A lot of similar cards to do the same for less(and sometimes just a bit better). But I overall still like it, might never play it since I can't play Pally and try to lean away from the class
If a cheap Taunt is on the horizon for Druid, this is easily 4-star for stalling vs aggro - it's kinda meh otherwise for Constructed, will see play in other formats for sure
But unfortunately, this falls into the same pitfall that Paladin did in Rastakhan, which was that if you had nothing to heal, you'd get no benefit. Battle Rage has a similar requirement of needing damaged minions, but being damaged and having damaged minions as Warrior is much more likely than as Priest. Additionally, Priest needs a way to heal the damaged things, and the only reliable source is their 2 cost hero power.
The idea is nice to me, but it's easily countered by divine shields/buffs to the minions otherwise all I see it as is a delay to discourage flood decks from playing their minions for one extra turn. I might play around with it in a control DH but ehh.
I'm just worried that all the healing support Priest is getting will fail like Paladin's set from Rastakhan's Rumble. It's obviously in a class that can heal on demand with their Hero Power, but it's showing the same reliance on having your face damaged, which can backfire.
It hasn't changed for years, which means it almost certainly will never change. It would require such a massive overhaul because it's changing one of the core fundamentals of the game.
New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative
This will be fun in wild, especially as an odd-cost...

New Druid Spell - Mark of the Spikeshell
Greybough. Oh yes.
New Druid Spell - Mark of the Spikeshell
NOt bad at all. Great for Arena where you look for taunts and anything that could bring more minions into your hand
New Priest Minion - Lightshower Elemental
Happy as a control priest player. Very sad as a res priest hater.

New Priest Minion - Priest of An'she
7 mana 8/8 taunt is..fine? I don't know how excited I am about getting a 1 mana discounted Ironbark Protector
New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative
I always like tech cards against secret, even when I'm playing a secret deck myself.
New Druid Spell - Living Seed (Rank 1)
Embiggen has a new best friend
New Priest Minion - Priest of An'she
If enough support for turn 4-5 is there for Priest to come, then this on 6 with a cheap healing spell is gonna do wonder for control archetypes
Living Seed (Rank 3)
This has a good amount of value.
Priest of An'she
7 mana since you need to hero power. sad
Living Seed (Rank 2)
Embiggen just got a new friend
New Neutral Minion - Peon
It's ok i guess
Living Seed (Rank 1)
Something to replace in ramp Druid...
New Priest Minion - Priest of An'she
Seems good

Out with 4 mana 7/7s, in with the 5 mana 8/8s!

Desperate Prayer costs 0...
New Priest Minion - Lightshower Elemental
A solid card but I think against mage it would be slightly less useful and easily gotten rid off.

What did Lucentbark ever do to you?

Hearthstone to Offer Purchasable Pre-Constructed Decks in the Future
I predict a price point of about $20 - $25 per non-Core legendary in a given deck.
Anything lower would cut into sales of their predatory loot boxes randomized packs.
(Obviously, they are going to try to use as many Core legendaries as possible to give the illusion of value.)
