What's the deal with Blast from the Past?!

We all now that unhinged and unglued cards are pretty funny and at times, inpractical, but what about Blast from the Past? With all other abilities aside, a three drop that deals 2 damage kinda sucks, and all of it's other abilities cost too much for it to be really good, but still can be a decent card if used right. So this begs the question, why was this not printed in an actually set?!

It's a joke card that uses all old abilities, hence the name "from the past". This could actually work as a card, but it would be near impossible to make a set with all those abilities in it.

I can't even see this being played in Limited if it came out in any legal set. It's actually just horrible.

And then after you cycle it you can pay 
to cast it for Madness, making it almost a red Electrolyze.

Yeah, Cycling + Madness makes it great. Plus Flashback and you have a card that's not really that bad. The kicker and buyback are pretty much irrelevant due to how much they cost
