It is a 4-drop roughly 80% of the time. 4 out of 5 times you cast this. I'm considering it a 4-drop "most" games.
I hear what you are saying. That said, to be honest Bob & Viper appear have very, very little in common, pedigree-wise or ceiling-wise. Yes, you are making a great argument on card evaluation but it feels a little forced here.
I've actually played with Ohran. Back when they printed him. And, yes, I just recently rebuilt a Snow Stompy deck now that Snow is back. I do have quite a bit of real-world experience playing with this card. Not a bad card but he's nothing stellar. Try him (or this new guy) out if you want but don't expect him to be some powerhouse.
Oakhame Adversary feels like a trap. Someone else pointed out that it basically is this but with some (fairly unreliable) multiplayer trinket text added on. I think that's about right most of the time and Viper isn't exactly setting the world on fire.
I do see quite a few C/U staples I'm picking up for different decks. (in no particular order)
Crashing Drawbridge is just a godsend for weenie decks. I will be trying it out in quite a few decks I think. I think this card might prove to be a mistake, honestly.
Also stocking up on 4x Edgewall Innkeeper & Lucky Clover for when we go back to Zendikar. I can't imagine a more likely return of Adventures than that.

Also picked up 4x Cavalcade of Calamity (to go with 4x Torbran, Thane of Red Fell.) Seems like there's a deck there somewhere.
