Quote from wtk300 >>

Even when you know your opponent won't play N'Zoth this game, that knowledge is pretty useless. You might use Twisting Nether more liberal and that's it. So even in the best case scenario it's not that great.

(and again, the chance that he won't play N'Zoth is the same whether you play Gnomeferatu or not, you only gain small chance to know it)

You seem to not understand that playing this card doesn't decrease the chance for your opponent to draw any specific card.

Knowledge about any specific card in your opponent hand/deck is only useful if you can make different play because of it. People are obsessed with exact probability of drawing a card. it's useless too unless it can change your play. Twisting Nether example is the best case scenario that most players won't benefit from anyway (they would play Twisting the first time they think it's a good play anyway)

The reason why this card is good:

The worst case, it's just a 2/3 and you burn a random card. But this won't make you lose the game.

On the other hand, if you burn a specific, needed combo card, maybe an Auctioneer when your opponent was waiting for this top deck with a full hand of spells, then you just win the game. Even if the chance for this to happen is like 3%, it's still possible.

but since this card is warlock only, we won't see it much anyway i guess

If only the death hero character will be good.

whishful thinking.

 The reason it won't see much play is because the upside is almost non-existent.

 I wish this was a rogue card.  Bouncing this a million different times would be fun, well, for me.  

Lets say you play 100 games against a deck with 5 very important cards. If your opponent draws fewer of them during a game they have significantly lower chance of winning.

On average games go for 14 turns. Your opponent draws 20 cards including 3.33 important ones on average.

Now imagine you play 100 more games, but this time you put Gnomeferatu into your deck. Let's say you play one Gnomeferatu each game. How many important cards will your opponent draw on average after 20 drawn cards? It was 3.33 when you wasn't playing Gnomeferatu  and it's 3.33 per game when you do play it every game. It's not even 1% less, it's exactly the same (unless your opponent goes to fatigue, and he/she doesn't because you play warlock).

Everyone ripping this card, except those who are for some reason butt hurt about it, will play this and laugh their tails every time it works out positively.  Also, the rage this will cause will be awesome.

I don't know about standard, but people are underestimating this one in wild.

I can see a deck in wild running 2 Deathlord, 2 Dirty rat and 2 of these with a bunch of removal, being annoying as hell

MTG has a 60 card deck minimum, with up to 4 of each card, a 7 card starting hand, and almost half of you deck is mana crystals.

 This is incorrect and I don't know why people keep saying it. How is it not a downside if you burn a random card? Every time your opponent burns a random card they go one stop closer to that "needed combo card", such as an Auctioneer.

You could burn their Auctioneer or you could push them one turn closer to it, in fact the latter is more likely.
