It's green!!! I shouldn't have to attack to get a 5/3. It makes the ever sad craw worm look useful : P

It's not meant to be better than Mosstodon or Beacon Behemoth, at least not in every situation. If you honestly think that this card is just a 5/3 is a very slow magic player. I'm sorry, I thought crafty pathmage abilities were fairly obvious.

When I first saw this card I was like "Whoah, +5 when it attacks? Sweet!"
Too bad i kept reading.....

This card is retarded. It would have been FAR simpler just to make it a vanilla 5/3. Or heck, a 5/4. This is just bad design.

Completely terrible. Compare to Mosstodon. Heck, I'd rather play Stampeding Rhino and get 1 more toughness, power on blocking, and trample for the price of 1 power on the attack.
And everybody thought M10 was overpowered. Hello, Chimney Imp II!

Not too bad in Limited. But otherwise, no. Mosstodon for the same cost.

There is one reason that springs to mind for why this card is so atrociously useless: its name is Mosstodon.
Mosstodon is the same cost to cast, has 5 power even when defending, and has a useful ability. It's also a common, making Bramble Creeper pointless in every way.
The same argument can be made for Beacon Behemoth, and no doubt countless other green cards. Bramble Creeper is about as deadly or desirable as actual brambles.
Edit: it's true that there are some benefits to having a low power that is then boosted upon attack. Goblin Tunneler is something that would help it out, although Valakut Fireboar would be a better candidate than this.

It's too bad the ability wasn't "when bramble creeper becomes tapped", as that would make for many many many beneficial and huge combos with this guy, making him great at common, acceptable in limited, and powerful in standard.
