The lifegain scales off bodies already committed, which is the design tension that defines it: a 4/4 flyer for six mana is a poor deal in the abstract, and the trigger only pays off if you have spent the early turns flooding the table. That makes it a payoff card masquerading as a finisher, the back end of a go-wide curve rather than something you cast on an empty board. The number stays modest in a vacuum and balloons quickly behind a token swarm, so the angel functions as a soft reset against an aggressive opponent who has been trading into your team: you stabilize at a life total they cannot easily race while leaving a flying clock on the table. Token-and-blink strategies sharpen the edge further, since each re-entry recounts the whole board, but the core identity does not need a combo to justify it. It rewards width rather than tall threats, gaining nothing from a single fat body and everything from a wide, cheap one. The body itself is incidental, a flying 4/4 attached to a number that does the real work; the card lives or dies by how full the battlefield is the moment it lands.
