Journey into Nyxs (2014) ramp card seems playable now, but in those days there were still one mana elves, and in that environment spending your first turn casting this wouldnt really work out
If you can force your opponent to spend their gold first on your turn, this is an 8/8 airborne blitz champion which frequently equates to a Flame Strike to the face with an expended, airborne, 8/8 body in play that can potentially draw a card next turn if attacking isnt the best play
Six trample damage, two instances of Bramblecrush and a 5/5 trample left in play is a lot of value
Attacking with Frank is a plus, but you can always cast it, sacrifice it, reanimate it for extra value, and of course, kill your enemies
