Aerial Responder definitely isn't a top tier 3-drop, but it's very playable, it's just nowhere near the top of the 3-drop creature section in white.
Cards I'd rank above Aerial Responder:
- Blade Splicer
- Brimaz
- Eldrazi Displacer (assuming you support colorless)
- Flickerwisp
- Hallowed Spirit Keeper
- Monastery Mentor
- Recruiter of the Guard
- Thalia, Heretic Cathar
Cards I'd rank about equal to Aerial Responder
- Mirran Crusader
- Soltari Champion
- Mirror Entity
Cards I'd rank below Aerial Responder
- Silverblade Paladin (I expect this to spark many arguments)
- Fiendslayer Paladin
- Frontline Medic
I'm going to test it just because I'm in the market for some life gain cards and this definitely fits the bill. I don't expect it to stand the test of time, but I think it's worth a spin.
I have zero interest in this card. We still run Vampire Nighthawk, but it's probably our worst and least exciting black 3 drop right now, and I forsee it being cut soon. White just doesn't need this card, and I don't want too many french vanillas anyway (and we just got Gisela).

I am also playing Bygone Bishop, and I count Exalted Angel, Hidden Dragonslayer and Spectral Procession as 3 drops. I do not know how you rank them but it should push it further down this list. Also I cube Silverblade Paladin over Soltari Champion.
True. It is also a worse topdeck. Also worse in deck with ramp and power which can hardcast it turn 3 or 4. 1WW is an ugly cost.
