Disguised Toast said that this card has to do something with Jade Lotus. Why would blizzard say that this is related to the jade lotus? Is it because of the card being a panda(rian)? or does it has some synergy with the jade lotus theme?
My theory: Jade Lotus theme is creating token minions. This card becomes automatically playable and not bad. The druid card Mark of the Lotus supports this theory, (come on mark of the "LOTUS", it has to do something with the main mechanic), its the Power of the Wild 's effect used the most by token druid.
Lotus Assassin and Shakru, the collector do synergyze a lot with her effect if they get pulled, so swapping Minions remains an option of being Lotus' theme.

I don't think swapping will be a theme, look at the goons....does +1/+1 show in any neutral card? it only stays with the three classes.
Seems possible, but Madam Goya is a neutral though so you never know.
Dopplegangster is a neutral, and it has High synergy with goons.
Yeah, that is very true, but i'm just saying. Your theory is a pretty good one though and it did cross my mind too sometime before Goya was even released.

Summoning tokens, no, i meant swaping board and deck minions. I don't quite get you on the token part, why would that be related in any way with the card presented, which is kinda related to jade?

Yeah, that and Pilfered Power. Btw, now that i think about it wouldn't Dopplegangster have synergy with the token theme as well. I mean it gets buffed better by thinks like Mark of the Lotus. And i don't think it sounds too bad to switch a Dopplegangster copy to another minion in your deck with Madam Goya. Hmmmm... maybe Dopplegangster will have synergy with all of the gangs?

Firstly swapping cards as a mechanic is NOT POSSIBLE, why? Look at the goons; their theme was "Give +1/+1 to minions/weapons in your hand" , which if you examine closely is ONLY present in the three classes, the neutrals card which were released were mostly the one which had high synergy with the mechanic, or were thug/ gangsta like. So swapping is not it.
Second of all as i said, "...the neutral cards released had high synergy with the key mechanic..." that's why i think Madam Goya points towards the JL theme. "tokens". think about it, free bringing out minions in exchange of tokens is high synergy. Blizzard itself said this card is related to JL.

I think a token-spewing theme is possible for Jade Lotus, but unlikely. I don't equate "cold, efficient assassins" with "SPAM THE BOARD WITH EVERY DUMB IDIOT YOU CAN FIND". If anything, that would be the Grimy Goons' theme (but we know what their theme is now). No, I think we'll get plenty of Stealth and "opportunistic Battlecry" minions. Battlecries that help to swing the board or gain extended value (which could be summoning tokens, true).
If we look at it from a gameplay perspective, both Druid and Shaman can build boards quickly with cheap, weak-ish minions. That's the only reason I say it's possible.
I think the only reason Goya is related to the Jade Lotus is she's a pandaren who runs an illegal Black Market and would have no problem hiring or working with assassins.

I almost wonder if Madam Goya is something of a reference to Madam Gao from Daredevil, the leader of the Chinese heroin trade in Hell's Kitchen
I hope that unpredictable crap won't be JL theme.

She's actually from wow and runs the black market auction house that was added in MoP
What about Rogue? Rogue has no tokens.
