Since APSS was released in 1996, when Pete Venters and his team had already started consolidating the various strands of continuity, I imagine it was taken out because by now it had been established what Elder Dragons actually were

Then the Vampire was printed next, same cost, this time it adds flying and +1 toughness, but it just works once per turn so it's both better then Mentor (flying, bigger size, no mana needed) and worse (just once per turn)

Fire discard early against anything without a single expensive combo card
