85% voted bad or dust it. This card will rock n roll in Rogue.

 No, I tried today, much better is use x2 Corpsetaker, divine shield you get from 1/1 spell power, taunt from Lich King and The Curator, Lifesteal from neutral beast 5 manas 4/4 and windfury from elemental 4/8, looks bad but is not, the beast have sinergy with The Curator, the elemental is strong vs priests and you have a very good chance to full your board when get the spell from Lich King.

Corpsetaker in turn 4 with all abilities is godsend for rogue, much better than prince or all legendarys rogue have, fix your heal and defense weakness.

Win vs a hunter perfect hand, with rogue it was close to impossible.

It’s so funny looking through all of the comments calling this card complete trash, and yet it has basically become a staple in Miracle Rogue. Just goes to show how horribly wrong people can be.

He's a solid minion for his cost and I've played him in a few decks that could use a little help with healing/defense (Warlock and Rogue) and I could afford not to play other 4 drops. Still, I feel like his drawback is a lot harder to build around than Prince Keleseth and his upside isn't as good when you play him on curve either. He's still better than the 3 drop Prince though. I think the thing that gets people about this card is that what you get for the severity of the drawback just isn't impressive on the surface. You'd think he'd be more than just a decent role-player in a deck, but more of the focal point for the hoop you have to jump through to play him at full power.

I don't get Valanar's popularity. The only time I've seen the health gain matter was whzen it was played against me in a miracle deck, and he had to play  2 of them( thanks to valeera the hollow)... and it was 1 month ago.

Every other time he was a worse Evil Heckler .

In Miracle Rogue you have to cut Sherazin and/or xaril. and Honestly I think sherazin is simply a better tool.
In tempo Rogue Saronite Chain Gang is better stats wise (double buffs from keleseth), and you could still play xaril. RUnning Valanar in that deck is nonsensical, the healing is never useful.

In control warlock you have to cut Twilight drakes DoA shadowflame and hellfire. 
In zoo warlock you still have to cut Argus, and again saronite chain gang is simply a better taunt as health rarely matters in a zoo deck.

In Paladin just run corpsetaker.
In Hunter just run houndmaster.
InMage you can't you need polymorph/fireball/molten reflection. (usualy at least one of these depending on the archetype)
In priest you need the 4 mana slots for shadow word horror, and as a result you're better off suing greater healing pot instead.
In Shaman you need jade lighting.
In warrior you have way better taunt options and don't need the healing.
And in druid you need swipe.

I think it's really not worth it running it, and I think running it in tempo rogue is a mistake.

Funny to look back on this and see people say "All the princes suck" as if Keleseth isn't awesome as hell and used all the time.
