Oddly enough, this also reduces the cost of Crib Swap (and other tribal changeling spells).

Kaalia of the Vast is actually great with this.
Kaalia herself is a human. So this will help a LOT with paying the "I Hate Your Commander" Tax, also known as the "Sol Ring" Tax, also known as the 2 mana you pay extra every time your Commander dies. Basically that 2 mana is now 1 mana with this. A savvy table does not let Kaalia live long enough to be useful, but if you can fetch this, you're quite happy because you can now cast your Commander easily with probably Just a Sol Ring and this.
the less mana ramp you have to run, the more room for bombs you have. Kaalia REALLY want to run lots of bombs, so the more -efficient- mana ramp you can find- not just by one or color-shifting but really honest to goodness ramping for cheap- Kaalia loves that because it supports the general being under heavy fire and it lets you play your stuff when you can't defend Kaalia. And you won't be able to always guarantee her safety.
It only works on Angels....but seriously folks, it only NEEDs to work o... (see all)

Might be good to run this with any members of Theros's ordeal cycle. The Herald's ability will make the Ordeals Sacrifice more quickly, and the Ordeals will speed up the Herald's cost reduction.

Surprised nobody's mentioned Archangel of Thune.
