There is one difference here and ALL Reborn minions. They don't count as Deathrattle minions and they dont have any synergy with Deathrattle cards.
So this is a Belcher like card but 1 mana cheaper. It can also be healed up afterwards.
I am thinking that the new Druid heal spell that heals all characters for 5 might make Druid the actual Reborn class. You trade your Reborn minions in, then Heal them back up to full or mostly full health.
This card does seem really strong though. Priest can use this card for sure.
Slightly weaker Belcher but the most important thing is it is 1 mana cheaper. The reason Tarcreaper was so popular despite it is a weaker Senji because, yeah it is 1 mana cheaper. It really nice for control deck to stall their face for 2 attack it turn 4, because for a deck like CW, control priest or control shaman they can after that play a good board clear in turn 5 aka Brawl, Mass Hysteria and Hagatha Scheme...
1 mana less for 1 less stat than Sludge Belcher? Quite nice! The only downside is that a 1/2 taunt is much much better than a 2/1 taunt. So I think it will be worse than Sludge Belcher. But still pretty good
People keep mentioning blecher, and I think the better comparison is Chain Gang. Yeh - blecher's better, and it should be because it costs 1 more mana.

Yeah there's a lot of room to be less good then sludge bencher and still be on the playable side
A playable stall cards for most decks and not a bad target to heal with Activate the Obelisk once it is Reborn, will see occasional play here and there.

and 1 mana less compensate that.

IMO it will see play in decks that can heal up the reborned body, but if you cant abuse that, its not good enough.
Maybe in quest paladin if it doesnt have better options.
Where is our BOONNNNNEEESTOOOORRRMMMM legendary card blizz???

It's better than Sludge Belcher. Formula to calculate Mana spend on minion stats is (Attack+Health-1)/2.
So Sludge Belcher is: (3+5-1)/2=3.5 and (1+2-1)/2=1, which combined makes 4.5 Mana. That means you spend 0.5 Mana for 2x Taunt.
Bone Wraith is: (2+5-1)/2=3 and (2+1-1)/2=1, which combined makes 4 Mana. That means you spend 0 Mana for 2x Taunt.
Sludge Belcher has become rather weak in Wild by the way. I think you only play it if you go for N'zoth.
