Why is this not a beast when it is clearly a monkey?
You ookin' dooker! Hozen are humanoids, not beasts.
Sadly, being a humanoid doesn't make this card incredible. But I do think it's playable in, most likely, Priest decks. Could also be useful in Arena, though situational/synergistic cards are usually a gamble and this card's stats aren't very well-balanced (i.e., 3/5 would be more useful) for that. Besides that, I can see it possibly being used by Druids to heal a big minion they ramped out early.
It's interesting to see neutral minions intended for healing minions expanded on (beyond the AoE Darkscale Healer) but seems weak compared to existing options. Earthen Ring Farseer is generally about as much healing as any minion needs, can heal your hero, is still a respectable body, and is cheaper. In decks that run bigger minions, there's very often another source of healing in Moonglade Portal, Forbidden Healing/Lay on Hands, or Circle of Healing/Lesser Heal/Heal. The value is phenomenal on a heavily damaged dragon or giant, but how often do you see those? I almost feel like this is here more for arena, where it increases the value of your expensive picks and is otherwise a defensive stat-line.
i would be willing to bet this has no synergy with auchenai or embrace as it doesnt heal for any amount, it just restores to full health. Same thing with reno and auchenai as using him with the souldpriest down does not kill you.

Go try it. And then spout some more nonsense. Reno does kill you with soul priest
Restore a minion to full health (Ancestral Healing) works like this: if said minion has 7 max HP -> restore 7 HP to it, so if you play any card that restores a minion to full health while having Auchenai Soulpriest or Embrace the Shadow in play that means it will deal 7 damage to it.
this card heals to full health the minion if minion is 7/7 remainin healt is 5 it will deal only 2 damage
Yeah, I don't know where you're getting your information from but you're obviously not testing these claims. We already know that restore to full health effects insta-kill with Auchenai Soulpriest. Please, if you don't know what you're talking about, refrain from posting. If you're just speculating, try and make that clear in your post. Spreading misinformation is really bad/harmful for newer players or people unfamiliar with all the mechanics of the game. Let's try to remain helpful instead of just spouting conjecture on how we believe things should work without first checking the facts.
Quite funny to use as an instakill with Auchenai Soulpriest, though it is vulnerable to Cabal Shadow Priest (of course, I'm not just going to judge the viability of a 2 attack minion just based on Cabal). Could also be useful in Taunt Warrior to make one of your big walls even harder to break.
2/6 statline is bad. Gimmicky combo with priest cards but it doesnt seem to be worth the effort...look at priests 4 drops what wouldnt you play over this? bad card.

LEEEEROOOYY JEEENNKIIINSSSS!!!!!!
good card, not sure if it work with alchenai the way people are thinking here.
need take time to make new pic and signature using the new cards.
Priest 4 mana slot don't have room for this, too many good minions...
Turn 3 Fel Orc Soulfiend which should not die, then turn 4 trade and Hozen Healer. Could be viable in priest.

Filler with bad stats distribution. No way you will play any 2-attack minion in Priest meta.

This is good for some of the bigger minions, or minions that have been buffed, but it really feels situational so... not fantastic.
If you play Reno Jackson with Auchenai Soulpriest on your side of the board, you will die.
Achieved Gold Priest- April 2017
Might be good in some divine spirit deck

I'd play this in Shadow Priest over Priest of the Feast or Shifting Shade. Better than Spawn of Shadows by a mile.
It's probably got a spot in Reno Priest, too.
