Everything about the usefulness has already been said. What's more important is this-
Is that Sarkhan Vol in the artwork?

You could unearth the hellspark elemental or cast ball lightning or hell's thunder. there is quite a few options. This is a pretty good card.

The Spanish version of this card reads is missing the word "alone." So..."Jackal Familiar can't attack or block." Yeah, that's significantly worse, lol.

It's a decent card, but I have a question. If you have two of these on the field, and neither of them are tapped or affected by summoning sickness, can you attack with them or not?

It's like a worse Goblin Cohort.

sure, 5 damage turn two is good. but what is this guy going to do, lets say... turn 3? This creature is horrible.

meh. you have to consider the opponent running removal, which they should be. this guy doesn't even need removal, they kill your other creature and jackal is useless. also useless if you go into chump mode trying to topdeck burn. 3.5/5

There's some great RDW decks that use this in TypeII. Soooo I wouldn't be hatin when it's included in a deck that can whup most TypeII decks =)
He's great in {R} decks that are made to pump out creatures each turn to keep attack buddies nearby (sligh would be one).
