Exactly the reason why I don't watch any of the card reviews before every expansion. Sadly you can't completely blend it out with all the comentors on the forums.
Every single class is playing Keleseth decks now. I was playing them before it became "cool". It's annoying because all the deck lists are pretty much the same. There's no class identity anymore. It's all just Keleseth everything and highlander priest. This meta is completely fucked
A month ago I was awesome deckbuilder with one incredible idea to make elementals viable and now I stand, the lion before the lambs and they do not fear to play Keleseth against me :(

Yeah last month my Kelemental Rouge was my favorite deck, no one knew how to play against it and it was so much fun. Now they are everywhere :( it's a sad day
Got legend first time with this guy. He was the real mvp in my discard aggrolock
First you had my attention, now you have my interest. Tell me more about this discard aggrolock, as I have been playing with this idea, but if you have it in practice nice work!
they can always nerf Keleseth easily by just printing powerful 2-mana cards that are too good to pass up on in said classes. I mean, the only reason why the ROgue deck is so powerful is because Rogue just doesn't really have any mandatory 2-drops
Not sure if serious, but I'll have to assume so :)
What I mean by swing RNG is that you have a very low chance of drawing Keleseth, and drawing him early affects your winrate enormously, more so than possibly any other card in the game. This is different from drawing for example Valeera in MIracle Rogue, because by the time you can play that card you've likely drawn through a lot of your deck, so luck is less of a factor. It's also different from a card like Frostbolt, as the difference of drawing Frostbolt early as opposed to late is not nearly as great (plus Frostbolt isn't a 1-of). Lastly it doesn't create any meaningful choice, since if you have Keleseth you will snap-play it 99% of the time without a second thought.
Balanced doesn't mean fun. If Hearthstone games were decided by a single coin flip, that would be balanced too, but it wouldn't be fun. Cards like Keleseth brings the game closer to flipping coins, where the outcome is no longer decided by good decisions taken over the course of several turns, but by whether or not your got lucky with your opening hand. There are countless other cards that also play out like this, but Keleseth might be the worst offender at the moment.
Agree with this. Very poorly designed card.
But I do play 3 different decks currently that use the card. As the aggresive tempo style deck is a playstyle I enjoy so I try not to get too hung up on how swingy the card is when drawn early.

Funny that he was my guaranteed first 10 pack-legendary and i dusted him (golden version so it was 1600 dust).
Kinda wish i could craft him now lol.

Just draft a Kelesth Arena deck! Was mage and went 5-3. Not bad for a deck with only one card that cost less than 3. Only drew him twice in 8 games

I tried having fun once. It was awful.
How in any way is N'Zoth the most well balanced card in the game??
