Archetypes

Fliers Tribal — Radiant scales directly with the number of fliers, rewarding a dedicated evasive board.
Tokens — Mass-producing flying tokens both grows Radiant and fields an evasive swarm.
Aggro/Midrange — Vigilance and growth let Radiant pressure life totals while defending the board.
Voltron — Radiant can be a one-creature threat when buffed by anthems and equipped with evasion/protection.

Flying, vigilance

Radiant gets +1/+1 for each other creature on the battlefield with flying.

Build a wide board of flying creatures so Radiant grows huge, then close with evasive beats backed by mono-white's strong protection and anthem effects. You play a tribal aggro/midrange game, flooding the air and turning Radiant into a massive vigilant threat that blocks and attacks profitably.

Vigilance plus a scaling buff makes Radiant both a strong attacker and an excellent blocker against other fliers

Fliers tribal in white has deep support: anthems, lords, and token generators

Mono-white access to cheap protection, board wipes you survive, and efficient removal

Self-sufficient commander that grows just from any fliers (including opponents') being in play

Mono-white lacks card draw and ramp, leading to topdeck struggles in long games

Commander offers no built-in card advantage or recursion

Vulnerable to spot removal and edicts that strip your evasive threats

Symmetrical flier buff can also pump opposing fliers as blockers

Serra Avatar

A massive flier that synergizes with going wide and Radiant's pump for huge lifelinking damage.

Akroma's Memorial

Gives your whole flying army evasion, haste, and protection to push lethal alpha strikes.

Dovescape

Turns noncreature spells into 1/1 flying Birds, fueling Radiant and stalling combo decks.

Smothering Tithe

Mono-white's premier ramp/card-advantage engine to overcome its color weaknesses.

Archetype of Imagination-style anthems

Flyer anthems like Gravitational Shift swing combat math heavily in your favor.

Swords to Plowshares

Best-in-class cheap removal to clear blockers or threats before the alpha strike.

Add ramp and card advantage to patch white's weaknesses: Smothering Tithe, Land Tax, Mind's Eye, and fast mana like Sol Ring and Mana Vault. Lean harder into flier payoffs (Gravitational Shift, Coastal Piracy-style draw, Cathars' Crusade with tokens) and add protection like Heroic Intervention's white analog (Flawless Maneuver, Teferi's Protection) so a single wipe doesn't end your game. Tighten the curve with efficient flier producers and consider Reconnaissance for combat blowouts.
