So...why does this cost 4 mana? Its just a harvest golem with taunt (which while relevant is also not worth an entire mana crystal). This seems more like an overreaction to shredder being too strong of a deathrattle card than anything. This guy should at least spawn a 2/3 honestly.
Looking at it, it's basically 4/5 worth of stats with taunt for 4 (beats Senjin by 1), with the drawback of losing taunt at 3. Also not dying from a Fireball. I think it's stickiness can give it an edge over Senjin (though I can see playing it along with Senjin, they serve similar purposes, but this one's slightly stickier.
Taken in a vacuum, yeah it's kinda meh. But pare it in a deathrattle deck with Volazj and it can be decent (getting a 1/1 with taunt that spawns a 2/2 isn't bad).
not a 4/5, because at any point, its always has 2 attack presence
Hmm, what an incredibly mediocre card, following the last 6 incredibly mediocre card reveals. So far I am not super impressed with WOTOG, Secret Eater has been the only thing to really wet my appetite and C'Thun seems ok.

Harvest Golem is a 4/4 without taunt. This is just an alternative taunt for turn 4 which can't be oneshot. It can potentially kill 2 opponent cards. Since Owl might get nerfed, this would be a better option against aggro than Senjin is. Otherwise Senjin is better to deal a bit more damage faster which is better in a not so aggro meta. Since it deals 3 damage in 1 turn instead of 2. Might be irrelevant on turn 4 though, so this card is probably better than Senjin unless silenced. And if this baits silence, fine. Not as bad as getting a Sludge silenced or something bigger.

Against aggro this card is a 3 hp taunt. Because face hunter will simply ignore the Deathrattle, look at this card as a 2/3 Taunt for 4 mana, it doesn't protect you much while sen'jin is a 5 hp taunt for the same cost and have 1 more damage stat
Bad in constructed, but still might see some play of people trying to pull off some kind of deathrattle theme, probably with priest and the new legendary. Seems okay against aggro as a tool to trade efficiently, but you will get more damaged in the process.

That's why I said 4/5 worth of stats. The same way you'd describe a Haunted Creeper as giving 3/4 worth of stats for 2 mana, even if the individual tokens aren't that powerful. It's looking at the value of the card.
The only place where this card is playable is in arena where it will suffice for a mediocre taunt, if you don't have any others, but even then it's still really quite bad and will never see the light of day in constructed.

Lion King: Alternate Ending ;3
A harvest golem that pays 1 more mana for 1 more health. Too weak for 4 drop, though.

They should call this card Splooge Belcher, because if you put this in your deck, you're screwing yourself.
bad card is bad
Decent in arena.

Same stats sum as Evil Heckler which is barely playable.
But this card is not so bad (in standard). Standard probably will not have enough sticky minions and even cards like Infested Tauren may be played.

Can save your ass in arena in extremely rare situation when poped from piloted sky golem.
Other than that its a nerf for aforementioned card if we count constructed.
not choosing ths over my golden Sen'jin Shieldmasta
need take time to make new pic and signature using the new cards.
If the slime had taunt this card might be playable.
Thankfully I have 60 rogue for golden Senjin. Now need 60 warrior for my golden Yeti...
