I can see this card winning as yogg saron does quite a bit. Imagine you get antonidas, thalnos/malygos for rogues, something like that. At worst it's a "vanilla" card, at best it's a game changing.
It doesn't combo with anything. A lot of people here say ''combos with Malygos'' but no, it doesn't. In order for that combo to work you need to minimize the number of minions to make sure that this guy pulls out a Malygos. You also need to fill in the spells necessary to kill someone with Malygos. Fine. What happens then? You either get a Malygos in your starting hand thus rendering the combo completely useless or you play this card and it summons something else entirely.
The RNG effect makes this card unplayable.
It's pretty good in Hunter since most of your minions have solid deathrattles. It already has Yeti base stats so you don't need that much more to make it good. Especially with the new Kindly Grandmother you're pretty likely to be able to pull out something impressive.

This is the type of card you build decks around, see Gazlowe, Naga Sea Witch, Aviana, Astral Communion, etc.
They might not be GOOD decks, but they'll be creative decks, and you have to design cards for that part of the playerbase too.
Yeah, it's pretty good in control decks as said earlier, bit i want to see this card with Y'Shaarj. This dream. 3/4+1/1+10/10 vs shaman's only 7/7. Git gud boyz.
Just throwing spaghetti at the wall here, but potential zoolock addition? I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility; I think this card could at least challenge Gormok the Impaler in the 4-slot.
I have a feeling that this will see more play than people expect. Even in decks that it isn't obvious that he belongs in at first. There are just so many decks with priority targets
The best class for this atm is propably rogue. I mean Malygos, gadgezanare pretty sweet, the rest brings spellpower, or small value spells when die, the deck almost has no bad card for this so ill say maybe in maly rogue/miracle.
Looks like a bad card at first, 3/4 + 1/1 stats is worse than a yeti bcus when it trades with another 3/4 it leaves a 3/1 instead of a 4/2, and the effect can't be controlled since you can't predict what card comes out thus only making sense with Thaurissan or deathrattles. Can't really plan use it with only one minion in your deck because you might draw it before this card. Maybe in a deathrattle deck where you could actually get consistent value but it looks like a pretty bad card.
A 3/4 plus a 1/1 is OK for 4 mana, not good or bad. But think of a Dragon deck! Malygos, Ysera, Deathwing Dragonlord.

nobody mentioned summoning stone :)
Combos well with Elise... But otherwise will probably suck.
Shanking ankles since 2015.
this card is nuts..
This card is super cool. This is going straight into Resurrect Priest.

My mandibles which are capable of pressing down and tearing, my talons which are known to intercept and hold.
This guy is gonna do wonders for Rogue.. Gadgetzan, Tomb Raider, Azure drake.. most of the rolls are good! 4 mana gadgetzan :D

I think that using this in otk decks might be too greedy. It could be good in deathrattle deck but it could be awesome in other types of decks.
I will like to try it in miracle rogue. Free coin, questing adventurer or auctionier could be pretty good.
In otk deck you should put this minion, malygos or velen and a lot of card draw like loot hoarder and acolite. That way you are more consistent.

Meh
This card is really GOOD (perhaps OP) and will be played as much as bran or reno.
Love the tribes.

Off the top of my head:
Midrange Hunter Highmane and friends
N'zoth/control Warrior: Ysera, Chillmaw, Rag, Sylvanas, Cairne, Acolyte
Worgen warrior: Loot Hoarder, Acolyte, Emperor, Pyromancer
Miracle Rogue: Tomb Pillager. Auctioneer, Bloodmage, Xaril
He's basically a Yeti (as others have mentioned) with a giant, possibly game winning upside.
Imagine this with kelthuzad an ysharrj would be epic.
I am not a Mage player, just thought my avatar would go with my name.

Check out my homebrewn Paladin deck.
Even in Tempo Mage he seems good: Mana Wyrm, Apprentice, Bloodmage, Flamewaker, Rag/Anton
