I already posted it in the thread about the card but I absolutely love this card because it appears to be the first card ever that actively combats people spamming tier 1 net decks. The main reason Hearthstone has lost it's magic recently for me is due to the fact that everyone is playing the same decks in the same way and it just feels stale, almost like I'm not playing an actual person but rather just a bot that emotes and BMs.
In theory Curious Glimmerroot gives you a decent body for 3 mana as well as some insight into your opponents deck and a 1/3 chance to draw a good card that your opponent purposefully put there. However in practice it is a 3 mana 3/3 take a copy of a random card from your opponents deck which is insane. It's like a half Thoughtsteal on a 3/3 body at least 80% of the time. Hearthstone is at a point where net decking is so bad that you can tell what deck your opponent is playing and all the cards in that deck just by seeing which hero they picked and if it isn't immediately obvious it will be by turn 3 when this guy comes down.
It isn't as bad as when Secret Pally ruled the meta and you knew which cards they ran and even what turn they were going to be played but this is a brilliant way to indirectly fight netdecking. Imagine if they have 5-10 more cards with this effect and you put them all in the same deck. It would be amazing against tier 1 net decks, average against self tweaked decks (as you can generally guess what cards are good and what you'd put in), and below average against completely unique decks since a 3 mana 3/3 see 3 cards that may be in your opponent's deck kinda sucks. Blizzard has really blown me away with this card and I hope they make more like it so hopefully we can have more variety in the game.
I really liked the design as well. I don't think it will be a paradigm shift like you dream of in this post, but I thought it was a fun and unusual idea.
