She may have become the baseline yardstick for three-drops, but I wouldn't actually play her. I never did, even from my first deck. Props for the flavour text though. And I suppose 'Gray Ogre' is a better term than Goblin Hero or Raging Bull would have been.

Why would anyone play her when Hurloon Minotaur offers 1 more point of toughness for the same CMC...
Your forgetting the time 'she' came out at, obviously there are more attractive cards now that for the CMC will get you more Ogre than you can take home to your mother, but she was a class act of her time.
and another card for your Keldon Warlord.

Apparently at the time 2/2 for 2 creatures were considered to be so efficient that only green got to have them. For the other colors, 2/2 for 3 was apparently the norm as seen in Scathe Zombies and Pearled Unicorn. Still brings up the question of why something like Sedge Troll would have been printed in the same set though.

I like the flavour text, not an amazingly efficient card though.

The same CMC yes, but Hurloon Minotaur's casting cost is {1}{R}{R}, making it harder to use in a multicolored deck.
Of course, then there's the aforementioned Sedge Troll from the same set, which actually does render this card all but useless unless you have a thing for ogres.

...because before kids started spending all their allowance on these cards, rarity mattered.
Even back then this guy was bad. Sedge Troll was rare but come on, a strictly better version of a card, with both cards in Alpha? That should bring up some flags.

The card for which flavor text is literally 'flavor' text.
A lot of people gives this a terrible score without understanding the cards that existed at the time. 3 mana for a 2/2 was a "standard" creature. Creatures that were better were a bit of a rarity or exceptional.
