Sephara, Sky's Blade4WWW
Legendary Creature - Angel (Rare)
You may pay W and tap four untapped creatures with flying you control rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Flying, lifelink
Other creatures you control with flying have indestructible. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy them.)

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Well, hello there. This card was literally made for commander. Note that due to the wording, the alternate casting cost dodges the commander tax.
Yeah, you still have to pay the commander tax since you're casting Sephara from the command zone (and the commander tax is a mandatory additional cost). However, considering she only needs to get in three times to kill an opponent (if she's your commander), it's still worth it in most cases.
Nicest thing yet is that by playing her for her alternate cost you have free mana to cover her from removal (most of the time anyway).
Love that...
On the other hand, can't wait to hear Desolator's opinion on her alternate cost, either it will be a hell of a rant or just "meh, you'll never be able to pay that in standard"
So I take it this entire cycle is gonna be super Timmy iconics. Please let red's be a legendary better Dragon Tyrant. Please let red's be a legendary better Dragon Tyrant...
I'm not so sure about this seeing modern play. Needing 4 creatures with flying is rather specific, outside of WB tokens. Given its sweeper protection, it may replace an anthem, but afaik that deck hasn't been competitive for some time now. And Battle Screech does not appear to be that huge an upgrade over what the deck could do so far to change that.

WB tokens will not be tier 1, but this is an interesting option for the deck. When you have 8 cards that can single-handedly help you cast this for the alternative cost, it is pretty consistent. Just not sure she is impactful enough to warrant a spot. Maybe sideboard?
If your goal is to cast her on Turn 4, I think Modern is the best shell.

Nope, the same as Zahid, additional costs as the commander tax is still paid
Turn 1 mana dork, turn 2 lingering souls, turn 3 flashback lingering souls cast this bam 7/7 flying lifelinker and your lingering souls are indestructible roadblocks.

MTGS forum posters still havent learned that three colour Goldfishing in Eternal formats, never is as broken as it looks in their mind's eye.
Give irony and sarcasm, when ignorance and stupidity is found.
The whip is kept for special occasions
That's an angel I'm happy to build a deck around for.

What am I missing here?NVM, I always forget that HotH makes non-legendary copies.
The token and the real Sephara make each other indestructible.

Another great angel tribal commander too! The art is amazing.
EDIT: Looking at the art more closely. I wonder if she's the angel depicted in Force of Virtue?
