I wish this was good but, you can do a lot with 6 mana. Like things that actually affect the board state. Just too overcosted. Should have costed like 3WhiteBlue or something like that. Though the fact that it's Angel's Mercy and Divination cost 4BlueWhiteWhite may make 5 cmc seem way pushed but, life gain just isn't that good. The effect is just too big to do all at once. Like they should have done something like

Kiss of Amesha BlueWhite

ART

Instant (uncommon)
Target player gains 3 life and draws a card.
Flashback 1WhiteBlue
When Kiss of Amesha is cast from the graveyard you gain 4 life instead of 3 life.
The art on this card is really hot -Jace Beleren


Making Sacred Nectar a cantrip would make it slightly more playable but, that on top of the fact it can flashback for a larger cost and effect would make it good. Heck, it would make it good for combos as well. It would combo with Ajani... (see all)

Definitely playable alongside Grand Arbiter Augustin IV - {2}{W}{U} for two cards and 7 life is pretty much a bargain :D

Absolutely beautiful art. Lackluster card.

I don't know, just compare it to divination. The extra color and mana just isn't worth the extra lifegain, which just doesn't matter that much.

Do I like it? yes.
Am I playing it right now, casually?
Definitely.

I do dearly wish it cost one or two less mana, however, although I like the symmetry provided by that nice, round mana cost.

I suppose this card is a much about flavor as it is about effectiveness, and even though I'm mostly a Melvin Johnny, I can appreciate that.

Even better, it gives you a bit of bargaining power in a multiplayer game as people try to gain your boon, seeing as it's targeted.

The cards flavor indicates it's for Bant, and not Esper, so why not cost it at 2GreenWhiteBlue? You know, combining Heroes' Reunion with Counsel of the Soratami/Divination. The life gain not being instant would, in a way, be it's payment for being multiple cards at once.

It's really time to rework a playable version of this card. How about 3WhiteBlue for Draw three cards, gain 4 life.

A bit expensive, but when you cast this, you're going to be needing both life and cards, so I suppose there are worse things to top-deck.
