BanalityBob - 3/5 - Keelut suffers much the same problem that Akhlut does, although Shub’s Monster contingent is far beefier. Combining this with a Ghoul deck with Baka and cards like Albino Goat Spawn could get nasty fast, because you’ll be winning all the combat and terror struggles. You’ll still have to find a way to get decent arcane and investigation playing basically mono- faction, though or you might end up a bit on the slow side. Still, having multiple Keelut in play with even one or two Monster characters can make things rough on an opponent.
Danigral - 1/5 - I didn’t like the Cthulhu versions of this card and I don’t like this one. For cost 3 there are much better cards. Compare to Savio which gives ALL your characters Terror and Fast.
dboeren - 2/5 - An OK card for a mono-Shub monster themed deck (with Ghoulist Worshipper), but won’t see play outside of that.
Kamacausey - 2/5 - If shub didn't already have so many great 3 costed characters than this guy might stand a chance but as is he will just get overshadowed time and time again. Poor Keelut...
mnBroncos - 2/5 - downside of only Shub cards (at least this one allows neutrals too) is a real downside. Also I don’t see many Chthonian cards being played and adding just a combat to monsters isn’t enough to make this guy see play at 3 cost.
Reckoner - 1/5 - The three drop slot is a sweet spot for deckbuilding in this game and so each character in that spot needs to do a lot. Keelut just doesn’t have enough going for it and like Akhlut, I don’t think it will see much play.

I don't understand why the reviews for this card are so negative.  Everyone has (rightly) fallen in love with Black Dog while his partner-in-crime gets rejected.  Keelut is really hard to get rid of, and he's non-unique, meaning your Black Dogs can grow to obscene levels.  I like Ghoulish Worshipper, but if I only had room for one, I'd take Keelut because he pairs better with Black Dog.

 

This point extends to Marsh Gug as well.  Keelut ensures you'll win the combat struggles when it matters most, allowing you to set off the Gug's nasty triggered ability.
