Artifact Creature — Myr
When this creature enters, you may search your library for a Myr card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
"Our resistance is like the myr: small and easily overlooked, but loyal and resilient beyond measure." —Melira
Myr Kinsmith is a versatile artifact creature that serves as both a solid body and a powerful tutor effect for Myr-focused strategies. At four mana for a 3/1 creature, the stats alone are reasonable, but the true value lies in its enters-the-battlefield ability, which lets you search your library for any Myr card and put it directly into your hand. This tutoring effect transforms Myr Kinsmith into a key consistency piece for Myr deck archetypes across multiple formats, allowing you to assemble your synergy pieces, find combo elements, or grab specific answers when you need them most. The flexibility of being able to tutor any Myr makes this card especially valuable in Commander and Brawl, where you're building around a Myr-themed strategy and need reliable ways to find your payoff cards. In Pioneer and Modern, Myr Kinsmith fits into aggressive Myr builds that leverage cards like Ornithopter of Paradise and Steel Overseer, giving you access to lords and utility creatures on demand. The tutoring effect scales incredibly well in longer games while still providing immediate value upon resolution, making this a worthwhile inclusion in any deck centered around the Myr creature type. Whether you're playing casual Commander with a beloved Myr general like Brudiclad or competing in Pioneer with a more competitive Myr shell, Myr Kinsmith provides both the consistency and the presence that Myr decks need to function smoothly.
