I think this card is verry difficult to evaluate. It has decent stats and the monkey has insane stats. The cantrip is fair costed. If a Battlecry deck is a thing after this set this might be an include since its a win condition.
Not necessarily actually. You see you can draw the first map and get a monkey, but the second map/monkey is still in the deck. So you could have 2 golden monkeys.

The biggest reason it's horrible is it having no early game. Not the same.
This card doesn't keep you from having good early game. You usually won't actually find the Golden Monkey until around turn 18 so you can have a normal deck until then.
"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.
It will be indeed random, but you're presenting the absolute worst case scenario out of all possible outcomes. And you forgot Hemet...
By the way, I specifically mentioned why you don't want to see your control warrior Alex, Grom, Ysera etc. be converted to something else, and what it will be done decks-design wise to change that. Besides, I think many people just forget about the fun factor, or even the value of the single player games. I always loved spending time solving the puzzles of the previous adventures, and fully expect to do so in the future.
First look to the card i said: OMG!!!11! this is so op, i can have a legendary deck
2 after: Wait a sec, i need to draw a card shuffled on my deck, then that card shuffle another card in my deck and i need to draw it? Wat! That not worth it
Way too slow to be the "main attraction" in a deck, obviously if someone were to put it in their deck, be focused on something else. Such as Totem Shaman, or Dragon Priest, Control Warrior, anything you want. If you are losing horribly but can still comeback with this card by all means do so, who knows - maybe it'll add deathwing or alexstrasza. :P
Also, you need major card draw for this to work quickly enough to use it at all. I say use it in rogue decks with double sprint, 2 Gnomish Inventors, coldlight oracles. Then again, you'd mill yourself dry, because what if you have 3 cards left in the deck? 3 cards would get changed, it won't refill your deck. Then it would be op.
you guys always forget hearthstone is for fun. yes you can play competitively with some decks, but casual is to play with some of the cards and make a deck with them and have fun. that's what many people forget about hearthstone.
elitemage23 made a awesome deck for this card so it's worth trying when Elise comes out
If I analyze the cards, I think about how good they're on ladder/to reach legend. I agree that it's extremely fun to play! The whole adventure is awesome in terms of fun! I am sure you can build a lot crazy decks and its extremely fun.

But the full legendary deck is horrible, so you have a delay to get a horrible deck?

No, it's because you can't make any tempo plays because you have no spells. You'd get overrun by any deck even at turn 10

Great card.

I have no idea how this will fit into any deck that requires synergy.
A deck filled with Legendaries is not exactly a good deck, which makes the Monkey's battlecry actually a downside.
Nobody wants a deck filled with cards like Nat Pagle, Old Murk Eye, Lorewalker Cho, Neptulon, Millhouse etc.
The fact is that there are more useless legendaries than useful ones.
