In most sets, the green creature with ETB 2 life gets laughed at even in Limited, With the Witherbloom lifegain theme, that might not be the case... in Limited.

Heck, every day I wake up, I don't go out and kill people - and I'm rewarded by not having legions of enemies! Amazing how that works.
Although ninjas are experts of camouflage and concealment, they are actually horrible liars. This means that no matter where you are, you can shout out, “Are there any ninjas here?” and if there’s a ninja within earshot, he’ll be compelled to respond.
I'm always bugged when we get these beautiful, magical creatures, but they're at common, do so little, and will never see play outside of limited. I want to fill an EDH deck with these sorts of critters, but they all suck.

Also, I'd say it comes close to being strictly worse than Sylvan Brushstrider. Beasts have tribal support, Elk, as far as I know, do not.
