Augmented Elekk is a card that will be released with the upcoming expansion, The Boomsday Project. In this thread, I will be listing every card that has a mechanic that allows for the shuffling of cards into a player's deck. As more cards are revealed, I will update this list. This update will take place for until all of the upcoming expansion's cards are revealed. Please be patient with this thread, as there is more to come. Once this list is finished, it will be updated to indicate this. In the past, I had done something similar with entire expansions, concerning what cards you can Discover with the newly released Discover cards. I will be taking a similar approach, separating cards based on class so that those of us who enjoy a certain class will know exactly what to expect when thinking on playing an Augmented Elekk deck.
Hope this helps. The biggest challenge with this list is accuracy in reporting. The concern is that Deathrattle cards might not qualify for the purpose of Augmented Elekk. This is only just a guess, and regardless of my concern, I will be listing cards with Deathrattle here as well.
Note: I will ONLY be including cards you will have access to in PVP matches, meaning token cards available through playmodes outside of Casual, Wild and Ranked play will not be considered for this list. If I'm missing anything here, or if you have a suggestion that can help better shape this thread, please do let me know.
*Cards that affect the entire board with their effect, if Augmented Elekk is shuffled into a deck with an effect while other targets are being shuffled into a deck, Augmented Elekk likely won't work. See the Necrotic Geist example below. Thanks again for raising the question, Luna.
**Cards that read that a card is swapped out with a card in a deck are technically considered a shuffle effect. Will confirm this interaction once the expansion is playable.
Thinking about it, this most likely does not work with Psychic Scream. It's like how Necrotic Geist won't summon minions if it's destroyed with a board clear. When a minion is involved in an effect that involves other targets, like Flamestrike versus Necrotic Geist, Necrotic Geist won't activate because it's part of the wipe.
Thank you for making me think on this, Luna. I'll make a special note.
How Augmented Elekk will interact with Psychic Scream? will he shuffle a copy of himself or the effect will not trigger?
I bet it would double it, as the Elekk is on the board the moment Psychic Scream is cast. It uses "when" (whenever), so it triggers before the spell finishes.
That, or all the cards that were played before the Elekk trigger.
I want for it to work very badly, but I don't believe it will. Psychic Scream is involving all targets at the same time, and because A.E. isn't being affected at a time/phase different from even the minion that's been in play for the longest, Elekk's effect will likely have its effect ignored before, during and after P.S. resolves.
Swap, not shuffle. It's positions in the deck will probably remain the same (according to the text, though you can never prove this).
While it's true that it's a swap, it might rely on the shuffle mechanic without telling us. I'll update the thread when we have solid confirmation. As it is, I love Madam Goya as a design. Really nice card. People never see the Icehowl play until it's too late.
Growing ever curious, I did some reading on swap versus shuffle, and according to this entry on Madam Goya, a shuffle does in fact take place. Because of this, Dr. Morrigan and Madam Goya are being added to the list with a special note. Wanted to make this comment here so that more value can be found in Dr. Morrigan. I believe we knew the answer to swap being considered a shuffle effect all along. We just might have legitimate confirmation, and can make more use of cards that might have flown under the radar for longer.
When the expansion is playable, I will be doing testing with Madam Goya right away and making final comment here about the interaction.
I have made my standard viable Seaforium Bomber, Darkness, Elise deck with Shudderwock already.
I don't care about winning with 1 cost Shudderwocks. I care about making you dread your draw step. How many bombs will go off. When I redraw or replay my Shudderwock (because of Baleful and Zola), it will happen all over again. More bombs. More Dread.
Can I fit the Weasel into the deck? Of course I can. Your choice. Draw the weasel or take damage.
All cards from The Boomsday Project have been revealed! With this comment, I am officially able to close the Augmented Elekk list off as being complete for the time. As there are no new cards from today's reveal that work with the Elekk, there will be nothing new added.
When the expansion is playable (in a week, you heard me right), I will be testing Augmented Elekk as promised with Madam Goya when I get a copy of the Elekk for testing purposes.
As an absolute fan of meme decks I crafted two copies of this card as soon as I could and been having lots of fun with it. I haven't seen any content on the Weasel+elekk combo though and would love some pics or links. I'm sharing some of my own if the op don't mind..

Winning!? Nah dawg *Meme-ing!*!! (but also winning)
You can probably try to see if madam goya shuffles it or puta it in the spot of the card in monster hunt with tokys hero power, since when u draw cards and hero power the order of cards in the deck is the same
The reason this thread exists is to help people on this site view all the options they have so they can consider better their crafting of the Elekk. Makes me wonder if you've ever called a repairman to your house to fix anything when you can just learn to fix it yourself. Resources like this have more purpose than your question.

Come visit my Card Emporium. Strange things, you will find inside...
Come take the test, if you're daring. Feel free to show me your results in a message.

My friend, when playing astronaut as young boy, you shoot for stars hard and play the Dire Frenzy with the Queen Carnassa. Your Tundra Rhino army will be victor when lead by the fearless Weasel Tunneler.

Thanks for making this. Might fiddle around with a new deck or two once I get time for some deck building.

how about just using the search term "shuffle" in the in-game card collection?
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
