Yeah, it's an amazing card and is showing up in builds everywhere. IMO it might be too cheap, both for being a level 1 and for it only costing 5 mana. Of course it's quite fragile at 5/2 so it's not too hard to destroy and maybe that balances it out, but if it starts showing up in every build then that would be a sign that it's probably too good for its cost.
I think the game would need to go for 15 rounds for BimShalla to be "too cheap." End the game in 6 rounds and BimShalla is too expensive.
5 rounds of BimShalla (not counting first round) = 5heals,5armor,or(at max)+10damage(5 dice @ 2 max dmg)
5 rounds of Bear Str (not counting first round) = (at max)+20damage(10 dice @ 2 max dmg)

Bear Str has a safe spot in my top five. Bim Shalla a runner up. Maybe the 6th Rank.
I have nothing against Bear Strenght, I think its great... But 15 rounds later, you will not have your Bear Strenght, but odds are pretty good that your Bin Shalae will still be there. It has much more staying power then an enchantment.
