Upvoted as soon as I see your conclusion.

This is a pretty useless card IMO - High mana for what you get

Not important at all! I won in spite of the Knifer doing almost nothing except soaking up the first round of attacks, and I'd usually expect a tank to last longer than that!

You saved me $25, thank you!

This card I think is very situational, may be useful if the battle rules are:

• Even Mana only and/or Melee only and/or Earth Splinter only and/or No Neutral (limits your choice of cards, LOL)
• Something that allows melee to attack from anywhere
• And Gold League or above where you can take advantage of Backfire (with a speed of 6)

Yes you are right, it will probably not be chosen 99.9% of the time.
