This card plays a different role than loot hoarder. This card is almost strictly better than loot hoarder in the right deck. In hearthstone there are two main resources: cards and mana; cards like gnomish inventor and loot hoarder trade the benefits of less cards spent for the deficit of more mana spent. When playing a loot hoarder you don't necessarily care what cards you draw with it, just that you played a body that replaces itself in hand. With this new card you get the same benefits with a little extra. For the same recourse usage you now get a little bit of extra value in the fact that now you get a card that trades one resource for another and replaces itself with a specific card in your deck. While this card is less good in a pinch, when playing it on curve it is much better than loot hoarder.
If Quest priest sucks again, can blizzard please move away from quest priest after this expansion? The deck is Tier 3/4 for 4 expansions now. I hope priest starts to get a new direction next expansion with different cards. At least they gave up pushing other bad quests like Warlock.

Well there is only one more expansion with quests in standard.

It has a lot more potential to have high tempo swings with the addition of Reckless Experimenter. I've been wanting to craft the quest solely for the fun of it, and I would like to have all "special" legendary cards (quests, weapons, heroes, and now spells). But with Experimenter on Turn 5 you could then play this guy, a Devilsaur Egg or two, and other powerful deathrattle minions that cost 3 or less. But since Experimenter kills off your discounted minions you can get a 4/6 and two 5/5s for 5 mana if you play Experimenter and two eggs in the one turn. Seems good! Waiting for the cards to be released before I make any crafting choices anytime soon.
Coffin Crasher is a fundementally stronger Cairne the only issue is that their arent that many strong deathrattles outside of like Obsidion statue and Bone Drake so if you wanted value you couldnt play weaker deathrattles which meant you likely didnt have a deathrattle minion in hand for Coffin Crasher to pull. this card ensures that you do.
This card may end up being a very specific tutor card to give redundancy for getting an important Deathrattle in hand. Maybe in a new sort of priest combo deck. But I don’t think we have the right cards in standard yet.
Playable in quest priest as a potentially better loot hoarder. But, I want to believe there is something More special to do with this card. (I also wish that for Vivid Nightmare from Witchwood).
3/5 playable but potential to be very good in the right deck
You can easily build a deck with minimal deathrattles in order to get specific draw to it. This might enable a different type of deck if there is some crazy deathrattle in Standard.
It's like Piper or the Sand dude that searches your deck for a specific thing.
Putting all of these or some of these in a deck will give you the most consistent draws ever. But will that matter and will that give Priest a new deck type outside of quest?
Very good card! Specific-card draw engines are always going to be viable. Any new Priest/Neutral deathrattle that is printed will affect this card until rotation.
Currently, I'm playing a version of Topsy Quest Priest and Dead Ringer is an awesome T2 play, as it draws Dead Ringer, Loot Hoarder, Thalnos, or Test Subject, all key cards.

I like it more than I probably should..

Cute, but deadly artwork
Great card for priest
This will very likely see play. The ability is not that flashy, but remember that consistency is key.
It makes Quest Priest more consistent. It guarantees 2 ticks on your quest counter.
It's a nice way to tutor up Corrupted Healbot to make your OTK consistent.
Bad players whine.
Good players adapt.

It's an ok card, decent in quest priest. This is what you get if you build a deck around this card:
