At first I was going to comment on how uninspired this is, seeming to just be a reprint of Curious Glimmerroot. However, someone pointed out in one of the articles that this is actually a slightly worse battlecry, as the card has to specifically be in the opponent's hand, whereas Glimmerroot's just had to start in the deck - meaning that Envoy can easily show you 3 cards that actually started in the deck, only 1 of which is actually in the hand (though that does provide some potentially useful information if it shows you that they do or don't have a sweeper or something in their hand).
It's a 2 mana 2/2 potentially psuedo-draw, so it's far from awful - but right now I have no idea what kind of priest deck would want such a 'general value' sort of card in it. That said, Galakrond control could definitely be a thing (and I think it will), which would make this card a decent inclusion.
It is a TECH card versus in-hand effects, people!! Let's say Dragodin gets out of control with handbuff stuff: this card will be substantially better than a 2/2: draw a card. It becomes a 2/2: add a broken card to your hand (with some luck). It can also get Galakronds that your opponent is still working on which if on second tier is a hot deal. Cards will appear with upgrades too so always the right choice.
On one hand it's not amazing, but it's also not terrible. Considering Priest Galakrond a 2 mana 2/2 get a card from your opponent's hand isn't a bad card to generate.
I think the card is pretty good. The main problem with it is this card does not fit in any currently played Priest archetype. However, if we get new Priest decks come the expansion, it may find a place in the meta.
I voted Playable mainly because I just don't believe it's 'bad' whatsoever. Even if it doesn't see play in the immediate upcoming meta, there's a chance it will see play in future expansions where the meta is forced to change. However, I think it'll find a place come this expansion. With Galakrond hitting the scene as well as a bunch of dragons and dragon synergy, copying cards from your opponent's hand may become more relevant than it currently is. We'll just have to wait and see.
Not bad at all, you can also know which card the opponent has, 2/2 with value ok It's a shame that it was epic, I would like to play thief Priest but because the minions of this effect have to be epic that's why I like Drakonid Operative
Now people don't believe in this card and for right reasons.
To be fair, all those cards that saw hype were decent, it's just that priest has harped on the "only big stuff can die so my Rez pool is better" strategy so long they never stood a chance.
The bottom line is if priest can find a non dragon control wincon in this expansion or the next, madam and this will be run, and will be very strong. We're just not there quite yet.
I like this type of cards, I play Chameleos, Lazul and Glimmerroot in my Reno priest deck. Though there are a few problems with this guy, it is 2 mana cost, but I play Keleseth in my deck, also it is not a dragon and it is the worst card of this type. Also, I'm not a fan on non-dragon minions for priest in this expansion. I mean, I like and play priest because of dragons, but I'm afraid of priest not getting good dragons this expansion.
With Galakrond I think Talanji will be used a lot more, and this card as well as Luzul or Chameleos work with Talanji as well. Still needs more synergy to work, but I think this could be a very decent card depending on what else comes in this set.

Why does it need to be non-dragon?
And priest got Galakarond. Which gives them a board clear which only affects the enemy board, and is an amazing value generator. (Let's remember how strong Deathstalker Rexxar wound up being, and that was in a far less control-oriented class)
if this card would not get a copy but remove the card from opponents hand it would be way better. but like this it is not really that good since you cannot easily guess what card your opponent plays.

Chameleos didn't see play.. Was overhyped
Madam lazul dint see play... Was overhyped..

Madame Lazul just doesn't fit into any current priest decks, she's not a bad card.

You seriously can't spot a difference between this card and Lazul ?

It looks fun... moderately playable for a slot filler. But not blowing my pants off.

Recycled mechanics...
Pretty much Curious Glimmerroot 2.0, but I'll probably try it out in a standard thief priest deck just for the memes.
Edit: Turns out the incorrect choices are cards in your opponent's deck which makes this kinda trash since it will be difficult to guess correctly.

If you play Lazul first, you already have some knowledge of opponent's hand, and getting value out of this card might be easier.

Galakrond is worse than Rexxar though, he is even worse than Anduin.
if this card would not get a copy but remove the card from opponents hand it would be way better. but like this it is not really that good since you cannot easily guess what card your opponent plays.
