Heavenly Hireling
Angelic Sell-Sword reads like a toolkit for midrange white decks that want incremental value and combat control. The creature arrives with flying and vigilance, which lets it pressure opposing planes while still remaining a steady blocker. The enter the battlefield trigger produces a 1/1 red Mercenary creature token, and that token carries a tap ability that can push damage through by granting a target creature you control plus one power until end of turn only as a sorcery.
Play patterns favor pairing this four mana four four with ways to boost its power so the attack trigger becomes a card draw engine. When Angelic Sell-Sword swings and reaches six power or more you draw a card, which turns aggression into resource advantage. In Commander builds from Outlaws of Thunder Junction this card fits roles as attacker, token generator, and a source of steady incremental advantage in extended games.
