With the reveal of Kobolds and Catacombs, every class gets an overpowered legendary weapon. Does anyone see a reason why Harrison Jones doesn't become auto-include in every deck now? Is it finally time to craft him?
What if the best weapons of the set are ones with insane deathrattles that you don't want to destroy? What if a lot of their power comes from their battlecries. You think they are going to design them in a way that everyone auto includes ooze and harrison? Would you use Harrison to counter quest warrior?
Honestly, there are two ooze cards that remove weapons, another that removes a durability (will rotate out in April) and Bloodsail Corsair that removes a durability too. If the weapons become a big deal, including the four ooze cards may very well be enough. Harrison Jones could be good to add if you have him already, but until we see more about these weapons I don't know if anyone can say he's auto-include.
When you think about it the released legendary weapons aren't that overpowered.
If you consider the mage weapon Aluneth which draws you 3 cards, you would begin to have issues with your hand size which could lead you to burning a combo piece if you hand is already full. It would draw you to the late game faster and would bring you to fatigue faster than you opponent would.
And if you take a look a priest's legendary weapon Dragon Soul, they have to spend mana to summon the 5/5 so the average manfaa spent would be about 4-6 mana on spells, even then it's highly unlikely that they would be willing to commit many spells just to summon 5/5's. The only thing that gives you enough spells to continue summoning 5/5's is Lyra, and although it is a great card, it doesn't see much play lately due to the 'RazaKus' archetype popularity.
I don't think Harrison Jones is an auto-include unless you are playing decks with a lack of card draw such as aggro decks, control decks may only run glutinous ooze since they would have their hand almost full most of the game
Maybe not all the weapon will see play (think of Quests and DKs) so if just one or two will be good then I think that oozes will work fine enough. Ofc if you already have Harrison Jones than go for it, but I don't think it will be a must-craft.

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?

It would be idiotic to craft him this early.

Both too soon to tell and oozes work just fine. You don't NEED Harrison.

epic ooze could be better vs aggro, where as harrison better vs control
