The main purpose of this card is to pull it off of Galakrond in the mid-late game. You're much more likely to be able to guess what the opponent has in his hand. There's also something to be said for picking the card you WANT rather than the card you think they have. Sometimes it's better to have a chance at a good card than a guarantee of getting a mediocre one.
I think if that's what they intended, though, the card probably should have been a 2/3 or something more reasonable as far as it's stats. I doubt they'll buff it, though.
I think it really is more about the information.
If you play it with the intent of gaining a card from the Battlecry, you are likely to be disappointed.
If you play it because you need to know what's in their hand (or not in their hand), you will often get what you came for.
I'm not saying it's a good card, but that's how I think they intended us to use it.

This card has gotten the epic tag. Yet, there is nothing epic about this card what so ever. 2/3 of all times vanilla cards will be better than thisone. That pretty much says all about this card.
The epic tag in Hearthstone doesn't mean a card has a spectacular effect, or that it's even good.
All it means is that it's probably situational in some way. You can use it for limited effect anytime you want, but to get the most out of it, you need to build your deck around it or get your opponent to play into just the right situation.

Until we know exactly how this one works (what is the pool it's showing you) hard to say if it's good or not. In general, this effect is weaker than we often expect it to be. But, 2-mana, 2/2 bodies that replace themselves are usually playable to some degree.
Apparently, Donais has stated that the cards are exactly one from hand and two from deck that are not in hand.
But it's important to remember that even if you pick wrong, you're still getting valuable information.
I would not often play this on 2. I would usually save it for a point in the game when the information really matters.
