I like it, its got a mix of abilities, servos enter as 2/2 so its an Anthem with Flying Vigilance and Lifelink, although I think You would use the Fabricate as a last resort for this creatures as its nice as a 4/3.
It reminds me of that elf with Fabricate 2-
the decision is weighted by the fact that the token creator makes the tokens better.
This is quite loaded with abilites.
It may be very good (if going wide has unseen upsides),
or it may just be okay (if 4/3 flying lifelink vigilance anthem could ever be "just okay")

You guys are looking at this wrong. It might be fragile, but the options it presents rewards good players. If you think your opponent has removal, you get two servos, that way she leaves behind something when she eats a removal spell. If you don't think your opponent has removal, you play her as a 4/3 beat stick. If your opponent is going wide you get servos so you can block, if your opponent is going tall, she's a 4/3 so you can block, possibly take out their guy, and gain some life. If you have any other creatures out, she just gets better.
Comparing her to Gideon is fair, because she does basically what Gideon does at about the same rate, but trades durability for evasion and lifelink. Hell, there could be a mono-white deck that plays both. I'm imagining a curve of Thalia's Lieutenant> Oath of Gideon> Gideon> Angel of Invention.

so if i am that player do i get to sleep with his girlfriend ?
Everything about this card feels one number off to me. Fabricate 3 would make it feel really threatening as a 5-mana mythic. That 2/1 base P/T makes me feel sad if there are any "deal one damage to each creature" effects in limited. Being a 4/3 makes it poor against Fiery Temper/Incendiary Flow and any other 3 damage/minus effects.
Hopefully I'm wrong and this is a player in the new Standard and/or Kaladesh limited promotes going wide.
I think this is the Ishkanah, Grafwidow of the set as being the underrated mythic. The GW Angel/Token deck that's around in standard right now would love her. Besides the 6/5 body across three creatures, the anthem will be really good with Nissa and Gideon.
Not bad! Plays well in control, plays well in token strategies. It does two different things for two different archetypes, although it does neither particularly efficiently.
(I'm talking about lower-end Cube, by the way)
Dying to any burn-based removal is a strike against it, though. I eagerly await the day when someone kills this with a Gut Shot.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Deranged Hermit was good, and this is a Hermit that can opt to be a big, dumb beater if going wide isn't an option. The power is certainly there, the only question is whether or not there is an appropriate shell for this new Angel.

To be fair, nothing can be better than squirrel tokens.
It's a mythic because baneslayer angel is a mythic, and this card is closest to baneslayer angel in how it usually plays although it has the advantage of being able to split up in case they are reliant on pinpoint removal. Really solid card. Avacyn is a hell of a card right now though will rotate eventually.

Why does every card seem better with that darn thing.

"Kiora is the Aquaman of planeswalkers."
"Useless and everyone pretends to like her?"
Sure does. Against black you'd get servos instead of counters off of Fabricate and then slow roll to play around Flaying Tendrils or DODS
Avacyn doesn't technically pass the "Grasp of Darkness" test either - although she's a better card overall than this for most decks.
Plus she's not legendary.

I think the stats on this card gives it much more utility than is initially apparent.
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
