In most decks, either Tombstalker, Grave Titan, Batterskull, or Abyssal Persecutor is stronger than it. And even those usually don't make the cut because of the powerful finishers in other splashed colors. In other colors, it is outclassed not just by those cards, but by Baneslayer Angel, Sun Titan, Blood Baron of Vizkopa, Thundermaw Hellkite, Gideon Jura, Stormbreath Dragon, Elspeth Knight-Errant, Restoration Angel, Tarmogoyf, Sigarda Host of Herons, Inferno Titan, and any number of other cards.
You think BBoV could become a thing on Modern? I love that card, dont die to dismember, path to exile, bolt and lifelink 4/4 body sounds great

He's good and all, but for modern it's just too slow against most decks. Pod would gladly sac a dude at any time, affinity will just sac an ornithopter or a memnite, twin will flash in a guy at the EoT. Its good against the midrange-y decks like jund/junk/rock, or decks playing GosT, but thats about it, and even then, those decks could have removal for it. 4 drops are pretty hard to justify in modern (in most decks).

I love the card too. The main problem is the competition in Baneslayer Angel and Batterskull. However, it is immune to almost every removal spell in the format so I think that it would be great in an Orzhov Control deck if that ever shows up. However, most decks either don't run enough removal to clear away blocks such as Goyf or can't use him because he costs too much.
It has seen play in BGx decks before the banning of Deathrite Shaman. I remember during a GP where a BGx deck at 3 life died to flipping it off a Dark Confidant in the top 16.
He is sometimes played in the Deadguy Ale deck. He's a pretty sweet finisher in the right deck. I wouldn't necessary dismiss him as worse than Persecutor, as Persecutor requires more effort to work. He's less painful to flip to bob than tombstalker, and comes down much earlier than grave titan.
I was durdling around with him in a RB brew as a finisher. It just wasn't consistent enough. Sure if there, no answer, then you win but there are a lot of cards in Modern you can say that about. Persecutor puts on pressure until you find your removal but DD stays tapped until they find theirs.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.

Don't play him against swarm or critter combo like he's gonna pull a Novablast Wurm on the boardstate, though.
