You're missing the point of this creature Eridanis. It's actually proven itself extremely successful.
Ever play against a Turboland deck? You really don't want to, because your opponent's turn will last about a half an hour while he kills you with this. The mechanic prevents him from decking himself, and lets him draw and cast time warp infinite times, and swings for 6 every turn.

use this guy in an oath deck with time warp for infinite turns. oath your deck away, put time warp in. easy win.

Pretty decent recursion in {G} EDH. When the game gets on a bit.

Great sideboard choice for mill defense.

I haven't got much to say. I don't think he sees Legacy play, and I am reasonably sure he wasn't popular at the time, either. Surely he has a use, but I'm not sure what it'd be.

At 3GG for a 3/3, way too expensive. On top of that, it self-pump mechanic takes you below your threshold sooner rather than later (if you're able to activate its pump late enough in the game to make it worthwhile, you've probably already lost).
