Melira does NOT make this guy obsolete. Melira is better for many things, like complete infect protection, and persisting creatures more than once per turn.
But she is worse at other things. Such as wrath of god-ing the entire battlefield. If so, melira dies, and your persist critters are no longer immortal. Whereas with heartmender, he survives as well and continues to provide immortality to other persist critters after a wrath.

You know, I was JUST commenting on Harbinger of Night that if you could keep it from self destructing it was such a beast. Pair him up with this guy and... Ouch. Of course then he effectively loses his immortality-granting Persist. But in exchange you're getting -1/-1 Counters on all your opponents while avoiding them yourself. Getting the two out at the same time is admittedly a little unlikely of course...
But I thought he was half bearpig, half man?

First off, Manbearpig is half bear, half man-pig. Let's get this straight people.
As for heartmender.... oh, Murderous Redcap and Kitchen Finks oughtta sum it up, just about. Persist is a powerful mechanic, and this is one of its generals. Just find yourself a sac engine or a wrath, or whatever.
That he has persist himself... that's what cinches this card in as a beast. And I like the artwork, not everything has to be from western canonical descent.

Man bear pig? Looks more like a Boar Snake Spider.
And hey, Wusanderz: DONT MESS WITH THE BECCA!!!

This card has excellent synergy! In any deck based around persist, this is a key player; and it's quite effective with an abundance of WoG-like cards and effects.

@Ritius, that's the Imaginationland one. Al Gore's original concept was half-pig, half-bearman.
This thing hard to kill, I'll give it that.

whats wrong with the art. It's an interesting change from normal magic art.
this guys effect seems amazing, why is he going for so low, I see it going for 20 cents.

That's really pretty trippy art for Ms Guay, quite outside her usual medieval characters
