Too late. I "feel" for those who crafted Keleseth this month lol
There are so many new board clears and obstacles: Warrior now has a new really good board clear Reckless Fury, Warlock is probably setting up a wall of taunts, other than the fact that it's one of the classes with the beast board clears of the game, Mage already has a lot of anti-aggro tools, and now has even more so due to new card-generating cards, Dragon Priest now has Duskbreaker which is insane as he can get an additional 2 from Netherspite Historian and we still need to see the new Hunter cards which I suppose are more Control oriented (thus some type of shitty board clear is to be expected).
I wouldn't say aggro is dead. Keleseth decks could still survive if they're able to Highroll against certain decks, but I'd say for the most part we'll see a return of The Caverns Below since the new secret and legendary will make the Quest 10x easier to complete. So we'll have a Control heavy meta (the better decks so far seem to be Jades, big druid,Razakus Anduin, Dragon Priest, Fatigue Warrior, Control Warlock, probably some kind of new OTK Mage and Elemental Mage, or probably even some kind of functional Mill Rogue), Quest Rogues, and a few sparse aggro and mid-range decks here and there.
BUUUT until they reveal all the cards all bets are off, though the scenario I described is what I believe we'll see.
Believe me when i say this , While Jade druid and Razakus priest exist , the meta will never be control (neither of those decks are control decks, they are slow midrange decks). Jade Druid is just too hard to outvalue , and even if you do out value jade druid you probably died in the process becuase of tempo loss. Razakus is just a broken OTK deck and is really hard not to get bursted down even at high amounts of armor (note: Warrior is the only class capable of reliably gaining big, constant amounts armor and isn't even close to having a meta deck, while having the best board clears in the game).
Right now the only deck that is getting usefull cards is Razakus and dragon priest, and dragon priest doesn't need board clears to survive against razakus or jade, so all i can see right now with the cards shown up to now is Razakus getting more anoying and no control to be found in the next meta.

Good news! After crafting DK Jaina I tried it out on Volatile Elemental and it does work! Now I have crafted this guy. Works indeed.

I'm a Chinese and I'll share my opinion on this. Personally I consider such censorship to be quite ridiculous, while I don't really care about it being a helmet or a skull. I believe that most people in China feels just the same way as you guys do when they see skeletons or ghosts or whatever, at least in our younger generation. Nonetheless, the censorship can be indeed VERY ridiculous at times, as I once watched a video on Youtube about censorship on WOW in China where they turn flesh and bones into loaves of bread...

Probably because Sindragosa was a blue dragon, and that species closely relates to mages? Consider Kalecgos and Jaina :P

Control Warrior will definitely have to prepare a Brawl for this.

I really like the artwork of this card. Also great art for recent mage legendaries Pyros and Inkmaster Solia. That alone justifies my fondness toward these cards.

If this guy's Deathrattle does indeed trigger Lifesteal, I'm wondering whether I should craft it lol...
