So here's my story: Nexus was the first legendary I crafted because he looked like such a fun card. However, since I mained Midrange Decks at the time, I quickly became dissapointed. No jokes, Millhouse Manastorm (my first opened Legendary) brought me more success then Nexus. However, since the rotation, I put him in my Control Paladin for the lols and he won me more games than I can count, not just through insane RNG but also the value he gives if he survives. Anyone else having success with this forgotten hero?
Nah, it's way too slow and was a bit too random. Sometimes it would work out and do great things, but it was rare.
Exactly this. Inspire as a mechanic wasn't very... inspiring. Compare him to Lyra in priest. Yep, you just can't. Lyra is insane if it survives, but Saraad, you get one random spell (albeit from any class, but then again from any class - Demonfuse or perhaps Deadly Poison/Oil when you are playing a non-weapon class). I got him from a pack and used him maybe two or three times to mediocrity. Didn't regret dusting him, or any other wild card for that matter.
He felt like he wanted to be what Lyra is. I crafted him very early in TGT and often ran him as a midrange must-answer in my control decks but pre-Raza and the like the 2 mana cost of hero power alone was debilitating to really get huge turns with him. Basically I'd run him out into empty boards versus decks that had a hard time dealing with a 4/5 on turn 5, like versus druid for example, or often end up having him function as a pseudo-turn 7 yeti babbling book hybrid.
After they released Raza and Beardo I actually crafted both of them and proceeded to have some very fun games of just going absolutely nuts, but now Lyra has usurped even that engine as Lyra, albeit Priest only spells, does what Saraad engines want to do but so much easier.

Underrated? No. But absolutely my favorite legendary in the game. So much value. I just wish it could find a good home.
Have him in my Wild Inspire Priest deck and it's pretty fun but he is pretty inconsistent. The 0 Mana hero power makes him great though.
Good Luck!
