Is this card overpriced now? I think if you I could just replace one combat with a terror icon, this card would look a lot better to me. Regardless, this card is all about the ability, and it seems really good to me. Orchestrating the top of your deck became much more relevant toward the end of CoC's run, and a single Elder Thing could do it multiple times each game if you have some self-bouncing shenanigans like Mists of Lethe or recursion like Claude Owen.
I always preferred the kind of recursion that puts cards back in your hand rather than on the deck, but even still, replaying a couple of your best cards is always nice.
But I don't think the price is right, it just doesn't have the icons for a 4 cost and the ability while okay doesn't justify it. I would note that Yog is traditionally a little light on Combat icons, so they have probably erred on the upper side to hold consistent with that. I think I would usually rather play The Large Man, or find a nice 3-cost card.
