I'm quite new to Shadow Era, so excuse me for sounding newbish.
I'm playing around with the shadow mages, Majiya and Gravebone in particular, so it kind of led me to looking into these two cards, Keldor and Deathbone. Both seem like decently solid 3 resource cards, although I sort of favor Infernal Gargoyle over both.
Anyway, enough of that. At face value, it seems to me like Keldor is superior to Deathbone in most situations. Deathbone has a combined HP+Attack value of 4, while Keldor has a combined value of 6. Deathbone's ability pushes his combined value to 6, but at the cost of his life. Keldor innately has the same value as Deathbone, as well as having an ability that is akin to being able to cast Extra Sharp on himself.
I know that Deathbone's nearly-guaranteed 2 damage is useful, but I honestly don't think that overcomes the fact that it has such low damage and HP. Keldor just seems like a better choice to go with, since he is able to work better in many more situations, and able to survive twice the beating of Deathbone.
