This in a voodoo deck could be scary, since the voodoo doll can take several hits, which would be reflected right away, and an additional 2 damage per lion per attack
Of course, voodo doll + gravity pull + lion would be a great combo but we are talking about 3 cards there. Anyway I would suggest to increase the cost to 5 or 6 due to the heavy protection abbility. The opponent will deal first with the lion and then with the rest and if you quint the lion... well it's dangerous.

CURATOR COMMENT
-Please add a :light icon to the card's Cost section in the upgraded part of the table


...I like the protection idea as a form of soft anti-CC (like Voodoo Doll, in contrast to Quintessence), but I can also imagine how wonderful this could be in a RoL/Hope... >.>

If, lets say, a rain of fire affects 10 of your creatures then your lion deals 20 damage to your opponent? I just realized how hard it would be in almost all decks. Any time your creatures attack through a permafrost, every one frozen it's 2 more damage to the opponent. The same with procrastination. With 2 or 3 lions the thing goes really tough

Lions and tigers and wolves, oh my?  ;)

Man, I keep seeing cards that would go great with that Gift idea someone had a while back.  This triggers off stuff like Fire Shield, right?  Give your opponent a damaging shield, pack a couple Archangels and Lions, and maybe bless a couple Voodoo Dolls.  I don't remember what element Gift was, though, that could end up being a quartet.  Would creature poison trigger the damage?  If so, you could run Parasites, Voodoo Dolls, and Lions for some pretty crazy stacking.  Holy Light would be boosted to 12 damage a pop.

This is powerful, but I don't think it's too much.  Rush decks wouldn't be affected at all, any deck with healing is going to be able to plan a bit and make up for the extra damage, and as for Rain of Fire or such... multiple Vultures already do something like that, and without your opponent handing it to you.  I don't know about Procrastination, but Permafrost freezes stuff for long enough that the shield's effect is still better than letting enemy creatures run free (plus it's blocking 2 damage on top).

Great card, all kinds of interesting combos.  An example of why I say simple cards are usually better.
