Beacon of the Vigilant
Exemplar of Light is a sturdy angel that rewards life gain with board growth and card advantage. As a 3 3 flying creature for {2}{W}{W}, it slots into white lifegain shells or midrange lists that want incremental threats. Each time you gain life you place a +1 +1 counter on the Exemplar of Light and when one or more counters are placed on it you draw a card, though that draw only triggers once per turn.
The borderless Foundations treatment emphasizes the angelic theme and the art makes its radiance readable at a glance. In play this card acts as both a finisher and a utility engine. It scales with small amounts of life gain and rewards incremental plays by turning life into permanent power and card selection. Consider it for decks that value incremental advantage and recurring threats. Pick one up to shore up your late game and to turn each point of life into board presence.
