Throw her in a green white deck. Green gives you mana ramp, then drop out a Novablast Wurm along side Avacyn and swing away :)

I don't think Worldslayer would have any effect on her....
If you used it, it would just wipe out your own creatures, lands, and your opponent's lands... basically asking for angels to slap you in the face with their indestructible feathers.
(Indestructible means that they cannot be destroyed by effects that say "destroy")

Great card that can shift late game in your favor. She and her Powerpuff Girls really "made" the closing set of Innistrad.
I quickly browsed through the discussion and overall is surprised with amount of hate she is receiving along with how concentrated people get with removals.
Every card in Magic can be responded to. So is Avacyn. Evaluating a card just on how many ways there are to get rid of it is just wrong.
EDIT:
@Henrietta,
I didn't say that removal doesn't matter. It just half of the comments on Gatherer seem to become a list of how much removal is out there to rid of a particular card.
Finally, some cards aren't made for competitive. Avacyn is flavorful and fun to play, so are other angels from AVR, but will never see real play in Standart.

I love how people thought Avacyn would be {W}{B}, either because of Sorin, Lord of Innistrad or because of her CLOTHES. Guys, she's not Angel of Despair. She's THE angel of HOPE.
Anyway, someone should build an EDH deck with sweepers, Worldslayer (maybe Stoneforge Mystic, too) and Avacyn as the Commander. She clearly needs to be a Commander.

Nullifies all destroy effects, damage, can always block, can usually get combat damage through, and is incredibly hard to remove through -1/-1. Only cheap effective cards are white. Hmm... another Mythic that stops the game and lets you collect your forces.

Day of Judgment right after this will lose you many friends.
Unfortunately people have a tendency to run a lot of Tragic Slips these days and those can get rid of her.

Put her on the battlefield with Quicksilver Amulet and have a party. If you resolved a Sol Ring or Mana Crypt on Turn 1 with one land, and play a second land on Turn 2, you can place Quicksilver Amulet on the Battlefield and then use the Amulet on Turn 3 to bring Avacyn onto the Battlefield very early.
Here's an even faster way for decks with green mana: Turn 1 - First land, tap Exploration, second land, tap for Sol Ring, tap Sol Ring for Lightning Greaves . Turn 2 - third land, tap Sol Ring and two lands for Elvish Piper, equip the Piper with Greaves, then use Piper's special ability and tap the third land to bring Avacyn onto the Battlefield. The bonus of this method is that Avacyn can then be equipped with Greaves, not only hitting an opponent for 8 damage on Turn 2, but severely limiting opponents' options for removing her from the Bat... (see all)

Excellent card. Yes she's expensive and yes, you can remove her with -1/-1 counters or whatever but if she hits the board and sticks you should have won. Indestructibility aside, an 8/8 flying vigilance creature is beef enough to turn the tide in your favor. I run her in a Boros deck with Gisela and Aurelia (any one of which should take the game by itself)

One of my favorite Magic cards in general. She's always hilarious to play, even if she gets removed.
