The 3/4 flyer has potential. Also works with stuff like the Stitched Drake by ensuring you have graveyard fodder. The built in sacrifice has potential for good synergy with other cards.
I very much agree. 90% of the time I've ever cast Serendib Efreet, I've done so off an Ancient Tomb either turn 2 or turn 1 with a Chrome Mox. This guy doesn't make you take extra damage, relevant for Ancient Tomb decks, and the drawback is almost never relevant. If the Serendib Efreet // Sea Drake // Chalice of the Void deck wanted fat flying sword carriers 9-12, this guy would be a candidate.
In Type 2, dunno. That's a nice body with minimal drawback, but don't know if it "has a home" as they say these days. It's not totally unreasonable in some UG aggro-control deck, you could even cast it off a Birds turn 2 for some early pressure, albeit locking down the Birds for awhile. You'd still have two up for Mana Leak, you can attack into opposing Delvers with it... I don't think this guy can be easily dismissed.
Mostly because drawing a card is weaker than ramping a basic. Just imagine if cards that drew instead ramped. a 2G Divination that ramped twice, a XGGG Blue Sun's Zenith that ramped X, Gitaxian Probe and ramp...

Well its a worse Elvish Visionary ; but its fair enough as a 2 drop to block and draw.
But 2 mana might be too much for constructed // playable sure, but not really a all-star like the tribe elder was.
