It isn't a bad card but it also isn't a strong card. I feel like the two sides are using too much hyperbole here.
In limited and casual it gets various jobs done. There are other cards that do all of those jobs better.

Tiny disfigure with the added possibility of holding off a big attacker, or locking down a single blocker long enough to get your damage through.
It's decent, not more, not less.

To all the people extolling the many uses of this card: it sounds like you're searching really hard to find a situation where you encounter blind luck for this card to do something worthwhile.
"Please tell me you get this now."
That's ironic.
The card doesn't place a -1/-1 counter on anything. Your arguments for the card's value are based on an incorrect understanding of what it does!

this is a multi-use spell that can be included in a deck to be use for MORE THAN ONE situation. need to bring something down to Bolt range? done. need to buy some time? also done. this allows some flexibility. it's not a great card, sure, but it's hardly "terrible"

This looks a lot more painful than the injury in Stab Wound.

Can be removal, and when its not it still does something. Passable for 1 mana.
