Should've gotten something extra, like flying or something. A 3/3 vanilla that requires 3 mana is nothing more than OK, but requiring 3 differently colored mana puts it below OK.

What Chaotic said. Maybe it should be 1/1 or 1/2 or something.

People are rating this card strictly on a power basis, which is idiotic. For a common in an artifact set, this was a very interesting and well balanced card, which I played in numerous limited games. With regard to comparisons to spouting thrinax, these cards would rarely be considered in the same format, and besides, spouting thrinax is only useful in a R/G/B deck, whereas the sountouched myr is potentially useful in any multicolored deck. WOTC can print more powerful cards easily; printing creative and balanced cards is a much more interesting challenge, and much better for the game in the long run.

If you plan on reintroducing the sunburst mechanic what you need to do is make it very good if all colors are spent to play it. ie it gets added evasion (flying, landwalk, etc) or a power boost in another way. Assign some form of sunburst counter( maybe even a charge counter for interesting casual/commander play) for all colors being used, or a maximum amount of colors being used. then assign it a base creature statistic so that it doesnt die from counter removal. i can honestly say i loved the concept of sunburst. i have always loved five colored decks because they are challenging yet rewarding to run. however there were no commons or uncommons with sunburst that even remotely warranted running in any deck. a mana specific 3/3 for 3 is incredibly undewhelming. where as a 3/3 or even a 2/2 that if i payed 3 specific i would instead get a 5/4 or 4/4 trample would have been much more exciting as a player. giving the cards a "sunburst counter" would leave them open to cou...

Basically its a centaur courser that has to be cast with 3 colors. Not only is it considerably more difficult to cast, but it also can be destroyed with smelt. Even for a "limited card", I always felt this was terribly weak. It needed some kind of static ability, or even start off with some base P/T.
Edit: Also aaron, I started playing around mirrodin. I did not like seeing this card in my boosters and it left my impression of the sunburst mechanic as rather terrible. I feel if he was stronger it would have done wonders for the card and for your mechanic.

I really wish the Sunburst mechanic was better... at best here, you get a 3/3 for 3 with a tri-coloured cost. Compare that to things like Woolly Thoctar or Sprouting Thrinax...
