It really is as simple as: compare it to libram of hope.
Libram of hope: 9 mana 8/8 divine shield + taunt, heal 8. Frequently costs less than 9 (usually around 6-7, but as low as 3)
This guy: 7 mana 5/7 taunt, heal 6.
This is also not factoring in that you can get extra copies of libram of hope via liadrin, and there is generally just more synergies for libram of hope, both in standard and in wild.
It also just has supremely inefficient stats, sitting at less stats than a boulderfist ogre for 1 more mana.
maybe as a 6/8 or 7/7 could be playable
I guess he can't save you from the new Illidari Inquisitor now, can he?

Is this actually playable now?
No. It's still garbage
