This is what Barnes should of been, i.e., a meme card that isn't stupid broken. People will find a way to have fun with this, but it's too costly to enable Barnes-like shenanigans.
I mean...this card gets you thinking, thats for sure. Fun card. :) I´ll guess that it will not be that good, 8 mana is kind of slow. But on the other hand, Malygos is 9 mana anyway, so playing this and getting Malygos is pretty much just better than drawing Malygos, right? But in practice I think it is hard to make cards like this work, the deck building restriction is pretty difficult...
Turn 10, Malygos + shuffle X copies of Malygos with Togwaggle Scheme. Opponent has to kill Malygos.
Next turn play this card, have 2 Malygos in your hand.
Scenario 2)
Shuffle X numbers of Pog hopper on your deck. Draw them. GG. Jade Druid.
Scenario 3)
Hypothetically you haven't drawn both of your Malygos+Velen in Priest. Draw them at 1 mana cost +3 mana Vivid Nightmare + Mind Blast.
Scenario 4)
Just play Shudderwock shaman with Baleful Banker for UNLIMITED shudderwocks
Well some of them will not even be tier 4 decks I am sure, but I will personally try all of them(and some other scenarios I have thought but not expressed here in order to avoid creating a wall of text)
In my opinion, this works a lot like Zerek's Cloning Gallery, where if you’ve already drawn your combo pieces this gets notably worse. However, this being NEUTRAL and also working well with Battlecries gives this a whole new dimension of versatility. Like others have said, I can’t see exactly where right now, but this will go *somewhere* (much like Mecha'thun when it was revealed).

Oh no. This is exactly the type of card that will exploit some shit OTK mechanics. Noooo :((( Expansion looks good so far but this one could be a problem.
Yeah, when everyone was claiming that Mecha-thun is bad or not playable. Then the good deckbuilders out there not only proved everyone wrong, they built multiple decks in different classes to prove all of the haters wrong.
A 10 mana I literally win the game is a card that should always be watched out for.
This card allows you to draw your combo pieces and play them on the cheap. if you draw your combo pieces before playing this, that is also fine.
People seem to think that if you draw your combo minions before drawing this, you lose? Do you even know how the Mecha'thun decks work? The idea is to draw your combo pieces and then win with them.
This card is highly abusive and will find a way to work. We dont even have all the cards released yet. Mecha'thun is not going away. Malygos is also here to stay.

It's also worse than Gallery, in that yes it cheated out minions to enable same turn OTK, but Priest didn't care if they'd already drawn them, due to the multiple resurrect effects available. Jepetto won't exist in a meta where resurrect effects are available.*

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
Finally. 4 malygoses + any spells that you didnt use as removal.
Well if you're able to spend 3 full late game turns doing nothing and you're opponent didn't even played a vanilla 8/8 to beat you in the meantime I guess you kinda deserve to win that game...
This card doesn't seem very reliable at the moment.
i have no idea why blizzard even prints this kind of cards
I have one: to scam either who buy their shit and who save all their gold to open packs when a new expansion comes out. Cuz that's the shit you're most likely gonna find first.
Just play Shudderwock shaman with Baleful Banker for UNLIMITED shudderwocks
i m sorry, but you can't, You need 2 Shudderwocks on the board for shaffle another into your deck. And Baker cost 2 mana, and Shudder 9, you just can't do this combo without coin.
I do think someone will probably work an OTK out of this, but I think more importantly people are really overlooking that this is probably just a good card in shaman.
10/10 Card for Trolden.
My current mage deck (wild,reno,otk,highlander)
My current hunter deck (wild,reno,highlander)

Every salty hearthstone player
this having 44% meta defining is a troll i hope?
for 8 mana this is absolutely terrible and will see 0 play.

This feels like it has to be broken somewhere.
Heck, even in just a late game Shaman deck, imagine drawing Swampqueen or Shudderwock off of this.

There is a MEME potential right there unless you draw them before Jepetto, which will always be the case :D
Where shall I start...

Blizzard: "We dislike non interactive otk decks that's why we are not printing any more minions with charge"
Also Blizzard: " Ayyyy LMAO here's another way to cheat Malygos and Velen into play for (practically) no cost!
It Should have been turn your hero into Sponge Bob squarepants ! Battlecry : summon squidward !

Wow, this card is insanely strong, especially in classes like priest and rogue. Meta-defining for sure! :O
i m sorry, but you can't, You need 2 Shudderwocks on the board for shaffle another into your deck. And Baker cost 2 mana, and Shudder 9, you just can't do this combo without coin.
This card sucks when you summon a random 8 drop.
They took my trophies....

so bad , 8 mana 6 6 do nothing yikes
