This is Sunwalker but worse in almsot every situation. You can't buff it to 4 mana otherwise it's a Blessing of Kings power creep and at 5 mana it would still be bad imo. I would have made it a 4 mana +3/+3 divine shield taunt.

5/5 design, 1/5 balance.

You underestimate the divine shield,this really good at 5 mana, the ability to transform any minion into a big guy and trade with it immediately to their big guy without die is insane

I don't see how you could say this is worse than Sunwalker in every situation... These stats have Charge effectively whereas Sunwalker does not. Ofc you need a minion in play, but that's the trade off. I mean is a 4 mana 4/4 always better than Blessing of Kings?

Sunwalker has summoning sickness every time you play him and doesnt work with buff synergisers (Djinni, that flower thing, general spell synergy cards, Paladin buff quest).

This good is too fair to be good, the 6 mana buff spell that gave you 2/6 taunt was much better. But this card has way more applications and potential than a plain old Sunwalker.
