Twisting Nether was very playable and is on the classic set. Keli'dan the Breaker can be combined with Plot Twist but it would be the same for 8 mana.
Favours Plot Twist, but will most likely just see play as an alternative to Siphon Soul. Topdeck effect will more likely than not only go off on pure chance.
Godfrey wasn't game breaking - this is worse.
Godfrey had an element of skill with the repeat effect, this is just topdeck incarnate.
Just when you think I didn’t draw it this turn, Plot Twist: I DID draw it this turn.
This is worse than the card its supposed to replace (Lord Godfrey) which guaranteed a full boardclear most of the times when played, or with little efforts to setup.
This is often not helping out as a AoE, but a weaker Flik Skyshiv, which is not impressive anymore for a minion at 6 Mana, especially at weak 3-3 stats.
I'd assume Warlocks are still forced to auto include this, just because of lack of viable Options. Since this is a direct replacement for Godfrey, but its still not gonna be as reliable nor efficient like our old friend.
Yea, and Lord godfrey could deal with deathrattle cards. This cant.
Here's the card from the official website:

Who translated this? Even google translate gives "Keli'dan the destroyer".
Also, look no further than this comment section to find out why >9 deckslots is confusing.

that was his name in WoW, though.
You see there is this game called World of Warcraft...
Oops... I guess I'm the confused one here.
I don't see why there's so much hype on this. A huge effect that only works when you topdeck it in the right turn with the right board.Just think about it, you top deck it at turn 6, YAY, but you had 2 minions on board NOPE.
This only works "consistently" (no) with Plot Twist... But I mean, 8 mana destroy all board... Does a 3/3 justifies running a 2 card RNG combo when you could just simply use Twisting Nether? I don't think so. If at least were a 5/5, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. 6 mana 5/5, kill a minion, and sometimes you get a HUGE effect. Seems legit. But a 3/3? Nope.
Unless we get direct support for this, I don't think it'll be used. Jeez, Warlock needed a board clear minion since Lord Godfrey is rotating. I guess we won't see control warlock in a while.
You are right that a two card combo is not good. BUT ... *if* plot twist would see play for other reasons (say, some combo control warlock), then this suddenly becomes quite good.
6 mana 3/3 is not terrible though. We saw it in rogue with that 5 mana combo 3/4 which was played a lot. ok, there's a few things: a) 3/4 > 3/3. b) 5 > 6 (">" in the sense of "better") and c) rogue can get more value from that. but i think i prefer this over 6 mana destroy a minion and get 3 life. so it's not all bad. but yeah, warlock needs more support to get this card into its decks.
(btw: we saw control warlock quite a lot in DoD. godfrey will be missed though)
Yes! We saw control warlock, and I used it. But was it as good as most of the other decks? I don't think so. Most of control warlock decks are below 50% in Hsreplay. That's not viable at all.
We have to wait for the rest of the set. I think warlock has some cards missing. Anyway, this card seems more of an epic than a legendary.
oh, i didn't even notice it's legendary.... i agree, it rather fits the likes of an epic.
This card is fine. More times then not people are going to draw it as their mulligan redraw...
Next Reveal : Apprentice of Keli'dan, 1 MANA 2/1. Effect : Draw Keli'dan
This is the type of RNG card that has terrible design philosophy. One of the players will get mad every time. What do I mean by this? Well if you're playing this card and top deck after turn 6 it you'll be laughing and your opponent will be mad as soon as you play it (cause it enforces the idea of being a top deck) and in the opposite case, you'll be mad every time you draw it before turn 6 as it'll never be a full clear. Awful desing on this card. Every game one of the players will feel like shit at some point cause of this card.
I guess they dont want to learn from their other shit design choices
