VirtueVsVice: 4 mana? That wouldn't be mere power creep, that'd be power sprint. Most colours don't even get 4/4 for 4 mana, let alone 4/8 (in a mountain-heavy deck).
In fact, I can't offhand think of a 4/4 for 4 or better creature that didn't come with some kind of horrible cost, although I suspect white and green may have a couple hidden somewhere.
It wouldn't just be better than Earth Elemental, it'd be absurdly better. (Not that that's overly difficult.)

4/10 on turn 6 in a all red deck is... interesting... but not particularly useful. RDWs doesn't need this guy.

I would love to love earth elementals in this game if they were actually good.

It would be much more playable if it only had a CMC of 4, or maybe if the cost stayed but it got +1/+0 instead (like everyone has already said).

Doesn't feel red at all.

The toughness boost is a flavor thing, even though as is it's crap.

I have to agree with all of you guys. This card does not feel red.
If it was +1/+0 per mountain it would feel red, but being +0/+1 it just feels like it should have been a white weenie.
