This is not as good as people are predicting. To get good value, you have to guarantee that the card it pulls will be a high stated minion. Most decks will have some low mana cost stuff still in the deck. So this needs to be played in spell heavy decks. What needs to be seen though is what's going to happen with Big Game Hunter. If that gets a significant nerf, then clearing a 10/10 body becomes very difficult for a few classes. It might see play just based on that. Time will tell.
imagine the value playing Varian and getting this old god on board and the getting an awesome minions on board at end of turn. 3 Minions on board ez peezy lemon squeezy.

I think the old god images are being wasted with these un-original effect, i was expecting something more crazy, not extremely overpowered, but crazy, something new to the game. Same with N'Zoth. Im not saying the effects are THAT bad... but please, these are old gods
To all those who rushed to conclusions and didn't even have the audacity to read a card long enough to understand a wording, (mostly because most Cardstone players have never touched a card game before), where do you see the word random in this card? That ought to give you some food for thought.
Neither does Deathlord and that effect is random. Also from a practical standpoint: Hearthstone has no way to display all the minions in your deck to choose from. I'd bet money it's random.
I'm usually not one to whine about new cards, but man, what a boring design. No idea if this turn out to be viable or not but for being an old god I was expecting something more.. flashy.
This is probably better than varian. Varian just drew cards when played and you werent guaranteed to get a minion. This gets you a free mjnion from your deck, every turn, until it is destroyed. If this is on the board too long gg. This will be amazing in a deathrattle deck with n'zoth.
I was about to say this is the worst way to waste 10 mana but tbh it's still better than spending 10 mana on Forbidden Flame. Hard countered by Doom and that's a downright awful card.

I'm here to kick ass and play cards, and I'm all out of ass.
Actually we can create the deck with Y'Shaarj. 20 spells to control the board (with summons like Call Pet or Unstable Portal) and 9 heavy legendaries, like Foe Reaper or Deathwing. Seems good.
It's not a 'strictly worse Varian' since it's a guaranteed minion, at the same time it is a 10/10. You could build a spell heavy deck and put minions that would synergize with this card in your deck. I don't think it sucks but this card definitely needs more deck building strategy if you want to make it work out. I think it may be more powerful then people are giving it credit for.
could be good in masochistic decks of all legendaries. I don't see this being good for any other deck type really unless like some are saying, and you actually get to pick the card that comes out. If you can pick the card, this becomes a very good card.

Holy jesus!
GUYS THERE IS NO RANDOM IN THE CARD TEXT! WAKE UP! YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU PUT FROM YOUR DECK! YOU CAN CHOOSE RAG for example!!!

Imagine you have 6 Y'Shaarj in your deck

Also, varian is not neutral
Art = 15/10
Card effect = -7/10

Nope it says "put" not summon.
Underwhelming in comparison to the other old gods. Doesn't look very good to me...

Y'Sharaaj seems immensly good in ramp druid :P

Card is cool but bad. Worse than varian.
