This guy is still in pretty much every goblin deck i make. With Fervor or some other hasty effect for him to attack on the same turn he's dropped he becomes an instant steamroll.

"1/1 is ridiculous for the cost. But Ice Age was notoriously excessively cautious about the price/power ratio. Now I bet this guy would be 3/3 for exactly the same price."
Yeah, because he clearly isn't bonkers already? With Marton, the fact that he's only 1/1 almost serves as a kind of defense when attacking, because your opponent will often times tend to block your horde of fatties rather than a 1/1 creature. Of course, any burn spell kills him, but then again, I wouldn't think twice about running him in almost any aggro deck if he could survive burn and blockers. As it is I don't see why you'd need to make this card any stronger.

I hear people on Gatherer all the time say 'such and such would be a 6/6 for 6 and have trample nowadays' or 'so and so would have cost 7 mana back in the days and had a cumulative upkeep'.
well, ok, no not those specific remarks, but the sentiment we all know is there.
This guy though, he actually would be different stats for same mana, because he encourages attacking and blocking, but he dies whenever he does it. Wizards would be aware of his ability being fantastic these days, but Development is about 'making the game Fun' and Design is about 'making the cards do what you expect them to.' (if you believe what they say about themselves), and the way I read his ability, reads to me like a Dragon or a Titan.
He wants to attack. Give him Attacking numbers. Maybe, also, he'd become a 6 mana creature. for like a 4/5. Also, this ability in general feels more White than Red.
basically, it pretty much is Battlecry-- look at the Battlecry cards they actually made and compare them to M... (see all)
