Opal Archangel

Enchantment

When an opponent plays a creature spell, if Opal Archangel is an enchantment, Opal Archangel becomes a 5/5 Angel creature with flying and vigilance.

Opal Archangel is better than an Archangel because it still becomes a 5/5 with flying vigilance pretty easily while only costing 5 mana. Lyra Dawnbringer is out of my price range for sure.

I like this, but I think a better angel as commander is in order. Creature activated abilities are just not what they used to be. That said, I have had mono-white EDH decks for years, and still run one that does very well.
