I pulled 7 of the freaking things. I could handle not putting them in decks, but when packs are stuffed with this crap, THEN we have a problem!

@xRockFan: The simple answer is yes, in that this can stop the damage a Lightning Bolt would deal. But it depends partly on what you mean by "blocking" it.
It doesn't counter the bolt, or stop the targeted creature or player from being targeted by it, or prevent it from having been cast. Any effects that look for any of those will react accordingly.

Because Healing Salve was over powered and game breaking.

Why didn't they just reprint Pollen Remedy? It's the same kind of effect, in a land block, with Kicker.

Wow. This set has such insane cards, yet also creatures worse than Scathe Zombies and Instants worse than Healing Salve. Very contrastive if you ask me.

Why does this card exist?! Is it that Healing Salve was SOOO broken and game changing that a more balanced version was needed?........... Maybe it will see limited play in drafts.

strictly worse than a lot of things, a lot of really crappy things. Yet strangely, i have actually found some neat uses for it in limited for some combat shinigans, though harms way is far better for that if you have them.

Zendikar seems to have very powerful cards, and extremely weak cards. This resides with the later. It's strictly worse than Healing Salve and Mending Hands, and damage prevention spells aren't even all that good to begin with.
