In the interest of furthering discussion beyond my original post, the card costs 7 mana, is not evasive, has no immediate board impact and has no special synergy with soul sisters. It is not playable there.
Not at all. If I have enough life for this to be good, it's because my Ascendant/WW horde is buffering my life total, and Avatar is just win-more. If my life total is low, Avatar is a 7CC 6/6 vanilla. Also, once I get to 7 mana, I don't need a fat beater. I'll probably have Emeria or Proclamation of Rebirth up at that point, and that's more of a game over than Avatar could ever be.
I would play Felidar Sovereign before this, and I would never play Felidar Sovereign. I guess if you're playing some weird build with Brave the Elements, this would be slightly better than awful, but that seems more suited to Martyr than Soul Sisters. Soul Sisters doesn't always go to long games, and doesn't want dead cards like this.

Foreigning out SI, currently 33/75. The only thing better than a T1 kill is doing it with cards no one has ever heard of and/or can't read. If anyone has any of the usual pieces, PM me. I'm willing to buy/trade.
I have to agree with every single person who has responded so far. Serra Ascendant is a much better card. Death's Shadow is probably even a better card, and it's crap. Avatar has that noob factor, you know? "Wow, it's really big." But if you're playing competitive magic, the thing is going to be chump blocked by a 1/1 token or just pathed immediately.
I can't see Serra Avatar being a player outside of a ramp deck, and even then for 7CMC in white, you can grab Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite which seems generally better in almost any situation, or at 6CMC Sun Titan might be able to better serve a creature-based deck that will probably lose a Soul Sister or two...
Avatar also has a huge weakness in that if you drop it late game with 3 or 4 life, what's your plan with her, exactly? 7CMC for a 4/4 with zero evasion and an ability that doesn't affect the board is not going to cut it in Modern.
But the cost seems really high for Soul Sisters, which is more of a white weenie deck. Just rely on Serra Ascendant, a fleet of Squadron Hawks, or a weenie with a Sword as your wincons.

This is why I started playing magic in the first place. It wasn't PT aspirations just making noobs cry by doing things that are perfectly fair.

I agree, I feel like it's too slow. You need A LOT of mana.
Also, it doesn't like path very much.

For 4WW you can just play Felidar Sovereign and win the game.
I dont think so, they really top end at 4 with ranger

And no, too high of a cmc and no evasion = no chance.
