Yes, the card is real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdl73nvYjrs
Also, you are assuming the card can't be a jerk.
"So, Here is Swipe, Jade Idol, and and Innervate. Which one is the real card?"

Is it just me or is that card insane? Like, why wouldn't you run 2 in most Priest decks?
Oh, I didn't think of this. Hmm, should be interesting.
Definitely going to have to see it in action or play with it to make any real judgments. Could be pretty strong though if it isn't just a crap shoot to get the card. 3 mana 3/3 that draws a card is kind of nuts.

I was overthinking the text on the card way too much. I thought it was going to show 3 cards in your opponents deck and you guess which card your opponent didn't have in his opening hand. According to Firebat it's 2 cards chosen at random that aren't in the deck and 1 that is in the deck. So once the meta gets figured out it would be easy to tell which 2 cards your opponent isn't running (most of the time)
Text could be more clear.

Pretty sure they mean a card that your opponent actually put in their deck. thoughtsteal requires cards to be in the deck currently but this just means they were selected for the dack, they could have already been drawn and played.
Seems good?
Depends how it all averages out but there's a lot of trashy cards. ESPECIALLY if this also has Neutrals which I would guess it has to, so it doesn't seem very hard to guess what is there. Even in a closer scenario like Raven Idol, Swipe...whatever else, it doesn't sound like Swipe and Raven Idol won't both show up if they're in the deck, so the damn near autoinclude spells showing up make the choice simple.

That is one strange card
New Card:
What?
This is some pure YGO type shit right here.
I love it.
I am curious to the mechanics behind it because if it's just "2 random cards + 1 card that is from the opponent's deck" then on average it's going to be really easy to guess the opponent's deck/card. Which means that in most cases it's a 3 mana 3/3 draw one card which is pretty good.
Start as in their actual deck and nothing was put in the deck like from say Prince Machezaar or Beneath the Grounds.
New Card:
What?
Card is going to suck in the first couple weeks of the expansion, and get pretty good once the meta settles down.

It's a unique enough card that I don't want to declare it OP off the bat without seeing it in action but, assuming you get the card a very high percentage of the time is does seem extraordinarily strong.

It seems like the next set we get is carney games. Darkmoon Faire meets Hearthstone.

Darkmoon Faire would make a ton of sense for Hearthstone.
I think we even thought one of the previous expansions was going to be that.
I was thinking Dominion.
????? Where you getting this info?It seems like the next set we get is carney games. Darkmoon Faire meets Hearthstone.
Priest card is interesting.
Decent 3/3 stats for 3 mana. It's RNG based but with a bit of knowledge you should be able to figure out which card is the one in your opponents deck.
It's nowhere near as strong as discover like the Operative is but having an extra card from your opponents deck is never a bad thing unless it's shield slam.

Sorry it's not real info. Just a thought because of that new card revealed is like a carney game.

I disagree. Totam golem is rotating. This is a 3/3 body that if it draws a card is really good. It's strength would be against control though, as is usual for the thoughtsteal type effect.
3/3 is very playable.
A 3 mana 3/3 with a draw effect is very powerful.
Priest will probably play this card over thoughtsteal

I don't know if anything feels worse than losing on turn 6 after putting up three taunts.

Seems really good. Sounds really fun to try out.
Nice to be a little rewarded for playing an off-meta deck, though sometimes they'll get Swipe and two garbage cards to choose from anyway no matter how crazy your deck is.
So even complete newbs will be able to guess easily if it picks a card they've already played. Also a nice incentive for them to start thinking about opponent's decks instead of just their own.
I can't imagine it being difficult for experienced players very often, though I am curious to see how often it is a hard choice. Flubs with this card in tournaments where decks are known will make for some funny moments.

First time sub-6 win arena run since the change. Of course it was because of pure RNG in the end. I think every time I played that random damage card I got screwed.
edit:
Wow, just drafted a 3 legend deck... first time ever.
Soggoth, wrynn, and elise.
Decent deck too except for lack of weapons. Oh nm, on second look I have gorehowl. Just no FWA.

Yeah its a great card. Especially in Dominion where you have many cards that lets you put specifik cards on the top of your deck

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wish they'd give you monthly rewards for both wild and standard.
This is like the 5th month in a row that I've decided to go rank 5 in both modes (wild tends to go much faster, but I do it for the wins-progression).

if by netdecking you mean playing the essentials sure. The chances of it hitting a tech card are just too unlikely.

It hardly punishes netdecking. By the time they play it, they have a great idea of what you're running anyway. If they fail, then they can figure out what you are running. It's more of a win-win than punished hard.

Welp Gluttonous Ooze is super good against Pirates damn.
Guessing that the "random" cards it shows you will be weighted to favor cards from your opponent's class, and in ranked it will only show cards that are still playable in ranked, possibly even be weighted to favor more recent cards. That would reduce the number of possibilities quite a bit which should make it slightly more interesting at least.
