As it stands, dealing a creature 1 damage is pointless. Should I change the ability to simply "target creature can't block this turn"?
This sounds like a fine tweak on Mugging, except that the timing will confuse people (they'll try to play this after the creature has blocked, which won't work).
It's not pointless - it lets you shoot annoying utility 1/1 creatures; which is sometimes really useful.
But yeah; it really wants to be able to say "That blocking creature? It can't. Choose again." No idea how to word that though.
If that's the effect you want, it could be "choose one -- deal 1 damage to target creature, or target creature can't block this turn". That's almost the same under the rules, but maybe people are more likely to remember that "can't block this turn" has to be before blockers if it's a separate ability.
