FireLance's suggestion is great, it has a very different feel and it's a feel I like.
But Magic Missile as printed isn't bad. It has a higher base and potential damage, MUCH better range and is a Ranged Basic attack. It doesn't sound like much but I think that Ranged Basic is what makes it, considering that the Warlord has four class powers through Paragon tier that allow a character in range to make a Basic attack, two of them targeting "allies in range." The Wizard with Storm of Swords and Ray of Frost, if he's lucky, can swing his staff if there's anyone close enough and that's about it. The Wizard with Magic Missile is throwing an extra 2d4+Int into the mix targeting probably anyone he wants.
FireLance's idea is cool, but at the moment I'm gonna say, "If it ain't broke..."
