Now, the one thing that I wanted to add that would've looked bad for having too much text is that the first time he splits, they become 2 4 4s, then 2 2s, then 1 1s. I was going to have it as an 8 8, but it would've been ridiculously OP being able to kill giants for free. He'd be a really good really slow value card that would be a real pain to deal with but not that threatening going face. The one thing I will say though is that warrior would have a lot of pain dealing with him, because of not being able to use execute or shield slam. That's the 1 problem I see.
But I think the design's really cool and unique and it fits with the lore because of how Y'Shaarj was split into a million pieces.
I would of liked something like (Battlecry: put a copy of an enemy minion on the battlefield and a copy of a card in your opponent's hand in your hand)
Yeah that's the one problem. Maybe make it simply that he stays an 8 8 and just "when this minion takes damage, split into 2 halves with stats rounded up" and it would become just 2 minions that had the stats of half of him. Like if you did 2 damage to him, you'd get 2 4/3s. Everyone can picture it in their heads, but it's super complicated to write down lol.

His text would be: "Whenever Y'Shaarj takes damage, summon a Sha." The Sha's text would be "This minion's Attack and Health are equal to the amount of damage dealt to Y'Shaarj this turn." If you don't know what a Sha is, look it up

yeah I was planning on him splitting into 2 shas, then the shas split into those shapeling things
This minion would be an excellent preemptive blocker against c'thun's battle cry by the way. Like having a grim patron on the board by the way. Which makes me think if you could run this in a deck with whirlwind effects (making use of emperor Thaurissan).
Fun trivia: Isn't it funny how in Hearthstone even powerful entities like the old gods are considered 'minions'? I guess the player has enslaved them all!

Powerful and fit for a 10 mana God
Awesome that design is tons of fun plus I feel as you said it represents the god far better than Blizzards design.
That's way to wordy and complex. I'm biased though.

Wow, I really like your design. It really fits the whole rage unbound theme.
Alas, there's still hope that Blizzard's version is their April's fools joke and they will still produce something similarly awesome.
"Hello. Would you like to destroy some evil today?"
Moved to fan creations.
If you're happy and you know it... well that's good :)
