Compare to Prince Malchezaar. That at least had decent statlines, gave you not one but 5 Legendaries, and made them available from the start of the game. It was still never played in constructed. Random legendaries (in your hand or on the board) are generally bad because there is no synergy with your deck. And, on average, they are simply not great on their own either.
This will not see play in constructed.
Reasons to not play Malchezaar:
Because random legendaries are bad
Because diluting your deck with 5 random cards is bad
Reasons you'll play Face Collector:
Random legendaries in your deck is bad
Random legendaries in your hand isn't bad
Random legendaries in your hand may not be bad, but the tempo loss you'll most likely receive from playing them is bad. Not to mention the tempo loss you are already getting on the turns you are playing this card.
In a different sense this card reminds me a lot of Sneed's. They are both way too slow.
it's a 3mana cost card which adds a 2/2 body on board, and gives you a legendary minion, it is a better card than pickpocket coz 9/10 the pickpocket only fetches spells. It's also a nice card for tess + shadowstep.
As a thief rogue user, this card + tess won me many many games
I mostly cast this on turn 6 for the echo. Sometimes on turn 3 for board presence
^in my 100+ games with this face collector, i still didnt get an ozruk.
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
"Random Legendary" is far too weak, even if he would have a decent body. He fetches Ozruk way too much
Try playing the card before judging guys lol

I had to check to be sure. You are mostly correct, you ARE more likely to get a spell, but the exact numbers in Standard are:
275 class spells
253 class minions
52% chance to get a spell
48% chance to get a minion
Certainly not 9/10 times though.
