Samite Healer
Creature — Human Cleric
: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to any target (creature, player or planeswalker) this turn.

As a guy who abused the heck out of Samite Healer through Master Healer in ages past, yes, it does slow the game down.

An additional note: for the situations where it would matter, you actually get to choose whether you take 1 damage or zero damage.
If multiple replacement/prevention effects (Gratuitous Violence is a replacement effect) would modify how an event would affect a player or object, then the affected player or controller of the affected object (or owner, if it has no controller) decides which one to apply. If there are any unused replacement/prevention effects that could still apply to the modified event, that player chooses another one to apply, and so on until there aren't any left to deal with.
If you choose to apply Gratuitous Violence's effect first, the damage doubles to 2 and then Samite Healer prevents 1 of it, leaving you to take 1 damage. If you apply Healer's effect first, then the 1 damage gets prevented and there's nothing left for Violence to apply to.

As a minor point, let's replace Squee's Toy with Samite Healer, since the Toy only prevents damage to creatures.
Samite Healer would prevent the initial 1 damage. There's now no damage for Gratuitous Violence to double, so you wouldn't take any damage from Fireslinger.
