Solid card and wouldn't fault anyone for testing it.
My first impression is that it's a green agro card (do you support green agro?) that has some bonus value in being part of a flash archetype.
Without activating it's ability it's certainly not good enough, and it may be a bit more mana hungry than an agressive card wants to be.
Creatures with mana sinks are generally good top decks, but this guy isn't because he needs another creature to trigger his ability to grow. That being said, if you do draw an elf after him, he can quickly become a 6/6 or whatever. Mana sinks like Figure of Destiny/Hexdrinker/Student of warfare allow you to put mana into them when it's convenient for your curve. Wildborn preserver has strict timing windows to do so, which reduces it's value. It also forces you to extend into your battlefield.
Thumbs down for my cube, but some chance I'm wrong.
