It's better than Leeroy just as Nitroboost Poison wouldn't have made the cut in Odd Rogue because Vilespine Slayer was too good (your words).
Again, I'm not saying it won't see play, but just that you can't possibly compare it to Leeroy, bacause:
They cover different roles in the gameplan;
They have a very different way to approach their own downsides.
I mean, if you really want to run Charge damage you have Wolfrider, which has the same cost and -1/-1, but you don't ramp your own opponent while playing an aggro deck.
There is a very big difference between Arcane Golem and Leeroy Jenkins - while the former is cheaper, you don't play it as a finisher.
Therefore, giving your opponent a mana crystal is quite a big downside if you want to race him down. On the other hand, when Leeroy hits the board it's because you want to kill your opponent, so the 1/1s Whelps are not relevant.
Not saying reverted Arcane Golem is trash and won't see play, but rather that saying it's a better Leeroy is wrong.
I think people are grossly underestimating this card. Overlord Runthak is huge in Hunter, especially if combined with Trueaim Crescent for a double buff.
Unfortunately I can't predict the future, but I can tell you this much - whether or not Cenarius will see play, we can generally agree on the fact that being at 8 mana will make its life way easier than before.
Yep, we're already working on that - thanks for pointing it out though!
Oh God oh no. No please. No God.
Hey that's me!
Aww, that's quite sweet! Thank you so much: seeing that someone appreciates your content is really rewarding! I'll definitely keep it going.
Thanks for the confidence boost :)
Nope, but a fair prediction is that both Barrens and Core will be in there.

So, what about Recurring Villain? I think the card has a lot of potential, especially if you want to have fun rather than aim to top 100 Legend.
Would you be able to build something around it?
This comment did age like fine wine.
Remember the Hir'eek, the Bat thumbnail of the last year?
What are you talking about? You can definitely include a regular Doctor Krastinov and a Golden one Kappa
On a serious note, my finger might've clicked twice when building the deck - second Corsair Cache would be a good way to go.

Zixor Prime, Augmented Porcupine, Wolpertinger.. we're getting there.
Yeah, most likely.
I totally agree with you - since the first time I saw it I've always thought of it as a cool tempo/midrange card, not as an OTK one.
I think you misspelled Skill Command sir.
Tickatus is quite good against Silas OTK Warrior.
Moveover, Garrosh will lose its draw/armor gain shell with Ancharrr, Risky Skipper and Battle Rage rotating.

You're right - I completely forgot about those two!
