Key Card: Elise Starseeker
Dunno if this works lol
Basically use effects that return Elise Starseeker to your hand and trigers battlecry several times.
Use draw abilities whenever possible to find Golden Monkeys in your deck.
Brann Bronzebeard combos nicely with Elise Starseeker and even Coldlight Oracle.

Thx for all the comments :)
For those who concerned about this, the deck this just showing a rough idea of my thoughts on this. It could be loads of changes after the patch hits. As you guys mentioned, three issues are essential to be tested later:
1. Average turns it takes to find the Golden Monkey.
2. Will we be able to survive before that? (Consider balance of draw power and cards for survival)
3. How good is Golden Monkey?
But anyways even if it is not competitive, I believe it could be a fun deck with reasonable strength to play :P

As the mighty Elise Starseeker finally unlocked, all comments and tests are super welcomed :)
Since this is a theorycraft that created one month ago, it should be lots of improvements on this deck from now on. However I really wanna keep this snapshot of my thoughts one month ago so I will not make any changes on this theorycraft. If I figure out a more feasible version of this I will save it in a new page. Also, I will be glad to see different versions that you guys created.
Have fun!
Brann Bronzebeard triggers battlecries twice. That's a clear indicator that you would be able to have two Maps, considering that Elise Starseeker is a battlecry minion.
Nice point, not sure how it works... But if this is the case will Map to the Golden Monkey be able to rob your opponent's monkey from thier deck (or even from thier board) since only one monkey is allowed? Sounds not very reasonable but might be possible... Anyway we'll find the answer real soon :P
Gang Up might not help on your quest for the Golden Monkey that much but it gives you 3 extra legendaries if you use it before playing the Golden Monkey.
Really hope something like this becomes tier 3 or 2 somewhere down the road. This list seems pretty bad, but its ofc the concept that matters here.
I think that in the event that Elise Starseeker dosen't work out in testing, which i hope it will but i can see problems (no draw mechanics, the mill wincon goes away because you have stopped milling your opponent, legends have a high curve in general so only playing 1-2 cards a turn may get overrun etc.). But if it dosen't work out, I think Reno Jackson would be a pretty good substitute in the event the game goes to fatigue. You can outheal your opponent and with the ability to bounce him a few times with Shadowstep or the brewmasters would just win the fatigue war.
Reno Jackson is pretty bad because of gang up
I think its more for control warriors woh have exhausted all resources to use as a last resort, kinda like jaraxxus .
and a deck with 30 legendaries wont make it past turn 5 cause he wont be able to play anything
Most people who understand the concept of this game can get to rank 10 with the shittiest deck anyway.
My biggest obstacle for ladder is the grind...
I'd like to see Reno Jackson in here I feel like it would synergize very well with Golden Monkey. Also, since this is a fatigue deck, you could play this late game for a huge heal.
Reno Jackson would not trigger if you have several maps in the deck from Shadowsteping Elise. But you still have control over how many copies there are.
Golden Monkey could give repeat legendary cards and the effect could also replace Reno Jackson with another Legendary depending on how the card functions. My assumption is that the effect doesn't care what you already have in your deck/hand and that all cards, regardless of its card type will be replaced no matter what. Golden Monkey is meant to be full on RNG. You can get a hand full of Boom, Sylvanis, and Rag, or a hand full of Nat Pagles, Sunwalker Cho, and WIldfred Fizzlebang just the same.
Read the comments before posting plz!
Map to the Golden Monkey Please read it.
Add Chromaggus ?
Check this out :
by the time that you would get the blingtron/harrison combo off you would already be dead
we must play some draw creatures here, like Gnomish Inventor, Loot Hoarder, Bloodmage Thalnos.
Sprint is to heavy here
Curious: why return Elise Starseeker to your hand and replay it if every monkey\map in your deck gets turned into a legendary after you play the first monkey?
