One thing that I don't get about Curious Glimmerroot is that if against, why can't we see the cards they got to choose from?
If the player is unsuccessfull in picking the right card, why can't we see the 3 cards which he got to choose from? It would be a lot funnier to see how the opponent managed to fail such a task.
And if the opponent picks the correct card, we should see which cards that were the fake ones.
If you managed to understand my terrible english, let me know.
Was going to make a topic about this for the last couple days, but it kinda fits in here, so I see if it gets any responses.
Now exactly does Glimmerroot work? Is the correct answer any card that was in the actual draw + mulligan + first card draw? (In other words, any card you had in hand before your first card was played)
The reason I ask is, I have had several times where my opponent got a "correct" guess that was not in what I consider my opening hand. (the 3-4 cards I hold after the mulligan). Specifically last night, I had a priest get a Voidlord from me. I know, for 100% fact, it was draw, and then tossed in the mulligan, and wasn't draw again until much later.

It can pull any card from your decklist. It doesn't matter where the card is; in your hand, in your deck, on the board or dead. As long as it's a card that you put in your list when you push "done" in deckbuilder, it can be pulled
When I play Curious Glimmerroot, I just pick the card I need. Otherwise, it'll be dead anyway. So there is nothing fun from watching me "fail" such a task...
It would be possible to show the choices for sure, but this would actually nerf the card. From seeing what your opponent's illusion cards were, YOU now know that YOUR OPPONENT now knows that you DON'T have these cards in your deck.
Sure, this is no big deal most of the time, but can impact the game in some scenarios. For instance, when it comes to secret shenanigans. Imagine playing hunter against a priest who plays Cuirous Glimmerroot, and one of the illusions is Explosive Trap. So your opponent knows that you are definitely not running that card.
As it is: You don't know about that, and you might play your Snake Trap while your opponent has a bunch of 2 health minions, basically bluffing an Explosive Trap. The priest knows that it is a bluff, and can go face (well, unlikely as priest, but whatever. There are better examples for sure).
If you instead knew what your opponent's illusions have been, you'd know that the bluff won't have any chance to succeed and probably would play something else.

Lol, what? How is gaining cards a disadvantage? Why would you purposefully choose the wrong card - for example, if you're playing vs tempo mage and pick Flamestrike instead of Fireball?
The OP talks like everyone plays the same netdecks where we know the exact decklists; but Glimmerroot's cards might (RNG of course) become harder to guess if you're, say, playing in a tournament with a couple of odd tech choices or changes to the popular decklists...I've had players guess wrong when playing against me and I was playing for example 1x Bonemare in Quest Warrior; they probably had that and some taunts or something more "normal" as choices.

In some matchups, lets say Control Warrior vs Control Priest, you might not want a shield slam since you can't use it or a shield block since the game might go to fatigue. There are some matchups where you don't want -1 handsize so you intentionally pick the wrong card from Glimmerroot.
I always get excited when I'm playing a weird deck and my opponent plays a Glimmeroot, and I also get curious when he misses. It would be a fun change, but I don't think it would be consistent unless you showed the three cards always.

What?
It shows one card that's from your 30 starting cards in your deck. This excludes cards you get from Prince Malchezaar or cards put into your deck later.
"Started in your opponents deck" = the 30 cards the opponent started with.
The mulligans are not relevant to this.
Ahh hell ... I feel like an idiot. (In my defense ... I really never have played much Priest)
For some reason, I always thought the card was "guess which card was in your opponent's hand",not deck.
My old timers disease must be progressing :-)

thanks for clearing this up. only just started playing priest, and I love this card (although didn't fully understand it)
I need to get a 2nd one crafted though as they seem like a great card.

Glimmeroot only shows class cards, so not bonemare.

I'm so sick of keyboard warriors who make contradictory assertions without even bothering to perform a 5 second google search. Show me a screenshot of a neutral* card as an option at rank 10 or better and I'll paypal you $100.
I don't really get why people are playing Curious Glimmerroot over Kabal Courier. Sure, it has 1 attack and 1 health more, but you often either get nothing or a card you really don't need. With Kabal Courier on the other hand you can actually choose between the 3 cards, so usually at least 1 of them is good, if not super good.
Of course you can get a game winning card from your opponents deck, but Kabal Courier can give it to you too.

How about a link from a game designer? And the wiki link YOU provided says "
If the opponent's deck started with no class cards in the deck, a neutral card is shown from the deck together with two other neutral cards from outside the deck.[3]"

I think definitelynotsalty's "rank 10 or better" qualification was to ensure that your opponents are playing at least three class cards in their decks, so you're very unlikely to see neutral cards in the pick.
