Essential in a Devil tribal deck, considering that there are only 6 of them.

3/2s are better for some of the most aggressive strategies, but 2/3s are more likely to survive a sustained assault.
Being able to guarantee a trade is always nice, but having a guy that can take a beating and still swing in the next turn can be it's own advantage.
There are many levels of play in which a 3/2 is almost always better than a 2/3, but that's not the level that most people play at.
As far as flavor is concerned:
These guys hit as hard as GRIZZLY BEARS, and are even harder to kill.
Given the relatively domestic scale of many of Innistrad's humans, a 2/3 angry hellspawn is pretty appropriately described as a "whirlwind."

Not relevant in Standard?
Beats Solemn Simulacrum
Beats Viridian Emissary
Beats Geist of Saint Traft
Beats Grand Abolisher
Beats Phantasmal Bear
Beats Lord of the Unreal
Beats Snapcaster Mage
Beats Etched Champion(non-metalcraft)
Trades with Mirran Crusader
Trades with Merciless Predator
Beats Glint Hawk(when blocked)
Beats Chandra's Phoenix(when blocked)

For your convenience, I've only listed the ones that would kill a 3/2 in the same situation.

I'll give it a 3.5 for art. Plus I'll be putting it in a few demonic oriented decks, just for the flavor of having a little group of devil minions bickering and jeering around me.

Filled in a nice spot on my curve in sealed. Actually, given the number of 2/2 creatures in the format, the 2/3 seemed better than a 3/2 in my experience. Flexible mana cost is nice too.

Why not 3/2? Why would Red have a creature with higher toughness then power, especially when it's a bunch of Devils running around punching people and breaking things?

Let loose on the world, they satisfy their mad craving for destruction in a whirlwind of 2 damage.

Thank you wizards for reintroducing DEVILS as a creature type, and making them absolutely horrible.
My regards.

2/3 doesn't seem very riotous or devilish. Hurloon Minotaur aside, those are Bant stats. Like, Regal Unicorn.
That flavor text on this card is just ludicrous.
