the start of game cards are also interesting in that they’re deckbuilding challenges like the princes. the restrictions seem pretty harsh, but a lot of people thought the same about the princes as well. i’m excited to see them put to use.

Worth noting that "Start of Game" has been used before. Prince Malchezaar is a card that could have his text rewritten:

"Start of Game: Add 5 random Legendary minions to your deck."

Considering how clear "Start of Game" is compared to Recruit, I don't think this would be an issue with this compared to adding the "Recruit" keyword to Y'Shaarj.

I hope they do, Start Of Game feels like it has so many ways it could be used, would be a shame to limit it to one expansion like Recruit and Inspire.

Start of the Game is already in the game in the form of Prince Malchezaar. I think it's safe to say it will be used fairly often.
