The easiest T1 2/3 flyer, How you ask? Quite simple, Unholy strength there is also the option to make it into a 0/2 Birds of Paradise with Paradise mantle if you're into that

@ TheSwarm: There's a couple things wrong with your plan.
1: Ancestral Recall and Tolarian Academy are both Banned/Restricted, so you won't have two Recalls to play and most people in that particular format are going to have at least one or two ways to stop an Overrun.
2:You can't play that Overrun anyways, since you only have 1 green mana source.

@ 001010011100101110:
Ornithopter has 0 attack. There is absolutely no point in fighting with him unless you boost him up some how. (holy strength, unholy strength, giant growth, bla bla bla)

Okay, for anybody saying ornithopter is "broken", you need to understand that this card itself isn't in any way. In Mirrodin block, was Ornithopter making the game entirely unfair because almost every deck used it? NO. Ornithopter was good in one deck, and the "broken" part of that deck wasn't the artifact lands or the ornithopter, it was the mechanic affinity for artifacts. The mechanic made it so easy to get things out early and made the game unfair, not some zero mana 0/2 flyer, that's not really helping anybody. What I do know about "broken" cards is Ancestral Recall, Black Lotus, and Demonic Tutor are broken because basically any deck can stick them in and that deck will be better. Neither Vampire Hexmage or Dark Depths are broken, the combo between them is broken and so they ban one of the cards in the combo even though neither of those two cards alone dominate the entire form... (see all)

Works pretty nicely in an exalted deck for attacking...

0/2 Flying for 0 cmc?
This card is amazing. Now that we have Memnite and Master of Etherium, you can throw 4 of each, with some baubles, maybe Ponders and you have a turn 1 wrecking ball.
It takes some careful planning to make a card like this good. But a good strategist would see this as an invaluable asset to almost any artifact deck.
5/5

Bring back the retro artwork. This art looks like a flying spider-thingy...the other one at least looked remotely passable as a flying machine. Also great card in any deck and a staple for artifact decks. Fits well into storm decks, artifact decks, ninja decks (usually you'll be able to get at least one hit in with your seemingly innocent 0/2 flyer before an opponent realises what they're up against). Overall a great creature.
