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.
I mean, aside from Battle Screech, you also have Lingering Souls and Spectral Procession that see play in the format. It's a bit of a stretch but you could see this as a 1- or 2-of in token decks as an extra finisher, but it does seem kind of win-more in that situation.

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.
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.)
7/7

The token and the real Sephara make each other indestructible.
