I think this is a "hidden cost" like jmgariepy was talking about. I also think this is spike. Timmy, in my opinion, hates things that blow up if you don't constantly manage them.
I know what you mean, but I don't feel Timmy hates ALL drawbacks. I think she's very conservative about giving up something she perceieves as hers: eg. would never want to pay life instead of mana, or would want a cheaper creature in exchange for being vulnerable to suddenly getting hosed by a rare bad luck. But Timmy is known not to worry that much about mana cost or card advantage, and I think this is similar.
I think the Timmy who says "I can attack for 2 on turn 1? COOL!" is a DIFFERENT Timmy than the Timmy who says "A 7/7 trample? COOL!" But I think it's still driven by excitement of when it goes right.
I agree the card is very Spike too, but I think Spike is more worried about "If I draw one of these, I've hosed my turn 2", etc.
For Challenge # 044.
I'm not sure good 1CMC 2/2 creatures can get. I figure if scythe tiger is common, this is plausible, and it's safely less good than goblin guide.
People may say "Timmy? Isn't this Spike?" But I think "Oh gosh, oh gosh, imagine the perfect opening draw of two of these" is very Timmy.

I agree, I'm not sure this is a very Timmy card.
