They haven't printed it yet because 1-drop acceleration has to come in creature form. Otherwise, if ramp becomes good, it's harder for the metagame to push back.
Good question. It might be okay in terms of power level, but I still think we won't see a card like this. Development really likes automatic metagame answers, and the 1-drop slot is a bad place to take risks. (I guess it's not the very worst place; 0-drops and lands are even more dangerous!)

DeleteIs 1-drop acceleration still too good when it only works ~1/3 of the time?
