This was apparently part of an uncommon "creature types matter" cycle. Originally it was -X/-X, where CX is the number of zombies you control. They had trouble balancing it, ran out of time, and eventually just punted and changed X to 2... and left everything else the same.
There have actually been a lot of "candid confession" stories on the site about Innistrad/Dark Ascension/Avacyn Restored development. For example, the confession that Archangel's Light was a last minute replacement for a card that they thought might be broken.

Was Keening Banshee too good, guys?
@ loose35007
Elite Inquisitor has protection from zombies, so it can't be the target of abilities from zombie sources.

It's a zombie, but otherwise I'd prefer Keening Banshee

Pretty bad compared to both Skinrender (which is, to be fair, really awesome), and Morkrut Banshee, although I see the place where you might play this guy over her, since she has no guarantee of setting off her CIP.
It's comparatively sad. For all these numbers put together, I'd probably say that it would go better at common than at uncommon.

I'll be sticking to Skinrender. Could have at least had undying.

We are most definitely looking at Chimney Imp's new partner in crime.

This isn't terrible, Skinrender's just amazing. That being said, 5 mana for a 2/2 french vanilla is pretty underwhelming. Undying would have been very nice. 1/5
