"Anyone care to explain why this isn't the top-rated card in Innistrad?"
Because noobs are aloud to rate any number of stars they want and be counted toward the average.
It's hard to convince a new player or non-competitive player for that matter, the significant of card advantage. Then they ask me why I am using Remand, not Cancel and I try to explain. They don't believe me, but wonder still why they don't win.

@Grimjaw: I don't think people are 1-starring this card in an attempt to lower its secondary market price so that they can buy a set cheaply after tricking retailers into thinking nobody likes it. That would be silly of them. Rather, I think the low ratings come from the belief that this card is so powerful that it's not fun.
Not being a tournament player, I've never seen Snapcaster in use, so I'm abstaining from rating him. However, I agree with the general sentiment. Magic will be the most fun the more viable ways there are to win, and so when one card shows up in the majority of all winning decks, people get tired of seeing it.
Community ratings aren't about whether a card is good, they're about whether you personally like the card. Normally those two go hand in hand, but in cases like this, people have every right to give 1 star to a card they wish didn't exist, no matter how powerful it is. In any case, if you like Snapcaster Mage, you already know how good it is and aren'... (see all)

Best response to this card? Shaman's Trance.
If Wizards ever reprints that card, which I think is pretty likely, than Snapcaster's price will probably go down a bit.
