For a long time it was restricted in vintage and banned in legacy. When standstill was a dominant deck it provided more long term damage, and in really old days draw sevens were cheap.
From back when people didn't take a children's card game so seriously.
I have a few of these and other oddball goblins like goblin snowman from back in the day. I don't think these are even good enough for draft chaffe anymore.
I think there are some fun things thst can be done with this and pestilence, steadily wiping opponent's creatures and making your own ever larger.
Great with indestructible and persist for hard to remove threats as well.
I still run it in Legacy Burn, usually deals 4 damage out as an opener which is still better then lava spike style cards.

@relentless assault it feels like New Radha should be able to make an infinite combo with this but I have no idea how.
