I personally dont believe this card will see plays in many decks (maybe in some kind of heal priest ?) as the stats are way to low and with 1 dmg you wont be able to kill many stuff on the board.
And the only synergy i see so far is with Lightwarden and the new Priest card Sacred Warrior And maybe but with a big maybe Shadowform might see some play as your able to deal dmg and heal yourself at the same time.
(But i definetly like the Idea of blizzard trying to make cards against aggro decks)
This card reads as "4 mana 1/8: do nothing immediately on a mid-game turn and trade with nothing played previously." Takes too long to get value from Hero Powers, too. Should have more attack (max. 2-3) at least, not sure it would be much better even if it did.
Bleh. 4 mana Patron Factory that can't trade with anything except for Wolfriders and Leper Gnomes.
I hope we start to see some hardcore Inspire synergy come together very soon because I am very unimpressed. I know the classic response is just wait until all the cards are revealed, but I don't see why Blizzard wouldn't release at least a few strong Inspire cards early to get people hyped for the new mechanic.
It can't have any better stats because then it would power creep over current four drops. It has the same stats as yeti but with an ability, so they gave it a unique (and weird) distribution. Maybe this sees play in a hobgoblin deck? Or some sort of buff deck? Or a zoo type deck? With 8 health it has a lot of durability, so you can plonk it down on turn four, pretty much guarantee its survival and the buff it up, throw abusive sergeants on it to trade up and what have you. Throw on Blessing of Kings.

See this is exactly why I don't like reviewing cards before the full set is released. When I see a card like this, it's obvious to me that it was meant to combo with something else that probably wasn't revealed yet. Oh how soon we forget, just a few days ago a lot of hero power cards were revealed and most people felt those cards were way too weak. Then shortly afterward, Justicar was announced which instantly made hero power cards look a lot more appetizing.
Now, I'm not saying for sure that a new card will directly synergize with Medic, but it seems silly to rate the card before knowing. Having said that, my kneejerk reaction is that I hate it specifically because it had 1dmg. I hate all expensive minions that deal 1dmg, UNLESS that minion is a card draw engine.
Inspire cards so far look weak/slow individually, but a number of them we've seen are quite sticky and with two or more on the board their effects will snowball quickly
Horrible design, cant trade with anything over a one drop as a four drop, ability almost dos nothing, what is 2 heal in one turn for six mana?
No taunt so aggro will just walk arround.
Ok of cause combos etc. but just because i can do an 5 card combo that does something usefull it doesnt make a card good and i doubt priest will get a charge spell.
I would like this to work with some sort of Master of Disguise play; but it seems like the card wouldn't be able to stick on the board when played on curve. On Turn 8, This + Master of Disguise is way too slow, you'll probably lose if that's your turn 8.
Even if you did get this off, the combo I'm thinking about is on Rogue class, which doesn't use it's hero power as much as the other classes! So that's even more anti-value with my idea...
To go even further, even IF you get the combo off AND Rogue's hero power was desirable... It's only 2 health every turn. Not something that would swing the tides of the match so much. Healbot + Shadow Step would probably be a much more efficient combo.
I don't know, but I don't think this card is THAT terrible. In some classes it could work against aggro just as well as Armorsmith. You can buff it or taunt it up or it might have a lot of synergy in Priest.
However, given that the game might and most likely will slow down and give control decks many survival tools, aggro decks might not be as successful as they are now - in that case there might be no need for this slow anti-aggro card at all.
The perfect minion for a buff deck. Yes, it has low attack, but it cant be killed in one turn by damage (Heck, might even survive two turns.
I'd see it being played with Blessing of Might, Blessing of Kings, and a whole plethora of stat increasing cards in order for it to become really durable.
And if you want, this minion + Crazed Alchemist = Trading with 8 Health minions for 6 Mana.

double divine spirit one turn win =X
1 health more than Mogu'shan Warden. For 5 mana u could have 8/8.
Stick this guy and Baron Rivendare in a room and... well I'm not sure, but whatever it is would take a while!
Such Hobgoblin synergy... much combos... wow!
This ! Miracle/combo priest INCOMING. Next cancer/ebola/aids whatever spotted.
Lets just hope this is NOT the only anti-aggro card that Blizzard has in the set.
This is probably real because it's crap. lol
That'll do, Huffer. That'll do.
lol yeah....a 3/10 would be nuts

I'd just like to note that this guy wins an uninterrupted trade with a silenced Bolvar Fordragon or Baron Rivendare :^).
