I think it will be an auto include. The saving grace is that it should play quite differently from deck to deck and fit into many archetypes.
Aggro loves a resilient beater and can make use of the counter synergy or use the life gain to trigger a Pridemate or something.
Midrange might blink it to stabilize or double up on a sacrifice outlet.
It could be annoying in a control deck against the aggro matchup if you block, get it back and then blink it. You gain 8 life and have 4 bodies for aggro to get through.
Last thing, it tends to signal persist combo which I don’t know if you support or not.
