I assume the final reward takes a permanent spot on your board. I've said on some other questlines that they have weaker rewards but are easier to complete. This one looks pretty easy to complete, and the reward looks very powerful.
If the power was “draw from your deck”, you’d get whatever the card is, and it wouldn’t matter whether she was golden. But as I read the power, she basically eats the card, then her deathrattle creates a new copy of the card in your hand—so I think it would follow the rule of “golden cards generate golden cards”.
Also, if you trigger her deathrattle early (e.g. with Feign Death) I think you’d get all her stored cards then, and then get those cards *again* when she dies?
This will probably never give you more than 6 armor, and probably be killed before that more times than not. Maybe it will be just barely worth it for 3 armor.
6 health for 3 mana is quite chunky. I guess you could play this T3, and then small beasts like Wolpertinger on T4 to start snowballing. Or maybe you could use this + Animated Broomstick + Rats of Extraordinary Size to regain the board for 10 mana? Maybe even throw in an Devouring Swarm, so you get 3/3 Rats?
New Neutral Minion - Nobleman
Bad card for constructed, but value card for Arena or Duels. Somehow I feel the art does not fit well into HS though.

New Warrior Minion - Remote-Controlled Golem
I could imagine that should get at least two triggers off of this on average, which would mean 4 Tokens. That seems quite solid to me.
If only it weren't for the poor interaction those have with N'Zoth, God of the Deep. That, at least for the moment, kills this card.
New Warrior Minion - Stormwind Freebooter
Decent but also underwhelming, there are plenty of better Pirate options out there. OK when discovered I guess.

New Warrior Minion - Harbor Scamp
Warrior's version of Investment Opportunity, except with a 2/2 body, and is also the type of card it draws.
New Priest Weapon - Shadowcloth Needle
Auto include in the new Shadow Priest archetype. I will definitely take this weapon for a spin on launch day.
New Warrior Minion - Stormwind Freebooter
Seems decent. Sort of like rush, except your hero takes the damage. Not really sure what else to say about this one.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
You can't miss this fin.
New Hunter Spell - Devouring Swarm
This is good. Great with boars.
New Hunter Minion - Stormwind Piper
Awkward and slow.
New Neutral Minion - Mailbox Dancer
The trick is never let him die. EZ.
New Warrior Minion - Cargo Guard
This will probably never give you more than 6 armor, and probably be killed before that more times than not. Maybe it will be just barely worth it for 3 armor.
New Priest Weapon - Shadowcloth Needle
Shadow Priest: deal damage, fool!
New Neutral Minion - Mailbox Dancer
Funny how the hosts of the Angry Chicken podcast could remenisce about this card and hearing their experiences in the past in WoW. Loved that episode.

New Hunter Spell - Aimed Shot
Insane. I should temper my expectations, but I'm just seeing a great card here.
New Priest Spell - Shard of the Naaru
More Silence for Priest and discoverable by Wandmaker too. Priest will be hated by even more players now (if that was possible).
New Warrior Minion - Cowardly Grunt
Probably not that great. Kind of expensive, and vulnerable to transform or silence.
New Neutral Minion - Spice Bread Baker
Will be annoying to play against.
New Neutral Minion - Royal Librarian
Yeah. Run this and the weapon destruction over cards that actually make your deck good.
New Shaman Minion - Granite Forgeborn
Chillwind Yeti on steroids, this goes into every elemental deck out there. 5/5 stars
New Priest Spell - Shard of the Naaru
Oh good! Now Priests get this in their deck without running it in their decks (thanks Wandmaker).
New Priest Spell - Shard of the Naaru
All priest should run a 1 off at least. Almost no down side. Really nice.
New Shaman Minion - Granite Forgeborn
Wow. Now elemental Shaman needs more late game draw to keep up with puking out cheapened elementals.
