This might be fine. While it was never particularly strong, handbuff was always viable and this is one of the more powerful handbuff cards to be printed.
"Stop learning Calculus from teachers. Don't use Calculus as Isaac Newton made it, figure it out yourself, learn yourself, don't kill your brain by mindlessly following what other people have written down."
Extreme example, but people learn from something. It's not exactly a sin to watch and learn from better people. It's a fallacy that true learning is purely done by yourself. Use your resources. Study smart.
I was going to lay into the OP, but this honestly sums up my thoughts perfectly already. Being intelligent is working smarter not harder. Learning is a huge part of gaining knowledge and comes from both experience and the experiences of others. One of the biggest advantages that humans have is the ability to teach and learn from others. This has only become easier with the advent of the internet and is not some kind of "poison." If you like to discover things on your own, that's fine. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone taking a different and much more efficient route to success.
The only deck that wants this effect is Zoo and if Vulgar Homunculus isn't good enough to convince you not to play Prince Keleseth then neither is this. This might even be a good card but unfortunately, because of Keleseth, it won't see play.
But having this and homunculus together could be enough incentive not to play Keleseth
Just don't forget it's legendary and that means you can run just one copy. The chance that aggro will draw this card is very low so even if it's playable there's a really low chance that this card will ever have some huge inpact on deck's performance.
Also isn't it a bit too casual effect for a legendary card ? This card just yells lazy design to me.
From a design aspect, this is very clean and promotes higher skill in any aggro or zoo Warlock, so it isn't lazy at all.
This is stupid amounts of completely and utterly broken. Who said that this was ok? For 1 mana, you get 3 cards in zoolock! If discard comes back at all, this card doesn't even have a drawback.
This is broken in some matchups and downright useless in others. Hemet seems like a natural fit, but beyond that, I have no clue what a Mecha'thun deck would look like.
Not sure I understand why this card isn't getting serious hype. This is a strictly better violet teacher in Shaman and with the right overload cards, this could be a deck defining powerhouse.
Without the overload, this is too good. 2 1/1s for 1 mana has been meta a number of times and with rush in a class like shaman it would be way too strong.
I'm torn on this one. From a value standpoint, this is atrocious. In a vacuum, this card just doesn't stack up to other classes 4 stats for 1 mana cards. However, it is incredibly flexible and if a Shaman deck ever runs flametongue and direwolf, this gets a whole lot better.
I really love the high skill cap on this card too. Not that a high skill cap makes it any better, but could be good for the game to have a card like this in the meta.

This is one is a can't miss card. It is potentially strong in three different classes and enables a lot of interesting interactions.

How did this make it past testing? Even just cycling with Lyra feels strong.

Bomb chip zoo seems like a really intriguing archetype. I hope there is a critical mass of these kinds of careds.

Since this is swap and not recruit, does she go back into your deck?

Thunderhead makes this more interesting. I'm sensing a token Shaman.

It's pretty mediocre on its own merits, but there's actually quite a bit you can do with it. This could see play. I wouldn't bet on it though.
