Just pulled out card:Archangel's Light from a booster pack today. Is there a type of deck that would fit this card? I mean, it's a mythic rare..

I wonder whether this was meant to thwart mill decks, but that high casting cost... ouch!

I think I heard once that the effect that it replaced was the effect that got put onto card:Angel of Glory's Rise but I am not sure if that is true because the artwork doesn't seem to fit that effect.

Sometimes a card gets the Mythic Rare rarity because the powerful effect is also odd and kind of narrow. It's possible to gain a ton of life from card:Archangel's Light, and reclaiming your graveyard can be pretty useful sometimes, but the situations where you'd want this card in your deck are very few.
Another reason it's weird is because it's a last-minute design. The mythic rare life gain card with this art had to be killed very late in the development process (we don't know what it said), and the designers and developers had to scramble to come up with something to put in its place.
