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.
"Audacity"? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Clearly the weakest of the gods announced so far. Its a slower Varian.
if you want a card that can single handedly give you a massive board you already have N'Zoth the Corruptor and with N'Zoth you have complete control over what you summon. You cant put this in Control Warrior or Priest because of the risk of pulling out things like Justicar and Elise. And if you want to play a deck thats entirely big minions theres already Astral Communion for that. I'm not sure what kind of deck you would even want to put this in.
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!!!
I really doubt that, unfortunately. Apart from the display issue (how are you going to scroll through your whole deck and pick a card, especially on mobile?) there's also the issue of the card saying at the END of your turn. The game isn't going to freeze time for you to pick after your turn ends and before your opponent's turn begins, and it certainly isn't going to let you pick during your opponent's turn. As a result, unfortunately, this will be a random card like Deathlord pulls when he dies.
Even if they did figure out a convenient way to scroll through your cards and pick one, it wouldn't work at the end of your turn, so it isn't really possible that we choose the card.
A less good Varian? I'm kind of disappointed. I was hoping Yshaarj would have something to do with the 7 sha. Like his DR would summon them. And this effect isn't even a build around effect like C'thun or N'zoth.

The effect is certainly strong, and i can see this being a complete game ender in Control VS Control games, but otherwise, just like N'Zoth, it's way too slow, and directly opposite of N'Zoth, this guy won't actually have immediate value, he could pull out an Argent squire, and then just die.
"The value"
Because you play this in a deck with Argent Squire... right.

Just like you wouldn't put in low cost minions in a Joust deck... oh yeah... that happened didn't it
There is kind of a difference between getting divine shield on a crappy minion and putting Ragnaros the Firelord or Ysera into play with 100% certainty.
This is surprisingly underwhelming, unless the lack of the word "randomly" actually implies some manner of choice as to which minion comes into play, in which case it is amazing. Otherwise, too likely to get a weak minion and just get removed next turn without having any significant impact on the board.

Art is cool though.
It's an alright card. But, not really worth the 10 mana slot considering it's old god counterparts have far stronger effects.

By turn 10 you might hope your opponent has run out of answers for a 10/10, and it should have taunt at least.
Otherwise your opponent might ignore your spent your whole turn putting it on the board and go for face or remove it with any removal they have left.
For 10 mana it just doesnt do enough immediate action to be reliable i'd say. It's the worst Old God we've seen so far. I'm disappointed :-/
I Have No Time for Games
Oh my!
I don't like this card ...
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
I'm not good at poetry

Cars is good, doesn't have a home yet.

Wants to play Captain Cookie Druid because why not?
yay no dust for those crap legendary, damn I might not spend all my dust after all
Doesn't play nice with the other Old Gods :/
I was starting to think this expansion wasn't very high variance.....
The fact that you always get 2 minions is interesting, still might be too slow for a midrange deck to really use.

At least we got information from this card that bgh is going to get nerfed
