Sure, it's just one cheaper than Mind Rot, but two cards, at random, on turn two (or earlier) is just hard to stop, and hard to answer
Ravaging Blaze targets only the creature
Lillie typically shows up in softer, lifestyle-inspired artwork, and this card showcases the longstanding fan-favorite trainer in the middle of a glowing field of flowers and warmth
Perhaps power creep has simply made this card obsolete, as a five-mana 3/3 Angel flyer with some upside is just not cutting it by todays standards
Powerful counterspells like Mana Drain or Narsets Reversal, board clears like Perplexing Test or Evacuation, card filtering like Dig Through Time or Frantic Search, raw card draw through Blue Suns Zenith or Commanders Insight these only just scratch the surface of what a Merchants Scroll can do to reinforce your hand and available options
This card can be especially nasty in Commander, where creatures run rampant and playing control strategies often dont go all that well
