Oh, Willow Faerie. When I was first getting into the game, I combined these gals with Giant Growth to block my friend's Serra Angels. The angel would die; the faerie would survive. What a great little combo. For a time, I called Willow Faerie: "Serra Angel killers."
Yeah, we shouldn't underestimate the value and effectiveness of small, cheap, and cost-efficient flyers in the color of green; which is master at creature-boost. ;)
I gotta go with 3/5. A creature like this holds a special place for green, which doesn't have a whole lot in the realm of flyers. Also, in terms of combat stats and ability, it's darned cost-efficient (yes, the blue knock-off Storm Crow is as cost-efficient - though, due to its color and due to its place in its color, the Crow deserves more like a 2 or a 2.5). Furthermore, as I stated above, Green is great at efficient and effective creature boost, augmenting the efficiency of small creatures that are efficient in their own rights. Any time you can destroy a ... (see all)

@stygimoloch - I completely agree.
I really like the simplicity of this card.

It's not like green has a shortage of good two-drops but this along with Scryb Sprites are about the best the colour could ever really expect from flying weenies and I certainly couldn't see either of them getting printed today.

I'm missing DaaNz's handsome Storm Crow comment here.

wrong card art; the real art depicts a half-naked, very gay looking fairies holding an acorn right behind his butt. It is easily the gayest looking magic card, and it's shameful of wizards to hide the art on gatherer. Google it guys, its a funny picture.
I brought in 10 gay willow faeries to work and spread them around for hilarity's sake

Quite good, considering it's flying in green, if you need that sort of thing.
The problem with green creatures that are "quite good" is that there are plenty of common green creatures that are better. These are far from bad but not quite as good as other green 2-drops like Seeker of Skybreak, Elvish Archers, Elvish Warrior. And Scryb Sprites, the other cheap green flier, is usually forsaken in favor of Llanowar Elves, Birds of Paradise, etc.
So decent, and actually pretty good, just not good enough. 3.5/5

Hmmm, so Storm Crow and Chimney Imp are actually part of a cycle. Just look up 1/2 flyers, you'll know which ones are overpowered when you see them.
