It doesn't pull cards from your deck, just puts a new card into your hand. (Source)

Blizzard at gamescom 2014
Once again, Blizzard will be in Cologne, Germany at gamescom 2014. No schedule has been announced yet but they promise we will see it in the coming weeks. Hopefully there's some fun Hearthstone stuff planned! Are you going to be going?
Quote from BlizzardBlizzard Entertainment will once again be at the world’s biggest games convention this summer – gamescom 2014, which takes place August 13-17 in Cologne, Germany. We’d love to see you there to join in all the fun!
We’ve got our biggest ever booth, all sorts of entertainment throughout the four public days of the event, and four great games for you to come and play. You can try out World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition on PS4, and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft.
On our stage we’ll have live music, our world-famous dance and costume contests, regular quizzes and other competitions with awesome prizes, and more. We’ll have more information on how to participate in the costume contest very soon, but for now, you can already start designing, crafting, and sewing your magnificent Blizzard-inspired outfit!
We’re also planning a glorious gallery on our booth bringing you both official and fan-created artwork in this, the year of World of Warcraft’s tenth anniversary, so get ready to submit your own creations.
In the coming weeks, we’ll bring you a complete schedule of all the fun and games that will take place on the Blizzard booth during gamescom. You can find out more about the convention itself here.
I can't wait to play Webspinners, Maybe even an deck full of them mwhahahahah.
Oh damn this cards are soo good think about the decks u gonna make with this cards I well say shaman deck with nerubian egg + baron revindare when u put this cards at the board destroy nerubian egg with the reincarnat soo u can have 2 nerubian and the egg back to life soo u can have 4 nerubian or 8 if u have another reincarnat
Webspinner will be spurned in constructed but played in arena for the time being. In 6 to 18 months someone will figure out how to use it in constructed. This is my prediction.
I've compiled a list of cards you can draw with this, sorted by mana cost:
1 mana:
Timber Wolf
Webspinner
Angry Chicken
Hungry Crab
Stonetusk Boar
Young Dragonhawk
2 mana:
Scavenging Hyena
Starving Buzzard
Bloodfen Raptor
Captain's Parrot
Dire Wolf Alpha
Ironbeak Owl
River Crocolisk
3 mana:
Emperor Cobra
Ironfur Grizzly
Silverback Patriarch
King Mukla
Jungle Panther
4 mana:
Oasis Snapjaw
5 mana:
Tundra Rhino
Stranglethorn Tiger
Stampeding Kodo
6 mana:
Savannah Highmane
The Beast
7 mana:
Core Hound
8 mana:
Nothing.
9 mana:
King Krush
10 mana:
Nothing.
Seeing as there are currently 26 beasts, the chances of getting a specific one is ~3.85%.
I've already included Webspinner into this list, I think I got everything. Not sure if the beasts from Animal Companion/Snake Trap/Savannah Highmane deathrattle etc. are possible to be drawn.
Edit: Seems to be collectables only, missed that part.
Thanks for the list!
I don't think it's such a bad thing that most beasts are low mana cost. I could see some great combos with Tundra Rhino, with or without Scavenging Hyena and/or Starving Buzzard for some extra magic. I can picture some gnarly plays that remind me of the original UtH.
Also I don't think drawing Captain's Parrot is all bad if you run Captain Greenskin.
It's a coin flip to get monster that is 3 mana or more.
You deserve every upvote for that list!
I love random cards like this, same with Mindgames! Not sure if it will be viable for ranking up the ladder, but I'll definitely be using two of these in my deck just to mess with people their minds.
looks very nice!
The card should say "Deathrattle: Create a random Beast and put it into your hand."
Brode specifically stated that wording confused playtesters, which is why I added the Create bit at the start, which seems obvious that the card isn't coming from the deck. Using the word draw makes it seem like the card is coming from the deck.
I demand generating an infinite chain of webspinners!
chain them when they spawn in the enemy knife juggler kills them and another one spawns!
the fact it generates a new card, rather than pulling from your deck, technically give the hunter deck 31 or 32 cards, if you have 1 or 2 webspinners, or you could see it as like getting 2 1/1 for free in addition to your 30 cards and your hero power, with the chance of drawing a legendary you may not even have in your collection (king crush or the beast), and if it draws with rng like thoughtsteal tends to have...opponents could be in a world of hurt..... is it just me or does this card give hunters wayyyyy to much rng potential....
I am getting more and more happy that I main a Shaman Cast Control deck. Earth Shock will be amazing in Naxx!
Blizzard needs to work on consistent language. The word DRAW connotes pulling cards from your deck. It doesn't connote randomly creating a card from the ether.
I'm guessing they're currently getting a lot of messages like this and will act accordingly soon. To be fair this is pretty much a new mechanic (not counting ETC or Ysera).
Looks fun and not metagame warping. It's a neat design, although it feels weird seeing it at common.
I think the most interesting part is how, assuming they keep it updated, this minion's effectiveness will vary as they release new beasts. No matter how good or bad it is at launch, it might surprise us later.
For now, even if it's too unreliable for constructed, I think it'll make an interesting Arena pick.
No auto win. You simply draw a card to your hand, them do not appear on the field. Correct me if i am wrong.
Too random for constructed. There is no place for a 1/1 card that draws a beasts that isn't from your deck.
