There's a good chance we will see Y'Shaarj, the third Old God, revealed this week. We've based this off the official Hearthstone Facebook page getting new artwork put on it featuring Y'Shaarj and then a video going up today speaking of Y'Shaarj's lore.
So, what are you hoping for from the Y'Shaarj reveal?
I'm hoping for another build-around card. It seems like it would make the most sense lore-wise that the Old Gods become build-around-me cards that are incompatible with each other, since they were always at war with each other. Basically something with really good synergy, because those sort of cards are often both fun and viable.
I'm hoping for an Old God that rewards his followers with unlimited back rubs and pudding.
In all seriousness though I feel like I'd just be parroting other people here. Something to build around would be cool, maybe introduce some new keywords. Or maybe something to do with Inspire to give those types of cards more play-time.

On the path to victory, one must be prepared to get a little bit of wiener in their mouth.
The buffed cards with Y'sarg seem to point in a "dark pact for power" sort of theme. So I see it either as a permanent buff for all your cards (like The Mistweaver) or maybe even a hero replacement card like Jarraxus.
Something relational to the sha (and maybe his hearth). Like some kind of new Voltron with an even better animation. If you have 3 or more corrupted minions on the battlefield, destroy them and summon one of 5 random sha creatures and then they come and kick you to the heaven. Something like that
How about this: "At the end of your turn, give your opponent a Sha-card". Sha-cards would be high cost spells that would affect your opponent the same way as Chromaggus's Brood Affliction-spells in BRM encounter. But they should of course have stronger effects, like "Every minion costs (5) more".

I hope that when you play it, it switches your deck with your opponents and vice versa.
I'm expecting something with a very powerful deathrattle effect. I'm not sure what it should be though...

Nice way of creating more hype, Flux ;)

I hope he is a stand alone card that doesn't need ANY OTHER CARDS to work, be it followers or deathrattles to have died or anything else.
I expect a card that you need to build around, and I think it may have to do with spells.

Was anyone able to find the full size artwork of Y'shaarj? The one that appears in the video.
A big body with a Mind Control battlecry effect
I hipe it is something we have never seen before, powerful and unique

Just remember the good times!

Deathrattle: Summon seven sha's.
(I'm kidding, of course), but like others are saying, I'd expect a deathrattle, given his lore.
I don't know anything about WoW lore, so I have no clue on what the card will be like.
Been playing Hearthstone since March 2015. Avid theory crafter and card conceptualizer.
Here's my own take on what I think he should do. Stats and cost are 7/7/7 for thematic reasons.
