon) eventually made me overlook her for cheaper options.

In the time between casting it and casting this (considering the fact that, say, going from 2-3 mana is usually 1 turn, but 6-7 mana is usually a couple turns) Serra Angel just wins the game.
I did that without even mentioning Baneslayer Angel.
