The following is a text version of my Hearthstone Highlight video on Harrison Jones. Feel free to tear apart my discussion points or inform me of anything I've done wrong!
---
Harrison Jones is an explorer and archaeologist within WoW first appearing inside Zul'Aman as part of a twenty-minute timed quest. The character returns to the game in Wrath of the Lich King and can be found at the Drakil'jin Ruins within the eastern Grizzly Hills. Finally Harrison Jones plays a role within Cataclysm providing quests in Uldum and, finally, appearing in Stormwind Keep.
In Hearthstone Jones is a 5 mana cost, 5 attack, 4 health minion with a pretty cool battlecry, which is to destroy the opponents weapon (if they have one in play) and draw cards equal to its durability. This battlecry is a good defensive move during a match with a weapon-heavy deck, or even if you just need to get rid of that blasted weapon! It can backfire, though, so be careful.
There is a chance you could draw up to the hand limit, which is 10 cards, meaning any cards drawn past that point are destroyed. Always keep track of the number of cards in your hand when you play Harrison Jones, though, and you should be fine.
Jones is a LEGENDARY card with a crafting cost of 1600dust for a normal version, and 3200dust for the golden version. This card will disenchant into 400dust and 1600 dust for normal or golden versions respectively. Over at Hearthpwn.com this deck is used in 6.79% of all decks built, with Paladin decks being the most common to add this card.
Although there are no cards that specifically replicate Harrison Jone's battlecry the rogue card, blade
flurry, can be used to destroy the players current weapon dealing its damage to all enemies. Another card whose ability is to destroy the enemy weapon is the Acidic Swamp Ooze, whose battlecry is to do just that, destroy the currently equipped weapon of the opponent.
Matt Dixon is the artist on this card and has contributed art towards two other cards, Gagetzan Auctioneer and Succubus.
Harrison Jones has a long history with WoW and it would seem, in Hearthstone, isn't someone to leave behind if you can afford him. His ability can help even the playing field and even then, being a 5/4 minion isn't something to laugh at.
Overall looks good. Although one critique I have is why mention blade flurry? Yes, it destroys a weapon, but it destroys your weapon. I would just take that portion out and simply state the Ooze's battlecry (which is similar to Harrison Jones)
But that's the one thing that stuck out in my mind. Otherwise it's well thought out.
I can understand why that'd stick out as. It does the opposite of Jones, really, but it is an alternative that destroys a weapon and does something good for you with it, which is what I was looking for.

I don't see why you talk about Blade Flurry. It has nothing to do with Harrison but using similar keywords. :)
What could be interesting is to compare him with similar cards (cost or stats) as well, to see if it is worth it or not to put it in a deck.
I have an opinion on almost everything. :)
