So we are about to be 3 expansions into the year of the raven and Prince Keleseth is still as frustrating as ever. The main argument for the card remaining unnerfed is the lack of variety in other 2 drops. Hence why aggro was running Amani Berserker early on. Until everyone figured out that the overall increase in winrate for running the prince made running other 2 drop obsolete.
So the question is: If by the mid point of this expansion, the play rate of keleseth hasn't decreased significantly, is it time for a nerf?
Blizzard might pull a Patches and say "time to nerf it right at the end of it's lifespan", or they might just say "it's not that broken in Wild" and just leave it be. Personally, I don't think it's gonna happen.
I think keleseth is fine. It's not a super well designed card, but id currently is only abused consistently in zoo. And they have worse openers than keleseth.
In deathrattle hunter and shudderwock, I honestly don't find the card as snowbally.
Kele doesn't see much play in wild so I doubt it will get a nerf right before it rotates. Compared to patches, which was incredibly dominant in wild and still sees play in things like odd rogue or pirate warrior, would've been an issue if it wasn't nerfed.

No nerf necessary yet.
Occasionally gives helpful advice.
It's just another cancerous aggro card that enables every class to play an aggro deck, that tempos you out of the game.
Do i like keleseth? No.
Is it broken? No.
Those who are given more in life, must not cling to it, but risk it all at every moment!
Saying it’s not oppressive is a joke. Keleseth is the definition of oppressive when used in decks like zoo. It turns a 50/50 matchup into a 80/20.

For a more accurate discussion, I paste the stats https://hsreplay.net/cards/#text=kele
23% of decks and 53% winrate doesn't seem that nerfable...
I doubt it... it's becoming less and less relevant in standard and is basically non-existant in wild. Genn and Baku are the real problem nowadays
