In my opinion the cons outweigh the pros.

Acolyte doesn’t completely blank Skred, it occasionally blanks Skred when we can afford to keep up mana and make the assumption that they’re holding it. That line also assumes we have a creature better than Acolyte on the table that we want to protect, so why not just play creatures better than Acolyte altogether?

The creature matchups need to be fought on the board, and a 1/1 for two mana is a terrible rate that doesn’t fight a single creature in their deck.

It completely blanks the Skreds, and foils Tribal Flames some of the time. The protection extends to other creatures too. And, it’s a weenie like the rest.
