I like it. It's a little bit like Phyrexian Rebirth.

Normally Wrath effects are rare rather than mythic. I don't know if the angel token is enough to put this over the edge into mythic territory.

Perhaps you could invert it, to make this a 5/5 Angel which is permanently indestructible, and has an ETB trigger to destroy all creatures? Like a mythic version of a Sunblast Angel. (If it's permanently indestructible then I suggest it also not have shroud.)

Oh, sadly the name here is a bit too similar to Radiant's Judgment.

Changed it, let me know what you think.

I think that's more suitable for mythic, yeah. A wrath with a 5/5 indestructible Angel is pretty awesome.

(I didn't mean that the token needs the ETB trigger, sorry. I can see how that was confusing. I meant that this spell could be "Creature - Angel" rather than a Sorcery. It worked fine the way you had it before: "Put a token... Destroy all creatures.")

I wanted this to be a sorcery, so a to be - A. not as easily recurable, and B. to fit the flavor of the card itself. The angel is summoned by the absolute strife of the "good" people of Homelands to quench it of the suffering caused by the absolute evil that is Baron Sengir and his minions. But I'll put the destroy effect back on the card instead of the trigger, shorten the card up nicely at least.

Sorcery rather than creature in order to be not so easily recurrable is a very sensible consideration.

I did design it first as a creature, but then I remembered what sort of recursion exists in EDH...and I just went.. O_O..that is a bad idea! ALL THE SORCERIE!!!

This is a cool, powerful card. It would be at home in any other set, but your set is extremely low power on average, and I feel like this card is too far over the curve in comparison.

I designed it flavor first, but each color has an out of proportion power card. But I like this design as a top-down angel of judgment style card.

Updated to new "create" terminology, and removed indestructibility from the angle- card order is destroy, then create.

changed to 3/4 angle with the tap ability trigger to match brilliant hope.
