I like the concept behind these guessing games - it adds to the general skill cap and requires an understanding of the meta. For some reason, these haven't taken off yet, but I remain hopeful.
In my opinion it's a strong card. You don't only get to know what your opponent has in his hand (if it is more or less obvious what deck he plays), but also see, what he doesn't have in his hand. Sadly, just as you all mentioned, Madame Lazul is as strong, but not used :(
I'm bearish on this card after madum lazul flopped, I know curious glimmerroot saw play, but I feel like that brand of priest needs a much different meta or more supporting cards to work.
Right now there isn't really a control priest that has strong finishing capabilities like the days of death knights when curious glimmerroot was seeing play.
Member Curious Glimmerroot? It's basically a copy of it but with a small twist, you need to guess a card in your opponents hand. You don't quite see you opponents hand except 1 card which isnt that good and it's unlikely that card you get will be useful. It's not that amazing but it may see play in some control galakrond priest
Obvious comparisons to Curious Glimmerroot, my guess is that it will also pool the same way - only showing class cards and having to guess. If that is the case it will not be any more difficult to guess than Glimmerroot as it should be pretty obvious once you know the meta.
Very good card, being 2 mana and giving hand information makes this card better than Glimmerroot.

I want this card to be good because it seems fun, but it seems too hard to pull off compared to Glimmeroot. Nice that it works super well with Lazul though.
2 mana 2/2 that gives intel & pseudo draws you a card is incredible. Hopefully a more midrange style of Priest returns that can use this, doesn't fit at all in the current metagame builds.
I'm biased for this due to my likings of information cards, this is similar to the previous Ungoro epic. Likewise, guessing should be easy later on as decklists begin to become more concrete
It's a good card that fits on curve on a Thief Priest with Galakrond and Princess Talanji. It's usefulness will depend from which pool of cards you have to guess. I suppose it's from you opponents deck, that's what would make most sense.

Great knowledge gained from playing this

seems really bad. and if my opponent have nothing in hands?

Curious Glimmerroot was really good in Arena, so I guess this will almost as good.
The artwork is from Mindbender Ghur'sha from wow's dungeon Throne of Tides. Really interesting to seeing him here.
This will be completely useless in arena, but in ladder, when the metas are settled, can be useful. Then again, will the cards be useful for priest?

Like Curious Glimmerroot obviously, with the bonus of some intel about what is in your opponent's hand. Looks useful.
Well, I would assume you auto include this in every Priest deck, unless you are playing a very specific combo deck that can't afford a slot for it.
I'm not so sure. There are other options at 2 mana worth considering, like Acidic Swamp Ooze, Doomsayer, Bloodmage Thalnos, Auchenai Phantasm, Belligerent Gnome, Holy Ripple etc. Those are a bit situational, but so is Envoy, since whether the card you copied (assuming you can guess it reliably) is useful will depend on the matchup and luck.
Fortune Telling Priest meta incoming.

Balanced card with potential card draw.
Will se play for sure if control priest becomes a thing.

It's a pretty good card overall, value town for priest! 4/5
