Drawing a card doesn't make a card nice if it's so bad. Just don't put this card into your deck and you will draw the next card instead of this!

It's essentially a combat trick that replaces itself. It can definitely be useful.
More than that though, I love this card because it represents the kind of Magic cards we used to see, which would have real emotional content and a sense of pathos, even with relatively trivial cards like this one. This card has a personality, it has it's own "feel".
Nowadays, there are usually two types of cards: cards that try to be really "cool" or "awesome", and cards which are almost nakedly attempting to perform some function in the tournament metagame. I miss cards like this one. It wasn't developed because it had a badass effect or because white needed cantrips. It was just a nice idea and an intimate moment that they reflected in the card.
