I don't think this card is an homage to abilities past, I think it's mocking that one guy that shows up at your LGS once every few years and plays his old decks that have all these crappy abilities in them because he doesn't buy new cards.

Take note that the card itself is done in the fashion of the older sets. I thought that was clever.

He's got Flanking. Flanking is good.

He's a good 7/7 for {G}{G} but get your use from him, you'll lose him on turn 8. Worth it for the "WTF" from people at the table though.

My favorite part of this card is that it's printed in the old style, with the white text up top and "Summon" instead of "Creature".
And as an Old Fogey myself (Came in when Weatherlight was new), everything I love and hate about Magic over the years is in this card.

Sadly, my favorite part is that that's the Time Machine Time Machine in the background.

He is perfect, only need a new flavor tex:
"These kids today with their collector numbers and their newfangled tap symbol, mythic rare$ and plane$walker$. Twenty Black Lotuses, twenty Mox and twenty Plague Rats. Now that's real Magic."
