^^^This.
The card is just mindnumbingly powerful.
It's all about {Chimney Imp}.
Copied from some site:

Storm Crow jokes first emerged with Alliances, because you could pitch Storm Crow to Force of Will. The joke began as a reaction to the over-the-top blue hype of the day -- between Force and Diminishing Returns, many people said that Alliances had given Blue all the best cards. There was some serious-sounding hyperventilative discussion of whether it would ever be sane to play any other color. "Alliances broke blue" is the sort of thing people would say, as well as "Force of Will makes any random blue card better than every other card in the game." Stuff like that.
In response to that, people would jokingly assert that Storm Crow must be the most broken card ever, because it was blue and printed in Alliances. This made all the more sense because of the flavor text (you can read "the worst" as "the worst card ever" literally or as "the most devastating card ever" playfully).
Most players who make Storm Crow jokes nowadays aren't aware of the history of this tradition, but hey, it's great fun to see people get so much amusement out of such a mediocre card. And I like the jokes about the new reprint flavor text better anyhow. Storm Crow returning, we'd best get to burning! :)
