What people probably don't realize about this card is that it is very good in priest.
Priest has life gain so it can generate value by getting a weapon, which it currently doesn't have access to. And getting an Aldor Peacekeeper or Humility is just broken with cabal shadowpriest

You are right but Priest has to steal it first. Hearthpwn can't display the faction symbols on the cards atm because all faction cards look like neutral ones but this on is the hunter/warrior/paladin faction.
This is probably the best of the discover cards. Since Jeweled Scarab was used a bit I wouldn't undervalue this card. It doesn't look amazing but there may be much potential in it.

Who can take your trash out? Stomp it down for you? Shake the plastic bag and do the twisty thingy, too?

Oh, is it playable in these classes only? It looks like a neutral.
I didn't watch the stream since I was at an event.

Yes there are 3 factions now. So there are now class, cards, neutral cards and those factions. Only "members" of those factions can use the faction cards. Hunter/Paladin/Warrior are one of those factions (and this card is part of it). The other ones are Mage/Priest/Warlock and Rogue/Shaman/Druid. I read somewhere on Hearthpwn that they will soon add the fitting icon on those faction cards to make it easier to identify them.

This might be the best of these new discover cards. It's low cost, gives you a lot of options from strong minions and spells, and can help you set up some good combos later in the game.
Interesting card, but oddly enough, the worst of the three "discover" tri-class cards. The main reason is; it's a Novice Engineer, that doesn't draw from your deck. And the classes you draw from really don't give you that much of a better edge than your own. In this case, I believe Scarab is still more appealing.
Apart from the usual Tirion chance, the best option would be a Bow for Secret Paladins. Yeah. You don't play this in secret paladin.
Grade: C-
You keep thinking of Tirion but I'm just not looking forward to a Hunter or Paladin with Execute.
It's considerable in N'zoth pally because both hunter and warrior have good single target removal which pally lacks for a control class and it has some potential for hunter deathrattles as well as health/armor gain.
Everyone telling that it is too weak in stats. Is it better to improve the stats, play a 2 mana 3 attack minion and outplaying your opponent by simply having the curve every time? Like you have to be realistic. This card is a midrange to controlish card
you forget jeweled scarab was considered good and played in constructed
But Jeweled Scarab only lets you choose 3-drops that are neutral or from your own class. It's much more consistent and less random.
But as you said, Jeweled scarab can give you neutral cards that significantly lowers the power of the card. And getting a 3 drop is perfect when you play this turn 2, when you topdeck it late game you might not be happy with it, that's always a 5 mana 3 drop with free 1/1, not so great.
Grimestreet informant seems clearly better to me. You don't need consistency with discover effect, since discover itself is a consistent mechanic. You need versatility and power. 3 random class cards from 3 different classes is way more versatile and stronger than 3 random 3 drops, sometimes 3 garbage neutral crap.
But you're forgetting that neutral cards can always be played by any class whereas class cards are often terrible and useless because they're anti-synergistic and simply don't work with other classes.
I view Grimestreet Informant as the second best of the tri-class discover cards. The problem with this particular version is that it has a LOT of competition. At 2 mana, we have Jeweled Scarab, Gnomish Inventor and the reigning champion Loot Hoarder. The benefit is Discover is more flexible than straight up draw but the randomness is less reliable. Rogues may play this card to get more cross class cards but then it competes with Undercity Huckster for that role and that card's already been proven. Not sure if it'd be worth playing both.
The main reason I view this as second best, better than Lotus Agents, is because with such a low mana cost and that it's a discover, late game this card can be very impactful and really help swing the game with the remaining mana. Probably more so than Jeweled Scarab could since you're restricted to 3 cost cards and will get neutrals thrown in the mix. Still, I'm not sure this card is good enough to see play in constructed.
Unless there is something that makes those tricards better (lowering its manacost/or doubble their battlecry) it simply wont be resistant enough for top ladder decks.

Jeweled Scarab stats? what more can I say...
Just playable (If you want a gimmick discover deck)

you discover 3 cards, one of each class, there's no way you can discover 3 paladins class cards or 3 hunter class
So of course warriors get the cheapest discover card.
This might be the best of these new discover cards. It's low cost, gives you a lot of options from strong minions and spells, and can help you set up some good combos later in the game.
It was said during the reveal that a card from each of the three classes would be given to choose for the discover.
The terrible stats really aren't justified for such a random effect.

Just remember the good times!
Anyone know why some sites have a different statline and manacost for this card?
I already see this in Pirate Warrior deck, like it's not strong enough. Hey, let me give this Kor'kron a divine shield...
