Serra Angel should be Angel of Serenity



Get the enchantments out, then wait for your opponent to have a few cards worth exiling to cast the angel.

When she hits the field, choose her targets, and put a copy of her onto the field, exiling the original. This triggers Dual Nature to try to get rid of the token, so exile it to Food Chain instead, getting the mana to cast the angel and then some back. The token left the field, so the original angel now goes back to your hand, with mana floating to re-cast it.

Finally, the original angel's triple-exile trigger resolves and her three targets leave permanently.

If worried about getting the mana necessary to even cast the angel, remember that food chain can make any color mana, and can exile token copies of creatures with mana costs to gain more mana. In fact, since its not limited in which color it can make, you could run this in a completely green deck except for the angel for removal, exiling token copies to 'cheat' her out.

Tokens have ZERO mana cost.....so you get no mana from the sacrifice

I had the first same thought, but then I re-read the enchantment.. It says "put a COPY of..".  Tokens do not usually have CMCs, however, the rules do state that tokens that are copies DO in fact carry over all specifics, including CMCs (converted mana costs)..
