If you get Carnival Clown with Prismatic Lens, you can corrupt it with a card more expensive than the new cost. This means you can set your deck up with low cost spells and corrupt a clown easily, for that sweet 28 power. Try it out!

Y'Shaarj is to get extra clowns in the event of a board wipe. You can cut him, no problem.

I've been running a more refined version of this on ladder lately (thanks for the idea, by the way). I cut the Muster for Battle in my build, as that way the clown will always cost 0-2 mana as long as you don't lowroll by drawing one lens with the other. I also threw in Competitive Spirit as a way to buff the clown board for a surprise lethal. I've found the deck to work better without Y'shaarj, as it's built around the lens highroll. I also recommend adding another Rebuke to jam board clears on the combo turn, as well as Oh My Yogg! for a backup boardwipe jammer.
Lastly, I want to mention one particularly strong innovation I've found with the deck; Sword of Justice. It buffs 5 of your clowns on the combo turn, and will always corrupt a 0-2 mana clown (and being a weapon, prismatic lens can't draw it and make a clown cost 3). This leads to a particularly strong curve with turn 4 lens into a turn 5 weapon and a full board of clowns. I recommend running it alongside the angling rods you've already got, giving you four weapons that will always corrupt a clown.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the concept. It feels pretty broken at diamond 3, and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the new default prismatic lens combo.

And...what if you draw YSharaaj instead?? Then you will not even have a card to corrupt the clowns...at all!!

You have to draw Carnival Clown with Prismatic Lens. It reduces the cost of the clown, so you can corrupt it with one of the other cards in the deck. You will basically never corrupt Clown fairly, only when it's reduced to a low cost with Prismatic Lens.
If you do get Y'Shaarj with Lens, you can just play it as a 10/10; I've won a few games that way.
