For me this is the best prince until now, many classes can make decks with no others 4 cost cards and rogue really can use this taunt/lifesteal for your lack of healing and good defense tools...
Paladin don't use this for sure, the new 4 drop taking abilites from minions in deck and TrueSilver and the mass removal make impossible...
What if you did include X-cost cards along with the Princes, and just played the princes after you drew them? They aren't terrible on their own, and their effects can be strong when triggered. It never says that you straight-up can't include them in your deck - they just have to not be there when you actually play the Prince.
first prince of the 2/2 that gives everything in your deck +1/+1 sounded like it had potential, second prince of the 3/3 that transforms into a 3/3 copy of a minion sounds like it could have combo potential, this one... It's basically just crippling your deck for a single ok card. 4 mana 4/4 is already kinda cutting it for playability but with taunt and lifesteal if it was just a 4 mana 4/4 taunt lifesteal it would be fine.
Here's the other thing. Let's compare this to Wickerflame Burnbristle. like Prince Valanar the stats for 3 mana isn't good. actually worse but it has the added divine shield. Why couldn't Valanar have the divine shield? Sure it isn't a class legendary but you are also making us have a deck with no other or very few 4 drops. Just something more than just a 4 mana 4/4 taunt, lifesteal may allow it to be a little more playable.
The requirements are pretty big since the 4-mana slot is pretty crucial, and if you do actually meet the requirements the card is still incredibly average. Maybe if it would get Divine Shield as well this would actually be somewhat good.
The thing with this is that even if you have no 4-drops in your deck it would still probally not be worth running since a 4 mana 4/4 Taunt Lifesteal isn't even that good, at least in constructive which is the only place where it has a chance of being picked.

So terrible, prolly one of the worst cards revealed so far.
Wow! This is really bad! Most of revealed cards today are pretty bad :(
The first playable prince? You can definitely run no other 4-cost cards in some classes.

Complete shit.
its not worth it m8
He's continuing the theme of the Princes being absolute crap.
Miracle has only Sherazin at slot 4, but it doesn't need it :P
Not worth it.
The Princes really looks bad.
Not playable. Have no idea why Blizz thought these were acceptable legendary cards.
I have to assume having all 3 somehow work together. This cant be the only way to play them.

Are we missing something? All three princes seem awful.

The most viable prince of the three, and still not a better option than buffed Wickerflame
