Is everyone just ignoring the fact that it has morph? Yes, it's still not great, but it was designed to be played face down, not hard-casted. It was meant to be blocked in it's innocent little 2/2 frame, then flipped up to kill whatever large creature had the misfortune of blocking it (or had the misfortune of BEING blocked by it). The element of surprise is critical.
The ploblem, of course, is that attacking with a 2/2 morph shell with seven mana open is the biggest nudge-nudge wink-wink this side of Monty Python. It's hard to hold the element of surprise with a big mana cost to flip, unlike, say, Putrid Raptor, which can suddenly eat opposing creatures if your foe isn't careful, even when you're tapped out. Also, that kind of trick only works once on someone. And finally, if you're going for a "little-creature-is-really-a-big-one" trick, you might as well use Krosan Cloudscraper.
Though, Ixidor, Reality Sculptor ha... (see all)

Why such a low rating? I've been losing the game and this card turned it around for me so many times.

Even Enormous Baloth is better. 8 mana for a 7/6? Just not worth it at all.

@DoctorKenneth: your opponent will see that you have ixidor, reality sculptor, and a morph card, and 2U open. Granted, he might not know what it is, but he's probably going to be somewhat wary just knowing what morph cards in general do and that you could flip iup anything with that combo.

Morph is interesting mechanic.
It certainly allows the player to play it face down in early game.
If the creature survived until the player can flip it to 'upgrade' the card.
Many players seem to ignore this fact and compare this card to Terra Stomper and other green fatties.
Can Terra Stomper be casted as 2/2 using 3 mana?
Does it do anything on early game?
Of course, there are better creatures to cast on turn 3, but this card is certainly more versatile.
Think of Burst Lightning.
