It's hard to imagine a deck excluding 3 drops for this one card, but it could have its uses eventually maybe in some kind of combo deck. I personally think Faceless Manipulator is a better card, but the 3 mana on Prince could be relevant eventually (again, combo).
Bottom line, I would keep him, since he's definitely not as bad a card as most of the Classic Legendaries, for example. Plus, you wouldn't want to open him again from a pack.

Wait until all cards are revealed, then ask your question again. Just wait 2 more weeks, I don't think that DE it is that crucially necessary, so be patient for a bit. Who knows, I also think, that Faceless is a much better minion when it comes to copying stuff - good at copying the stats (Leeroy combo) and providing more bodies (Prince being a single legendary card), especially when we have Emperor in wild, not to forget that priests already have Mirage Caller.
Prince 3 will only be good if we get another minion with a powerful stacking effect (well known examples as Velen, Maly). So that's why I'm kinda optimistic, we may get something similar. But if not... dunno, paying the price of having no other 3-mana cards is kinda challenging. Better wait until we get the results.
I think Druid has the most expendable 3-drops, so I use him in ramp druid. I copy Lich King, Arfas, Ysera, Cobalt, Bone Drake, or sometimes something the opponent plays.
I think it's a fun deck.
He's been used against me effectively only once, and it was a Paladin who copied the 1/1 taunt with divine shield. A 3/3 taunt with shield on turn 3 in an aggrodin was too much for me to catch up to. But you'd need both cards early for that to work, and you miss so many good Paladin cards that cost 3 mana.
Even setting aside the drawback, it's hard for me to imagine a good use for Prince 3. Most "clone" cards are good because they can copy massive stats for low mana cost. Prince 3 never gets the massive stats, he's always a 3/3. So, you need to copy something that has a good passive ability or deathrattle.. and it's hard to envision a good enough target where you want to spend 3 mana and exclude other 3-drops from your deck to get a 3/3 version of for 3 mana.
That said, yeah don't dust him. Let's see what's coming out in the new set. He might become good!
As a rule I do never dust legendaries, especially with the change to opening packs as you just might get it again, especially if you do have a good portion of the legendaries in the set. And for usage he could be amazing in a big priest if we get something to substitute Shadow Word: Death with
I personally dusted him because I wanted to craft Tirion, if you are just dusting for the sake of it though it's probably a bad idea. If you have something worthwhile in mind then I can't see him seeing much play tbh :)
He isn't good right now but he has a lot of potential if synergy cards come out. Unless you need 400 dust for a tier 1 deck right this moment I'd hold onto him. Imagine the tears of all of the people out there who disenchanted Prince Kelseth because he was rated as a shit card, and within the same expansion people realized he was great.
He is a card that could be important in combo decks. I think if you add a hemet jungle hunter in the deck then once you draw taldaram he can be activated at any time as long as the other combo pieces arent 3 mana or lower.

Prince Taldaram, is he any good? I got him in a pack and I'm not really sure what to do with him. Any suggestions, or dust
hold onto him, there's a new set full of potential coming down the tubes
Do not dust legendaries, ever
--Alfi--
Only if you like combo decks. If you're an aggro or control player, he isn't likely to fit well into anything.

Are there any current combos he fits into?
I have him in this greedy wild deck, but it's not a very good deck
Anyway, he might see play post-expansion but probably not.
Fuck cubelock
