Very interesting card. +2|+2 and Challenger for 3 mana is a great deal, but the downside is the spell speed: Focus speed is a LOT worse than Burst speed. Focus speed means you can't use this reactively at all, so this is NOT a combat trick and should not be compared to buffs like Sharpsight.
Because this cannot be used reactively, and it can get countered by a Stun, a Frostbite, Vengeance, etc, it needs to be a total blowout when it succeeds, in order to see play. How do you get a blowout with this buff? You cast it on a unit with Scout. Ideal case scenario would be a unit like Greenfang Warden, this card would buff it to a 4|4 with Challenger and Barrier, so you can challenge two units on your attack token turn. Cast it on any other Scout unit, and you turn them into Genevieve Elmheart for the turn.
Being able to summon an Honored Lord at Focus speed is a nice bonus, but Honored Lord is not a top tier unit at 2 mana and being able to summon him at Focus speed is not worth the mana cost increase.
Overall, this may see play in Scouts, but I don't think any other archetype wants it. 2/5
