Crossbow Infantry can't take care of that 1/1 Wizard who counters all your spells, or sink the last javelin into you opponent with 1 life.
This guy is an awesome way to take care of problems with 1 toughness, that leaves you with a standard 1/1 Soldier when it's done.

You can shoot only 1 time. sad if there are other counter, it would be nice.

Crossbow Infantry is not better. Crossbow infantry does not come out first turn and cannot kill the plethora of one-drop utility creatures that don't attack (birds, elves, hierarch, etc etc), thereby ruining their early game strategy.
It's a shame these Javelineers never got decent artwork. Who taught Corky here how to throw a spear? Seriously, what's up with that pose?
A mono-white must have against most of the tribal deck (goblins, elves, ...).
He : * is T1 * kill any */1 creature (unlike all other white blast who cares only of attacker/blocker) * block and kill a */2 creature (Tap it after blocker declaration). * is a soldier, a quite common tribe.
I also play this in my exile deck with cards similar to Nouth's. Also, playing proliferate with such old cards makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

This is an almost ideal combination of flavor, mechanics, and balance. 5/5

It just works as a one drop. Bonus points for an exile deck or used with that new fangled term which exiles a creature when another is summoned.

Name another White ping-er. That's how awesome he is. 4/5

While many people think that Fallen Empires is the worst set ever, I think it's only the third-worst set, above The Dark and Homelands. The good thing about Fallen Empires is that, unlike the two previously mentioned sets, most of its good (or at least decent) cards are commons, such as this one. I once bought two packs of Fallen Empires, and more than half the cards I got were playable in casual, although almost none were playable in serious formats.

He deserves at least 4 for a white guy.
I play 4 of it in my exile deck. he's fast, slow down my ennemy and i can refuel it with the many leave/enter battlefield spells like momentary blink, stonecloaker, riftwing cloudskate, Galepowder Mage, Flickerwisp
