A cost-effective alternative for the overpowered Baneslayer Angel.

Iconic white angel.
It really does seem lackluster next to Baneslayer Angel sadly.
4/5 for totally biased non-mechanic related nostalgia.

Let's do some consideration...

A bad 5 mana angel -> Starlit Angel.
A good 5 mana angel -> Melesse Spirit, Angel of Light.
A very good 5 mana angel -> Serra Angel, Shepherd of the Lost, Angel of Flight Alabaster.
A too good 5 mana angel -> Baneslayer Angel, Angelic Overseer.

Now that we have Planeswalker cards what I really hope for, at some point in the future, is an appearance in the game from Serra herself.

I mean.. Obviously Baneslayer Angel is better, but goshdarnit I like this card more. Just because it isnt as ridiculously overpowered, like a 5/5 flying first strike lifelink with protection from a large part of red and black? This just fits better.

Serra Angel: A great card long before Baneslayer Angel ever showed up, and a great card long after Baneslayer Angel rotates out and is never seen again. This is your darkest hour, Serra Angel, and my Magic binder shall keep you safe in these dangerous times.

Significantly easier to get a hold of than Baneslayer, and just barely under her in terms of power. Lifelink and First Strike aren't that hard to get in White, which leaves only BS's protection from Dragons and Demons. And since Black and Red have been recently leaning a bit more towards non-Demons (Black seems more interested in the undead-themed Creature types) and non-Dragons, that ability isn't too much of a loss.

Considering you can turn Serra Angel into a Baneslayer with Vigilance for only a few more mana at the cost of pro Demons and pro Dragons - and on an Uncommon, no less - Serra Angel is pretty damn good.
