Congrats man! I'm not going to hate on ya, thats an impressive achievement!
I have everything but leeroy to give this deck a shot. I'm no where near legendary and am running something similar. I like the situational versatility blade fury can provide.
Can you provide some insight as to why you dont run golem?

I found Golem to be a little too slow, as I'm trying to rush down the control decks as fast as possible to finish them off with any combination of sap, leeroy, shadowstep and eviscerate. They would be good against aggro and other midrange decks, but i've made a concession. Leeroy is absolutely key to this deck, half of my wins would be completely impossible without him, as i'm trying to tempo my opponents out of the midgame and finish them off with cards such as leeroy in the late game. Thats what makes cards like Sap so good, if played while applying pressure, it basically reads like Assassinate, where they can't afford to play a card like Sylvanas or Caller of the Claw again on the next turn.
Also, what do you do against druid and control paladin?
Our decks are quite different, like I stated in the other response, i'm mainly relying on dumping all my gas during the early and mid game and trying to finish them off with Leeroy and burn in the late game. I can definitely see your deck being a great midrange-ish board control deck that curves out to Ragnaros. I wouldn't use VanCleef though, I just find it a very awkward card as it so frequenty gets silenced, bounced or hard removed after forcing you to play sub-optimally in order to get him big. I'd definitely use another Defender of Argus and drop the Smiths for Shattered Sun Cleric, I think the Smiths are just too slow against aggro and not impactful enough against control.
Against Druids and Pallies I try to pressure them as hard as I can and keep momentum through the match. Save sap and Sylvanas for the late game where you can use them to beat their Ancient of War and other large taunters. I have a close to 50% winrate against druids, and pallies are much, much easier, as you can often pressure them with few creatures, making Equality+Consecrate/Pyro/Wrath not the greatest of trades and finish them off with Leeroy. Save Sylvanas and Sap for Tirion and other taunters. Tinkmaster would help tremendously against both of these matchups.
I remember playing you last night when we were both rank 1 =P it was disheartening having my innervated turn 1 chill wind yeti sapped back to my hand =P
Gratz man, hopefully ill get to meet you in ranked again, was fun

You did end up winning that one though right? Good game!

Made this deck with Thalnos instead of loot hoarder and Tinkmaster instead of dark iron dwarf. But it seems very weak. Often your hand gets filled up with dead cards (early leeroy, shadowstep, defender with no minions, so forth). What gives? I assume that I'm doing something wrong. Did you really play this deck all the way through to leg?

Of course you should mulligan these cards away, and it does still happen somewhat often, but not enough to hinder my ability to win most of my matches. A common mistake is not going all in with your minions on your opponents life total, make sure you play ultra aggressive (but not reckless). I'm currently sitting at #14, having peaked at #12 NA.
Over 257 wins (i'd say like 350 games?)
I'd definitely replace Loot Hoarder with Bloodmage Thalnos and either Shattered Sun Cleric or Dark Iron Dwarf with Tinkmaster Overspark, which I haven't been able to acquire yet

Hmmm rogue getting into legendary...More impressed with hunters or priest who do it.

Because of leeroy?
Congratulations,
what do you think of my variation?
Also, what do you do against druid and control paladin?
I have no clue how people manage with these low draw decks, honestly.
Most people I see running decks similar to this still run golems because of the value...

How long did it take you?
You did end up winning that one though right? Good game!
257 wins, probably around 50ish hours of play?
yes i did, but it was a good game indeed :P
Damn I need to craft leeroy asap.
Seems like a super fun deck.
How do you fare against shaman?
It's the hardest matchup. I sort of fold to a turn 5 Earth Elemental if I don't have Sap or Sylvanas, and its not that great even if I do
replacement for jenkins?
There isn't one
Closest thing to jenkins is the arcane golem, different backdraw+lower damage, though.

Reckless Rocketeer or Arcane Golem
