Not a bad card, since you only need another multicoloured permiant.

I would have to agree that this is among the worst of the blades. The flying and deathtouch one remain useful for the entire game in many situations, and even the first strike one can hold off low toughness high power creatures like a champ. This one though is really only great on turn 2, and if you're using anything but boulerposts as your multi-lands (like the 3-color shards ones), he's gonna just be a 2/1 for 2 at that point, and after turn 2 just a 3/2 body with nothing special about it.

Terrible compared to other blades.

I would say that haste is the least effective of the blades abilities if only because haste is only useful once and after its used its just an obsolete keyword, as in if you don't attack on the turn it comes into play it's the same as it not having haste. On the other hand, there's a really really obvious strategy here.. and that's bloodbraid elf. Bloodbraid elf is also a 3/2 haste that can cascade into anything 3 mana and under, enabling a cascade directly into your jund hackblade for two 3/2 hasters for 4 mana. If you have the mana to attach a runes of the deus, or fists of the demi god, your hackblade can also become a 5/4 first strike wither haste creature. Dropping that much power on the field for 6 mana is pretty epic.
If you compare to watchwolf however, as long as you have something else thats multicolored you have a 2 mana 3/2 haster, where as watch wolf is equivalently 3/3 with no abilities, so it's at least on par.

The Bant Sureblade learned the same lesson these knights are learning now.

Why does the flavor text makes me think this goblin is basically Alara's Leroy Jenkins?

Turn 1:
Forest. Tap it for green mana. Use it to cast:
Tinder Wall. Sac immediately for 2 red mana. Use that to cast:
Burning-Tree Emissary. Use her free mana to cast:
Jund Hackblade.
Congratulations! You now have a 3/2 creature that you can attack with on the very first turn.
