One of the worst cards ever printed, the players even said so when they voted this card out after 4th Edition. If only this was a 2/2...

2 for a 2/1 isn't that bad, even with a slight drawback. Not that I'm saying this a good card by any means, but when you also have utter turds like the "bands with other" lands and many incredibly overcosted artifacts, it's far from the worst.

No, it's not the worst card ever printed. Its just a 2/1 for two with a silly, unimportant draw back. Plenty of decks used it way back when just to have a two drop, calm down people.

"One of the worst cards ever printed"
It's not good, but it's not that bad. It's certainly better than Squire, and even the recently-printed Mindless Null.
Any creature that can attack and / or block doesn't really qualify for the "worst card ever". You can still kill an opponent with a Squire. That title belongs for cards that have such inane and narrow abilities that they effectively do nothing at all -- Great Wall, Melting, Break Open, ect.

Actually, by the standards of the time, this wasn't that bad. Erg Raiders was better, though it had a drawback that would show up now and then (people actually played Paralyze to deal with early beaters with drawbacks), and its own drawback is nearly meaningless, which means you've got a 2/1 for 1B. Not great, but not terrible. Compare it to Scathe Zombies, which is terrible, or even Spineless Thug, which gains a point of toughness - big deal - but also a huge drawback of not being able to block.
