If you aren't rating this a 5, exactly how powerful do you expect a one-drop to be?

Re-looking at this guy; I note a few things:
-Trades with most 4-5 drop finishers, especially if he's got even a trusty machete. Examples include Bloodgift Demon,
-Trades with excessively annoying flyers like Nighthawk, Delver, and even powerful attackers like Taskmaster
-Is an elf. This means he grows over time, taps for mana or increases the mana tapped by things like Priest of Titania, etc..
-Is a t1 play against many of the biggest threats we see and requires an answer if those decks rely on it.
For those calling powercreep, I point to Hidden Spider. While it *is* urza-block, it's even bigger, it can be an attacker, and it hoses the same set of cards. It's worth reminding people that we've survived much worse, even at common.

Compared to most one drop commons this is the bomb. As blurrymadness points out, there have been acceptions. This card is trumped by hidden spider indeed. 4/5 stars for that reason.

This has to be the best 1 drop common creature in the game.
