Rarity reflects the uniqueness of the card's effect in Hearthstone, not its power level. If that were the case, a deck of 30 legendaries would be the strongest deck, which of course isn't at all. Instead, cards of all rarities are supposed to have the same 'power' (not taking power creep into consideration).

The point is that though the years, the rarities have a certain "feel" to them, which is not the same as power level. In general, more complex cards have higher rarity. To illustrate my point: Obsidian Statue feels right as an epic to me, but with that in mind, Scrapyard Colossus and Walking Fountain feel off as rare and common respectively. Also, cards like Eydis Darkbane and Fjola Lightbane have no business being legendaries imo, while slapping the orange dot on unique, bad cards is fine.

Kinda surprised an effect like this isn't tied to an Epic rarity card, it has that sense of power to it. But I guess the two we are getting fit as Epics more so hey

Because Wild mage didn't have enough good decks. 

In Wild this can be a full board of 8/8s

True, but hey there is some good synergy in Standard with this card

Amazing Artwork. In Gold maybe the most handsome card ever.

But ironically, the elementals they spawn, my first thougtht was, they have THE WORST card art.
