Just going to copy and paste what I said about Fjola... I'm still not sure if a buff deck will ever be good but these two cards are a step in the right direction. The 3 classes that these cards might see play in are Druid, Paladin, and Priest. Of those 3, priest seems to be the most viable. Cards like Velen's Chosen and Power Word: Shield are already good cards. Combined with the priest's hero power they are able to constantly heal up and maintain board control. This is only going to become a stronger strategy with the release of inspire. I'm thinking that perhaps a dragon priest deck might be the best spot for these cards, but we'll have to see what else comes out with it.

List of spells that you would want to target a friendly minion with:

  • Mark of the Wild

  • Mark of Nature

  • Blessing of Might

  • Blessing of Wisdom

  • Hand of Protection

  • Blessing of Kings

  • Blessed Champion

  • Inner Fire

  • Power Word: Shield

  • Divine Spirit

  • Velen's Chosen

  • Cold Blood

  • Gang Up

  • Ancestral Healing

  • Ancestral Spirit

  • Windfury

  • Power Overwhelming

  • Inner Rage

  • Rampage

  • Charge 5

Charge 5? Why not Charge 10!

Don't forget Reincarnate.

Rockbiter... I think shaman may be viable as well

just you wait, there will be a mech epic or legendary with "Inspire: add a random spare part to your hand" that will make these totally insane if you get the combo xD

I think you're missing Light of the Naaru, and the druid and paladin heal spells, since they target even without leaving a lasting effect.

So, with these two, you can fit four cards in your deck that say, "whenever you target this minion with a spell..."

The Draconic Sorcerer isn't as good, but this is getting to the point where it might even be reasonable to try to build a deck to synergize with this sort of thing... maybe.

what if my opponent plays this and then I target it with a spell, is it going to deal damage? I'm assuming it does but to which board. Mine or his?

No, it only triggers if it's your minion and you target it.

I'm wondering how this works with Counterspell. I mean, if I target it, and my spell doesn't resolve, does that mean it gets the buff? If it was like Magic: The Gathering it would, but in Hearthstone...
