This common is covering the main Aqua cardset weakness - lack of attacking commons. I mean, Sea serpent is much more specific, and others aren't even near in terms of attack. Aqua uncommons and rares are expensive, there is only one Aqua summoner and not enough Aqua cards to fill all uncommon and rare slots, so you'll have to play with 7-8 Aqua commons in hand. And in this case you could break enemy resources, steal it, defend yourself or raise stock, but you couldn't attack seriously until an uncommon draw.
Giving a common like this to Aqua is like giving Brigand keyword to Angry mob.
