Has anybody been able to make her work? Or was she overrated.
In my personal experience, the latter seems to be the case. While she does produce tremendous value, and she is very fun, the conditions on her draw seem to be too restrictive to make her viable.
For reference, I am at around ~Rank 3 and have clocked in ~50 games since the expansion launch, and I've seen a Countess Ashmore played in like 1 or 2.
She feels kinda off. Unlike The Curator, the card doesn't really draw what the deck needs. Couple that with high cost and not a taunt, you can't really protect yourself vs difficult matchups.
I've been using Countess Ashmore in this deck and she's been pretty good so far. From my experience with her she's definitely strong, but she was also kinda overhyped. But she has a ton of potential and I wouldn't be surprised if she eventually ended up as a core card in a high tier deck.
It can sort of be compared to pre-nerf Ancient of Lore in which it was a 7 mana 5/5 draw 2 cards. The problem is that drawing to cards is usually better than drawing 3 specific cards most of the time. Add to that the fact that cards power level has increased so much, it just won't see play most of the time. It may eventually, but for now it just doesn't fit in aggro pali or cubelock.
I try to fit her in all classes and my conclusion is she is a Warrior card in disguise only. Because warrior deck want run 4 deathrattle weapon and the class rush package(which is the best rush package) so you just have to throw her in and she will work, without have to force any thing. In other class we have to mix some rush minion in make it very awkward. And lifesteal minion, unless the priest statue, is weak in constructed
Curator was garbage when it first came out after it gets support its fine same with countess and in wild its always great..... cards that tutor certain other cards always great its a fine card
It's a deck that naturally has all three options. I'm still not sure how useful she is in the context of this deck, though. If you're drawing on turn 7 with this deck rather than making a strong tempo play, the game is likely already slipping away.

She just doesn't fit into that many decks.

I predicted that she wouldn't live up to the hype before release.
There just aren't enough good targets for her battlecry.
She WILL be insane eventually, no doubt. Hell, she probably is pretty good in wild already.
She just needs more support.
The card is not weak but is very niche like The Curator, not fit in many decks but make an amazing job when fits.
And, this kind of card don't work very well with low card pool like now, will be a lot easier to use her when we have 6 full expansions in standard.
Don't need to craft now but don't dust if open.

I recently added her to my dragon/egg Hunter:
