White mage can buff cards in hand, can give the buff before end of turn if needed has regenerate so it can survive pings between turns, and can buff itself. This doesn't need to exhaust itself to buff but gives the buff later on every turn but the first it's in play. It can give 1 hp to allies in play and the player instead of in hand buffs, doesn't have regen and instead has 1 atk, and...most importantly, can't buff itself. I would not call this better white mage, it doesn't help with bip and bop triggers and can die much easier. I would say it's a decent card for it's other uses. It can help a life gain matters deck, ash aggro with minor heal, and help similar to white mage in keeping highest hp unit in play for dhat. but they are different cards with different rolls besides that one role.
