This
card can do the two things blue control needs -
stop a threat and give you time. Things that
can do that all for 3 mana and one card is an MVP
in my book.
In limited it's a
counterspell. Three life is not usually
gamebreaking, though it's nothing to spit on
either

First, take your
basic Counterspell. Next add Healing Salve. Put
them together, and what do you get? A card that
fits right into a U/W control deck. The ability
to gain 3 life has kept me alive quite a few
times. And it frequently will for you, too, as
most agressive decks are geared to do 20 damage
in the time it would take you to take control,
not 23-26 damage.
In limited, most of
the time, I'll play one of these. It's good to
have one way to deal with something that you
couldn't otherwise deal with. But any more than
one counterspell is typically overkill in
limited.
Constructed: 4.5
Limited: 2.9
