Sure, it might not be a good idea, but a pair can be sideboarded for the mirror match against Ball Lightning and friends.
Certainly not a bad card. If you are a new player, who want an ok deck without selling your house, it can be good in a weenie deck.

Ball Lightning? Elemental Appeal?
Boros Recruit scoffs at them.

Possibly my favorite one drop in the game. He's not the most powerful, but that's part of his charm. No one ever wants to waste a spell to kill him, which gives him a chance to prove himself. While there's the superior Figure of Destiny who shares the same casting cost, he's still an excellent card with a surprising number of far larger creatures that he triumphs against in a fight, especially in the early turns of the game where a toughness of 1 isn't that uncommon.
He can find his place into a lot of decks. Goblins, soldiers, any place a reliable 1/1 first striker for 1 can slip in. While Figure is the golden boy of the R/W crew, boros recruit is at least a fair bit better than duergar assailant.

This will be a great one-drop for my deck that has Knight of New Alara, Sigil Captain, and Juniper Order Ranger!

It's a goblin, Razia. You can be sure that somewhere inside his crinkly green head is a hoard of idiocy.

A good one drop Goblin, a good one drop Soldier, and a good one drop for a red/white deck. Generally just a good first turn card.

A pretty damn solid all-rounder. Certainly one of the best first-turn goblins yet printed, barring Shenanigans like Goblin Welder, Goblin Lackey or Skirk Prospector.

one of the best one drop creatures ever printed, being accessible as not only White, but Red
Golbin, plus a Soldier
1/1 with First Strike. At this day and age, it is still a great card, despite the power level of the game being lower back then.

Great 1 drop common for any Goblin Deck. First Strike for a goblin is awesome. This card also works well with the Battle Blitz structure deck based on red/white hybrid cards.
