Well, every goblin in the deck is better with a haste lord out. In those scenarios he's eating an Abrupt Decay. I'm way happier to lose a Piledriver to an Abrupt Decay than I am a Warchief or Vial. If you view the deck as a Midrange deck as I do then Piledriver is literally the card for ending games. Losing your best attacker is not losing the game. You can just keep Matroning and Ringleadering until they die to the remaining garbage. Similar to how Shardless's win con is Goyf. They often win with just a 1/1 Flyer and a 2/2 after the dust settles and the kill spells flew.

An interesting take on the card. When I draw a Piledriver on a stalled board, I become noticeably closer to breaking through my opponents defenses, if not able the next time he could swing. In his own way Piledriver helps break parity by forcing chumps, but I see what you are saying.
Ultimately I agree that the card is not really for the deck, especially at 3 mana, though for somewhat different reasons.
If I edit a post without an explanation, I am just correcting typos and / or formatting.
