I would rather have this than intrepid hero (if I had to just have one and not both). This is mainly due to the fact it is an instant and has more flexibility with cycling. Intrepid hero takes another turn after casting to work and, chances are, it will be removed, however, its presence may is rather threatening and may, at the very minimum, cause some slight hesitation from other players. I'd rather slap them silly when they are not expecting it though :P

P.S, It seems that Urza's Legacy was the firt set where legends get two spells named after them. This was expanded to planeswalkers also.
Actually, it's not uncommon for a creature card with high power/toughness to represent a group of creatures that typically have a low P/T. Some examples are Mass of Ghouls/Rotting Legion (zombies), Naya Sojourners/Ezuri's Brigade (elves), Scuzzback Marauders/Boggart Mob (goblins), Thraben Militia/Vindictive Mob (humans), and Jackalope Herd (bunnies).
