Is it that difficult to see the potential in a 1 CMC card that can attack as a 3/3 as early as turn 3? If I had to pick one mono-card deck I would least like to play against in Gatecrash it would be this one.
T1: Elite
T2: Elite, Elite, attack for 1
T3: Elite, Elite, Elite, attack for 9
T4: Game
Does anyone see that going down differently?
Sure! We play first.
T1:Mountain
T2:Mountain, Burning-Tree Emissary  , Burning-Tree Emissary , Burning-Tree Emissary , Burning-Tree Emissary , Burning-Tree Emissary
T3:Attack for 10
T4:Attack for 12
bulletd Guidelines: 5.0: I will take this card no matter what. Creature 1 or playable 1 or hate 1. Domri Rade  4.5: Bomb and splashable. Creature 1-2, playable 1-2, removal 1. Obzedat, Ghost Council  4.0: Excellent first pick first pack, will sway me into same colors. Creatures 1-4, removal 1. Rubblehulk  3.5: Excellent first pack pick two, will confirm colors or possibly sway into second color. Ground Assault  3.0: Good in-color addition, or splashable removal/creature. Creatures 3-9, removal 1-3. Kingpin's Pet  2.5: Solid pick in-color; creatures 5-12, removal 3-5. Mugging  2.0: Creatures 10-16; removal 6-7. Act of Treason  1.5: My 23rd or 22nd card, depending on removal. Gutter Skulk  1.0: 23rd card if I don't maindeck an additional land. Mental Vapors  0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in. Shattering Blow  0.0: I will shred this card for counters. Frenzied tilling

Touche.
The important point here, I think, is that it's not beneficial to evaluate an uncommon+ (in limited) based on how well it would do in multiples, since this is not likely at all.
Unless you're into tappedout.com or something.

The point I was trying to make is that it doesn't make sense to rate a card in the 2.0 range when it is very easy to come up with a dominating deck using just that card and land. And while pulling 24 copies of the card in Limited seems unlikely,
Elite -> 2 drop battalion -> Skynight Legionnaire
Seems like it should happen all the time in Boros.
