First, another update on playing it:

It seems like a good Yogg deck just a good deck even in his absence.

I've actually been thinking about this since the deck was first made - about what makes Yogg-Saron fit in this deck.
For Yogg to work, you generally need
-Few cards in hand, to avoid overmilling. Preferably dropped in a spot where you want ~6 cards.
-Few minions, every additional minion you have out there is an additional target for a damage spell that could have been cast on his minions or his face.
-A bunch of spells
-A way to kill the opponent often if they get to ~4 health (hero power and damage spells in this case)
Yogg hunter satisfies all these conditions, and I'm not sure there's another deck out there that yogg can really shine in like yogg hunter.
Yogg...
... mage doesn't work because mages will often have 4-6 cards when turn 10 comes around, and in general less spells played if they need to emergency play Yogg on curve
... warrior doesn't work because they don't have enough spells and they like to play high cost cards/minions.
... druid doesn't work because you can't (often) live until turn 10 using a spell centric druid deck
And again, as Cotton Hill put it:

Hunter is the only class that wants all of these to happen.
