If you can keep him alive with a couple of early hits, Timecrafting can really help. Hell, if you have both in your hand you can drop him with a couple extra pints. But yeah, could've used Haste and/or Trample. Or something.

Turn 2: Jhoira's Timbeug Turn 3: Lavacore Elemental. Tap the Timebug to put a time counter on it every turn forever. Enjoy your permanent turn 3 5/3.

I actually rather like this card. Combine with cheap tramplers (especially in multiplayer) and you're likely to keep it counter'd up. The 5 damage per turn, the constant card advantage if they block, or the fact that they'll spend removal on *this* causes issues for people. Nice thing is, they want to wait to spend removal until they see that you can get it to stick.
I want to point out that Distortion Strike does more damage with this guy than it does with Kiln Fiend; which is pretty impressive. Consider Reckless Charge + Dist. Strike for a total of 18 unblockable over 2 turns. Unfortunately it takes 5 mana; but it's quite doable on turn 3 with:
Deals 1 damage, you swing for 3 and 9 unblockable. Flashback reckless charge and deal 1 as keldon leaves, you swing for 9 unblockable and have dealt 20 damage, pending removal/fog/etc..

I recommend Reckless Charge, Fury Charm, Keldon Marauders. Proliferate can help, clock spinning is a 1-mana way to get him through. Distortion Strike
