The only decks that could hope to use this would be mill/fatigue decks. Unfortunately neither of those deck types are all that viable competitively.
I would put it in my fatigue warrior as it adds 2 cards to my deck. That being said, I made legend with it this past season, and I think that fatigue warrior is definitely viable in this metagame.
I can just picture the Trolden video of a guy playing her, into the map, into the Golden Monkey, and then into Deathwing after Deathwing after Deathwing.

so the dream would be... Brann Bronzebeard turn 3 into Elise Starseeker turn 4 for a chance for 2 golden monkeys... then again 2/4 for 3 isn't the best and a chillwind yeti is better stat wise

That wouldn't work, the first Golden Monkey would change the second map or monkey into a random legendary.
One thing that I am wondering. If you craft a golden one, you should get a golden Map and from that a golden Golden Monkey. Does the golden golden monkey replace all cards left with golden legendaries?? That might be the new golden legendary to craft if you want one...
I am interested to find out if you would get all golden legendaries from this as well. If this proves to be the combo card I envision then It may be the first golden legendary i craft!

Unless you get another Elise Starseeker from that first golden monkey and then you managed to get it again!
Dang guys your into late game with control and say you have an explosive sheep, bash, or other poor cards left in your deck. This changes the game and might put you over. A 4 mana 6/6 taunt? And now those poor cards that were left in your deck that would have been used early game are new legends? I thino it could definitly be worth the tarde off.
I am also positive about this card. The line between good and bad is very thin and I don't understand why people think this falls in the latter. Also, it's not like the cards you need for this to work with bad in stats - they all have a decent price! The first one being ok with 3/5 stats, the second one being a 2 mana cycle (which ain't that bad!) and the third one an amazing both stat wise and effect wise card. I think this whole thing is underrated which I actually enjoy since I am going to be the first one to go on and prove it's not ;)
1.As a 4 drop it is able to take care of most 4 drop minions ( Piloted Shredder)....
2. Effect is battlecry .....
3. 2 cost Spell it gives you suffle a minions and IS A CARD DRAW...so value not waisted.
4. The main card GOLDEN MONKEY ...you can play at any point you wish ...so if you think your current hand and deck is good agnaist your opponent then just keep it....BUT IF THE CURRENT DECK IS NOT GOOD THEN YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR DECK AND HAND AT ANY TIME
5.New legendaries like Reno Jackson, sir finnely also boardens your heal
6. Legendries in game can take care of each and every other card...Taunt, weapon, etc...
So i think this one is a great card....ONE THING I AM SURE IS THAT THE ONE TO BE BENEFITED MOST WILL BE A NEWCOMER..OR A F2P PLAYER..THEY WILL SURE ENJOY THE GAME MORE NOW.....but also even other can considered to put this one card in their deck ..may be it will find its place eventually...
@jafar: er... that's exactly what I wrote two pages ago, with more arguments. Most of what Cthulhooo wrote above are also answered there. Although obviously the jury is still out since we haven't played it yet, and haven't allowed a month or two for the meta to settle.
Good usage of this card: You opponent have 6 or less healt 5 cards in deck and empty hand . You have 10 cards and 10 healt. You played Elise on 4 turn and map on 14 and get monkey on 20. Xou play it and pray to God to get Mal'Ganis or other legendary who can save you. And then:
Awesome. Now any control class can have a fatigue deck. Play the golden monkey when your opponent is left without a hand and board and proceed to win the game! Too bad map to the golden monkey draws a card, but maybe the brewmasters can help out.
"Big and dangerous guys" like Lorewalker Cho or Nat Pagle? It's not like you only get good legendarys. I think it could be a really fun deck to play, but never competitive. It's just too random.
Guys Blizzard did this on purpose. They are making a new keyword called Discover that lets you find cards that you need. So maybe with new cards that have that keyword we can see some synergy.
i think this is really cool because you shuffle the golden money into your deck your gonna get it around 10 manna so you can play a leg each turn

Obviously a tool for fatigue decks, be interesting to see if it's effective.
Well Met!

Funny card but an all legendary deck is beyond horrible
Its fangs are in your flesh before its hiss leaves your ears.
