I agree a lower dash cost or having the token enter tapped and attacking would make more sense, but having a dash option at all is really good for adding pressure while not overextending into a sweeper, or getting guaranteed damage plus a token after a sweeper resolves.
This card will be the worst rare in RTR and less remembered than skaab ruibator in three months. It struggles to be on the same power level as mass of ghouls, even in limited.
That its not simply "not good enough for competitive", or underpowered. But that this is offensively bad, the real stinker tier.
Still, my best evaluation is that its approximately on the same power level as a 4/4 for 4 vanilla beater.
The Dash ability in this card is meant to portray Dash as a counter sweeper option and not as a source of repeatable abilities/synergy. It's simply a card that dogdes sorcery speed removal and thrives on open boards, the kind of creature you want in your match ups vs. control decks. It's a fair SB choice for any Mardu deck (including Mardu control) in the UB and WUR match ups. It is also a obvious role player in limited.

It's also an incredibly relevant topdeck with dash as an option late game, as haste is very important an effect at that point to push through blockers. I'd much rather dash it and give it haste and get an immediate token if I'm running on empty that just hardcast it.
By the way, @ the two dudes above me about to enter a pissing contest, your sigs are hilarious.
