the more i thin about this card, the better it seems in control deck like control mage or control priest.
both decks s has a low creature count but their win condition are high end high impact creature that you are running or you stole. and many of the time, they don't have a battle cry effect. the fact the RNG of this card is easily manipulated makes it seem betterand and rather than a card you just throw into a ramp deck , i think the slower you can get this card out the better. this is not a card you want to play sas soon as possible but rather when you know you have a lower chance of getting devastating low drops like doomsayer or acolyte of pain or if you do ultimately play it in ramp, darnassus aspirant or any other low end drop you have that you don't want to hit mid to late game. this isn't a card you want to stick into your deck without consideration, like reno, it requires a very stally late game deck that requries you to hit the RNG at the right time. for the listed reasons, i do believe, this is a contender for control decks like maly shaman, freeze mge, andcontrol priest.
I'm really tired and disappointed in people being skeptical about his effect. "Oh, he's not even as good as Varian, he can pull out any crappy minion, he's removed super easily!"
First of all, Varian is a class legendary in a class that can't make extreme value out of him yet. If Varian was a neutral, it would be insane in some decks. Y'Shaarj can be INSANE in some decks.
Second, it's clear this isn't for a midrange deck, it screams only heavy control and combo. For instance, in a Rogue deck where you have tons of spells, Y'Shaarj becomes extremely strong because you can play your early game minions, which you'll be mulliganing for anyway, and with Gang Up to cycle tons of strong late game minions into your deck, and with mechanics like Stealth, it just becomes ridiculous. Y'Shaarj is a card that many who currently see it as weak will quickly hate when they lose to it, as it enables a lot of new things not quite possible before.
And of course, removal is seeing nerf. BGH is a huge target, and it just so happens to be the most OP problem for many WOG cards so far. That said, Y'Shaarj is meant to close a game out anyway (imagine playing Y'Shaarj + Prep + Gang Up and immediately summoning a second Y'Shaarj--the chances are actually pretty damn reasonable).
This card is huge for control decks that don't have game finishers like Grommash Hellscream. The fact that it's a neutral just makes it all the more unexpected when played. It's a good thing to see when a card like this comes out in an expansion filled with Midrange and Control cards.
P.S. Not to mention, Y'Shaarj can enable the Ancient One, especially when combo'd. Gang Up Y'Shaarj, Gang Up Blood, and your opponent has basically a timer to win if they don't have the several, several tools for removal (aka theyre not priest).
Just build the board to counter enemy minions not by no-brainer spells like Shadowords , hexes, etc. Just passive reactive plays. Thats what i meant. Play the card trading game you know, where "even single point of damage could mean difference between victory and defeat"@LorewalkerCho.
I don't get why people think this is a good card. You could be winning then play this card and die from getting hit in the face with direct damage spells, heal your opponent, or give your opponent a way better board then before you played this card. Yes this card could work in your favor but that doesn't always happen. If this card is playable which I doubt it will be it will be a very toxic card because it requires very little skill to play and is way too random. I honestly think that this card was made to be a gimmick rather than a competitive card.
... Wouldn't a Yshaarj'd Forbidden Ancient just be a 1/1?
Another crappy legendary I got. In 100 packs I got: Y'Shaarj, Herald Volazj and Hogger, Doom of Elwynn. Hogger is the only one that is playable and it isn't even good. ''Hurr durr but Y'Shaarj is good in an ancestral communion deck''. I don't care for playing a deck with terrible consistency. It's not even fun when it works because it takes 0 skill and it ruins your opponents day. Fun and interactive.
Fuck cubelock
Yours isn't that bad at all, I've opponed a bit less (80 packs)
And I have Herald, Boogie Monster, Zerus, Soggoth
Soggoth isn't that bad, but you get the idea... No N'Zoth, no Yogg-saron, No Emperor, no good class legendary. and I rather want Y'Shaarj than any of the legendary I got.
I got this in the release packs, but I still haven't figured a good use. Anyone?
I made a high control Rogue with a very consistent Y'Shaarj/Gang Up combo. It works surprisingly well and would recommend it to anybody that doesn't know what they want to do with their Y'Shaarj.
The key is to combo early and keep the board controlled long enough to get a Y'Shaarj/Prep/Gang Up combo going. Or just reduce the costs of both cards with Thaurissan. More times than not, you'll end your turn with two 10/10 bodies on the field.
I smell good
It works lol. Trust me. I have consistent 60% winrate, but I definitely feel like this deck could be made much better.
I smell good
Astral Communion Druid anyone? I find it to be very good in such a deck with very high top end and a small bottom end.
No one expects the Murloc Inquisition!

is there any use for this card outside astral communion since i cannot afford crafting 2 of those in any near future
i got this legendary from a pack and i dont know what to do with it i need dust for yogg saron and im feeling kinda bad about disenchanting this card
Ramp Druid. You can try synergy with Naga Sea Witch.
Card is very slow for other decks.
Betrayer... In truth, it was I who was betrayed. Still, I am hunted. Still, I am hated. Now, my blind eyes see what others cannot: that sometimes the hand of fate must be forced! Now go forth... unleash the tides of Doom... Upon all those...who would oppose us.
