Tommy9898, that is not quite correct. If you block a creature and use the ability to cause 1 damage, it actually doesn't deal combat damage because it left combat before the damage phase.
Meaning you can't kill a 2/2 by blocking and poking it. Either way though, this is a good card

Surprised this isn't rated higher. He's super versatile, get four of these guys out and you can zap 4 toughness creatures with little to no fear or retribution. That or needle your opponent to death. Also great for getting rid of annoying low toughness creatures with special abilities like Royal Assassin.

If the low damage of this bothers you, see also: Spikeshot Goblin
Starts off doing the same thing for one more red mana every time, but enchanted or equipped with something powerful he doesn't melt faces, he shreds them to pieces. A friend runs these goblins in a mono-red with Claws of Valakut, they can become frightening.
Just my 2 cents.

Gotta love timeshifted cards breaking out and existing on their own.
