With the Lich King gone, I dont see why I wouldnt include her in any control deck ever. Especially since the game is less ‘cancerous’ right now (for me) she might find a spot.
Lich King didn't take up your entire turn on turn 10.
Lich King could decide games in a fatigue war.
There aren't any direct comparisons to what Lich King would do, but if you're looking to gain advantage in the control v control matchup, Elysianna is most likely better, and if you're looking to gain advantage in the control v aggro/midrange matchup, there are probably better options than Ysera.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
Ysera was one of my first crafts when I just started. No she doesn't always make it in your control deck, but I have personally used her more than other safe classic crafts like Harrison Jones and Bloodmage Thalnos.
And I don't entirely agree with the Archivist Elysiana comparison, especially when it comes to the card's function. Ysera can win you games before you get into fatigue. I have already played her in several decks this season. Certainly has won me more games than elysiana, because every time it mattered, my opponent had elysiana too and I won/ lost purely on RNG.
Not to mention, Ysera fits in multiple decks that elysiana definitely does not fit in right now: Big paladin, ramp druid (don't knock it until you've tried it) and dragon anything.
Ysera fits in many decks and her 12 health makes her survive more trades than The Lich King would... and i would say the Dream cards are WAY better than getting a full hand of Army of the Dead and Doom Pact. Don´t get me wrong The Lich King was amazing and i miss him already just because of the Value he can generate while having a taunt tag... but for control decks i like Ysera way more.

I guess this one is pretty correct.
Ysera is a great card, she is a wincondition and I also think that her cards are better on average than the lich king's. But she is just very slow. Her body is no threat and she can't protect your face. It feels to me that she is always nearly viable just by this tiny little bit not.
Although when I want Dragon Synergy and a big lategame minion, I prefer her over the other dragons. But that is very rarely the case.
Doubt it, most decks i see are either aggro or control warrior, which doesnt need y'sera really unless its a mirror match. But might work on dragon warrior if it ever sees play again.
I see Ysera as a dont dust card. She is just not good enough for the top tier decks, but good in budget decks if you need to use another big minion. But do not craft her

My Golden Ysera is my pride and joy. She goes in every Control Deck I've ever made. Safe craft for sure.

Garrosh did nothing wrong.

Also, Lich King wasn’t an autoinclude in a Control or Midrange deck either.
He was only seen if he had synergy with something else. ( Mainly resurrecting effects like Priests spellstone, or Druids Hadronox.)
I play her in both my Duel paladin deck and control big shaman deck.
