Brotip: Play in human decks. No, really, why the flying f*ck is everyone complaining how it's abilities are "conditional"? Let me tell you why: because otherwise it'd be just plain stupid. Oh, I suppose you want to throw in "unblockable" as another keyword ability, too? Is nothing enough?
This angel is flavorful, fun and has a noticeably big rack. What is there to complain? If mythics didn't have any drawbacks at all, or would be ridiculuously OP, then people would be blaiming Wizards for making them powercreep. All I can say is that they did a fine job on this card.
It has an evasion, is practically invincible, BUT IT DOESN'T FIT TO EVERY GOD DAMN DECK. That's what a good mythic is all about, to me at least.
PS: Yes, I did happen to pull one just two days ago from a booster pack. Will be making a human tribal deck, just because of this card. And one Elite Inquisitor, of course.

She's the only 5-drop angel out there that can say "I can kill Baneslayer Angel and live to tell the tale". That's damn impressive.

This card and Angel of Flight Alabaster are my two favorites of this Innistrad bloc, even more so than Garruk and Liliana

I really like how Wizards handled the mythics in Innistrad; they're balanced, but still powerful. This angel is a prime example. She's very strong, but only when built around. You can't just throw her into any deck with white in it and call it a day, the way people used to do with Baneslayer Angel.
When I saw Baneslayer, my first thought was "...Well, that's overpowered."
When I saw Angelic Overseer, my first thought was "Wow, that's cool-- time to make a Human tribal deck for her!"
In short, Overseer encourages unique & creative deck-building, whereas Baneslayer and its ilk (Titans, Wurmcoil Engine, Massacre Wurm, etc) encourage the exact opposite.
Luckily, Innistrad is a sign that things may be moving in the right direction. It seems Wizards may have finally learned that "mythic" should mean "unique, flashy, and build-around-me"... NOT "overpowered, play-me-in-every-deck because I'm Just Plain Better."

Someone at the prerelease today cracked a booster, which contained two of those (One in foil) and a Garruk. It was astounding. We figured, that the chance of opening three mythics in one pack was around one to 46 thousand.

It's okay, but it just doesn't feel "mythic" to me. Actually, I thought it was a regular rare and did a double-take when I noticed the orange expansion symbol.

I hear people saying this card is a bit "conditional" And for this, I've got something to say:
Step 1. Xenograft
Step 2. Angelic Overseer
Step 3. Trollface.jpg
I think you see where I'm going with this.

This card with a playset of Student of Warfare and Hedron-Field Purists makes for some incredible field advantage, especially when you throw in a Baneslayer Angel and Akroma, Angel of Wrath right next to her.
