With my Luck my choices will be something like: Tirion, Sylvanas or Nzoth against a Nzoth Pala - unless the two random cards cant be cards from the opponents deck.
I have to say I am not really a fan of this card. If you guess wrong than its just a 3 mana 3/3. Its a fun card but I would say that it probably will not be seen in a competitive deck, and this is coming from someone who is usually very optimistic when it comes to new cards.
Edit: Actually reading more into the card, it is not as bad as I first thought because you get 3 cards revealed to you and you have to guess which one is in your opponents deck. So you may even be almost guaranteed to guess right if the options come up as two basic minions and a drakonid operative when playing against a priest. You could also potentially get value out of it if you are playing against an obvious netdeck, well OK then. This card could actually turn out to be a lot better than I first thought. We will have to see.
No becouse you kniw the meta and your oppo deck, even if you dontknow the meta you can guess it easily, eemember that not all cards are good for constructed.
Well, I think this card is pretty great. I'd say for most solid players, you'll get a card 90% of the time this is played and in a world where a 3 mana 3/3 draw a card is a great card, this fills that quite nicely. The only time you even have a chance at not getting a card out of it is when it decides to throw another viable option at you and I feel that's probably going to be pretty rare. The odds of it throwing two viable options at you seems extremely unlikely.
If I'm understanding this card's mechanic correctly, you'll always see one card that is in your opponent's deck and two cards that are not. So if I'm playing against a Jade druid, I'll never see Innervate and Aya Blackpaw in the same set of three because Jade Druid runs both in their deck.
Also, judging by how Curious Glimmerroot is worded, I'm guessing that you can see cards that are already in your opponent's hand and possibly even options that have already been played. It says, guess which one started in your opponent's deck, implying that the correct choice may no longer be in the deck. If you saw your opponent play a Swipe and Swipe is one of your three options, you know Swipe started in your opponent's deck. Easy pick.
It just occured to me another interpretation is it could be like a discover from the entire decklist, but you have a ~10% chance to fail depending on how your opponent mulligans.
the amount of people not even understanding how the card works makes for easy ladder climbs next season. im not surprised blizzard is targeting children as audience.
I think this is a bad card for 2 reasons, first the odd, 1/3 change of having an extra card overwise it's just a 3/3 for 3, and second, do we really want a card that our opponent wanted to have turn 1 ? I don't think so
It's deck, not hand. You have to guess/reason which card of three your opponent put in his deck. It says so on the card.
So many people are making this mistake and I don't get it, the text is clear.
Excellent design! Guessing which card is correct should be super easy by turn 3, but the mechanic is still a very fun spin on what would normally just be a boring thoughtsteal effect. The time it takes to choose a card can also be an indicator for your opponent as to what you might have got. For example if you are playing against Control Warrior and see Shield Block, then that's an easy choice, but what if your choices were Harrison Jones vs. Ysera? From you taking a longer time to choose, your opponent could guess that you just got a card that is not in every Control Warrior deck.
Power level wise it's good but not amazing. Against many decks you run a high risk of getting fairly useless cards, as has always been the case with Thoughtsteal, and it doesn't have deathrattle so it will probably not be preferred by N'Zoth Priest over Shifting Shade. Decks that normally would have run Thoughtsteal will probably pick this instead though, since it's a better compromise between tempo and value.

Screw that! I'm running this AND Thoughtsteal just to tilt every non-Jade Control player.

This card has insane value of meme.

This looks awesome and fun.
This is how to punish netdeckers!

People have missed the point of/misread this card entirely.
THis is essential a 3 mana 3/3 add a card from your opponents deck.
I can't see many occasions when you can't guess what was in their deck.
good card in my opinion

Remember playing Control Shaman with Reincarnate shenanigans? No? It was fun, here's a refresher!

In a thief/spell priest deck that doesn't go for the quest, sure. More the merrier.
In a quest deck, no.
In a dragon deck (should they still somewhat exist), probably not.
In a highlander deck ... maybe.
In arena, the other choices either sucked or you like gambling.
In a purify deck, not really.
In a Randuin Wrynn deck, HELL YES, you're already crazy for doing so. Shine on.
In a hypothetical tempo priest deck (maybe it's possible in Un'Goro), eh, whatevs.
The mechanic is awesome, as long as you won't get to choose from two garbage cards and for example Ragnaros, every single time.
I'd rather see a card that rewards you for building a weird deck, than punish the opponent for not.
Like "Discover two cards that are not in your deck. Your opponent guesses which card was in your deck. You get the discovered cards if he fails."
Still very cool though and I'd love to see more cards that reward players for being creative.
drakanoid operative all over again
Easily my favourite card out of Un'goro along with Elise. Love love love the design.
One thing is for sure, this card won't be very reliable in arena.
