Interesting idea, it kinda shows they are willing to experiment with unusual, "fun" mechanics, but the execution is absolutely terrible. lol
Like, 90% of the time you're getting the right card, so why not just make this Priest's own Aldor/Ghoul? A 3-mana 3/3 with a 1-mana spell attached (Mind Vision). Not that they're in need of another 3-drop, they already have Talonpriest and lots of cards that do the same.
I'm not looking forward to priest having more of this kind of mechanic, it honestly feels better placed in rogue, taking cards from your opponent and using their own tools against them. I hope more new archetypes other than "gaining cards from your opponents deck" pop up for priest this expansion...
I hope for exactly the opposite: Rogue doesn't need a worse version of a Priest gimmick that was already there at the launch of the game. Despite that, I agree that Priest (and obviously Rogue aswell) needs new archetypes besides Dragon and... well, you get it.
Oh comon... steal cards out of the oponents deck is NOT A FUN MECHANIK!
This is carddraw attached to a proactive boddy. On ranked steal chance should be around 100%. So its basically a 3 mana shifting shade but better since its battlecry.
Talon priest+this so 3 drop space for priest is maxed out. but the problem is more the 2 drop.
This could be a little trickier than you might think. If your opponent plays a card that was Discovered or Added (think Prince Malchezaar or Undercity Huckster) rather than a card that was part of your adversary's original deck you could be victimized by misinformation.
And of course, you would never draft this in Arena. In fact, this should automatically be one of the cards Blizzard bans.

Nah. Even without the effect, it's still a 3/3 for 3... that has a 33% chance to draw a card. In reality, that chance is STILL much higher, since you can generally gauge what your opponent would have picked.
This is an awesome design, and opens up an intriguing area of design space. It's a mechanic that rewards players for playing creative, non-meta decks. If your deck is out of the ordinary and your opponent plays this against you, they'll be less likely to benefit from it.
The fact that it also rewards players for studying the meta is icing on the cake.
This, right here, is why I LOVE this card. It adds a huge layer to this game going forward.

Thank you! Everyone is saying how this is such a bad card, but this is one of those cards that truly separates the pro's from the noobs. It has potential to be a great card for players who know the meta, and worse case scenario you get JeBaited into a 3 mana 3/3

nope it says : started in the deck
Discovers and hucksters etc will not be in the poll. Malchezar could actually be in there since youll start with the legendarys in your deck but nobody plays him on high ranked so thats hardly relevant.

You entirely missed the point. Every time your opponent plays a card the theoretical likelihood of your guessing correctly increases because you've seen one more card that started out in the original deck. Unless they've added cards from other sources. Let's take Firebat's example from the video. Your Druid adversary Discovers a card on Turn One from Raven Idol. On Turn Four your opponent plays Bite. On Turn Five you play Curious Glimmerroot and you're given three choices: Angry Chicken, Swipe and Bite. You know it's more likely that the enemy deck started out with Swipe but you've seen your opponent play Bite that may or may not have been the card Discovered earlier. Does that sway your decision?
LOL, made me immediately think of this iconic line from one of my favorite movies:
"Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it. You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"
Its ironic that this card is a plant type since I'm pretty certain another "plant" was involved when they were thinking up this design.
if this card dont show on main page i actually think this is fan made card :O
new mechanic and so weird

Where shall I start...

If this card become meta I would want to put a random bad card in a friendly match just to troll.
