D'aww. So cute.
Not quite as cute as Brass Squire, I think. But still really cute. And actually pretty useful, too; flying and vigilance is a good combination, and to give that to any deck that wants it for 2 colorless is quite good. I'm glad they gave it a 2-butt, also.

It s not overpowered, but many interested designs will become "strictly worse than Hovermyr"
Also, RIP, Stormcrow

Will need four for my Myr collection regardless of playability. As it is, though, highly playable and highly awesome.
EDIT: The more I look at this card, the more I like it, which is saying a lot since I adored it as soon as I saw it. This guy is not only strictly better than Omega Myr, but he is also largely better than Alpha Myr, too, since Alpha is stuck fighting on the ground. No, he doesn't make mana, like some of his more popular cousins, but that isn't the point. He is the most combat-viable turn-two myr available short of any VERY lucky draw that somehow manages to power Myr Superion out.
This little dude is going right into my Myr Tribal deck in place of Alpha.
EDIT #2: Something interesting I have noticed since playtesting this guy: he is awesome. He fits perfectly into the curve in a Myr-themed deck. He hits the board early as a minor flying in the air or he can be tutored out with the mana from My... (see all)

This pair of abilities is killer.
Get in evasion damage, and still be able to block anything that isn't unblockable?
I have him in my own version of Tempered Stell archetype, and often, when watching people play what's call the "Hawkward" deck, or a small deviation from it, I notice that they do not use him.
It might just be me, but I believe it's negligent to not run this guy in this archetype.
If you don't have room, find room. It's worth it.

Pretty good. Pump it up for a flying vigilant attacker, or use it as a chump blocker for angels and dragons and other flying deathtraps.

@Myr Battlecube.
But Hovermyrs not strictly better then squire because squire is white!! and Hovermyr can get hit by shatter!!! or plummet!!!
Hey if there hitting ur hovermyr with either of those your 2 DROP just more then payed for itself. and if they hit squire with a go for the throat then ur opponent has down syndrom.
Ya you can say, but squire can get pumped by a lord, or honor of the pure.. ect
But thats only in a very specific deck, and hovermyr can fit into ANY deck with LANDS.
SOOOO I see your definition, but it fails. In a contained instance, hovermyr is not strictly better then so and so. but all day long..... IT IS.

about time myr tribal got a solid flier, particularly good in constructed decks. Running it alongside Indomitable Archangel if your concerned about flying and artifact hate. While your at it, run Brass Squire, Puresteel Paladin, Etched Champion, and other solid equipment.
