It may seen stupid because as 99% of people can tell, its a red card just from the background color, but unless they specifically write down on the card that it is a red creature, it would actually be considered colorless. Anything with a cost of 0 is colorless by default.

This + Pygmy Giant = 24 million damage to a creature.

I like how they printed three copies of the same vanilla creature, in one set...

I've seen a dude who made an insane Legacy deck with this and other 0 drop creatures. Glimpse of Nature + Elvish Spirit Guide = Draw out entire deck by playing 0 drops. Tap a Gaea's Cradle to make like 20 G and play a Beastmaster Ascension and somehow give them haste to swing for like 100 turn 1. It was crazy, moderately consistent, and will make me never doubt 0 drops again.

I believe Kobolds should all have 4/5 for their unique characteristic: they are the only 0-mana COLORED creatures. This is why they've been abused by the "Kobold Storm" deck for infinite spell casting with Cloudstone Curio. With the Curio, run the 12 0-cmc red Kobolds for:
- Infinite life with Dragon's Claw;
- Infnite damage with Tendrils of Agony;
- Instant deck mill with Brain Freeze...
'Can always be fun and original for casual to build a Kobold Tribal with the Kobold Lords, some Door of Destiny and Coat of Arms...

Interestingly, the Kobolds are not a red card while in your hand, your library, your graveyard, etc. It's a colorless creature card in all of those zones.

So, weirdly, you can't pitch a Kobold to Chrome Mox to make a Mox Ruby.

@Salient

That might have been true before, but all kobolds have been errata'd to have color indicators instead of "This spell is red when cast." Color indicators apply in all zones, so this card is red at all times.

The kobolds are the only 0 mana colored creatures and go very well with Cloudstone Curio. Crookshank here also comboes with Pygmy Giant in silver-bordered, but you already knew that.
Given the current state of creature power, 0 for a Green 1/1 creature sounds reasonable... fingers crossed.
