It's a bad idea if you want to continue using Rhok'delar and To My Side. However those cards are honestly not what makes the minionless deck good and it seems to perform much better as a "Big Hunter" deck where you play cards like Barnes and Ya'Shrajj or the new Hunter Legendary along with King Krush and the other charge dinos.
I am playing No Minion Hunter{which is very fun to play, because I crush mage every time I use it :) }
Since there is no minions, in theory, you add the Barnes and Yashraj Combo.
However, is that a good or bad idea?
I tried the deck with Barnes and Y'shaarj a couple of times as it was one of my favorite during Karazhan meta, but I drew Y'shaarj BEFORE Barnes twice, and in that case both Two My Side and Rhok'eldar were noth playable and I ended up losing the game. I'm sure that you can give the deck a try too, but it is not so consistent as the minionless one.
How could this be good in any situation? Best case scenario is still terrible or am i missing something?
Best case is you play Barnes on turn 5, creates a 1/1 YShaarg which pulls the "real" 10/10 YShaarg. If they don't have dinner kind of hard removal it will hurt.
I really think this kind of thing works better with priest who can resummon the big minion once kied or recruit warrior which will have more big threats to call. Even best-case, it's only one minion.

About half of the games you will draw yshaarj earlier then barnes, as you cant really justify to hard mulligan for barnes. Seems like a very poor combo to add.
I created a big hunter deck which does what I think you are hoping to do. It doesn't have To My Side! or Rhok'delar, but it's been performing really well. Check it out and let me know what you think

I've single-handedly won Renounce Lock games by using the Y'Sharjj & Barnes combo in it, which is also a minionless deck before using Renounce. This combo has the same benefit for this type of deck. To my side & Rhok aren't even needed for Spell Hunter, everyone knows the spellstone is what actually carries the deck.
The potential turn 3~4 Barnes may steal way more games for you than To My Side!, Rhok'delar is fine with the Barnes package as you hardly ever want to play it on curve anyway.
So basically drop 2x To My Side! and add 1x Barnes, 1x Y'Saaj. As long as it runs Rhok'delar its a spell hunter for me.

I'd say bad becayse ysarjj wouldn't summon any minions plus rhokdelar and to my side! Wouldnt work like they are supposed to since you added minions

it's not a horrible idea....but you hinder your deck slightly if you don't draw Barnes before turn 6.
he would summon a 1/1 of y'shaarj who would summon the 10/10 version out of your deck and becoming a minionless deck again
.
It's an alternate win condition that you've committed to being a coin flip, it's definitely a good idea but you can't rely on it to be your only out.
I can only see it increasing your winrate against decks that would otherwise be a total loss because now you'd have an ace in the hole via rng

That is big hunter, not No minion hunter.
Kolento ran a version running Barnes and didn’t include to my side. He was playing at high legend and it worked fine.
