Choose a card to draw is pretty strong but this costs 6 mana and doesn't provide any immediate board impact. You need some other synergy to work with this and Ticket Master provides that support. Getting a bunch of Plush Bears on the board at once can be a very strong play but you won't get that choice all the time. There are cheaper options for tutoring cards (Stowaway/Lorekeeper Polkelt). Ultimately, what puts this card in check is the high cost vs low impact. It would be pretty insane in any of the Control classes and that's why this is a Rogue card.
An interesting combo card, clearly for drawing many shuffled in cards, but maybe the ability to tutor up both copies of a card from your deck is good enough on its own.
Not likely to see competitive play, but definitely worth experimenting with.
Obviously insane with Freeze. I can see this aiding a huge Freeze mage reassurance, and maybe eventually leading to the Frost Nova HoF that I believe has been due for a while.
Sounds good on paper, but historically all rogue's value 6-drops were too slow to ever be relevant except for Heistbaron Togwaggle, but its effect was consistently strong and worked well with preparation and galakrond, so I'm not convinced yet.
Am I blind or why don't I see the usefulness? Let's presume I have 5 super powerful Minions in my deck. So unless I have an all spell deck I'm not guaranteed to get those 5 copies.
You also end up drawing 6 other cards too because of how the Casts when drawn keyword works. I'm not sure what happens if one of those draws draws a teddy bear before Shek'zara draws it, so 6 might just be an upper limit, but that's a pretty good turn no matter how many you draw.
Well it’s a Mage card that synergizes with secrets so the 3 mana secret into this is a likely curve. And the lower cost makes it more likely to get an early big tempo play from this than the Substitute

Seems pretty good. The backfire potential with this card is going to be hilarious with steal rogue and priest plus Yogg mage summoning this into play at the worst time possible. A lot of players are going to be milling cards or drawing extra fatigue. This looks like a small nerf to all Yogg type cards. Really well designed card.

With Occult Conjurer released not progging this secret got a lot more dangerous.

So you could theoretically draw all your Shadow, from Shadow of Death, to summon 3-6 Ragnaros the Firelord in one turn? That's one hell of a deck intro MarkMcKz!
Double Emperor Thaurissan proc needed, and depending on the enemy board, it's not guaranteed lethal, but fun deck anyways.
Oh wait, this was just a card reveal, ok card, fun for combos, not much can be said really.

This will be annoying card. Togwaggle's Scheme is still in standard.

1) It's not guaranteed which card you hit
2) Stowaway is better imo

Seems pretty strong. At worst it's "choose a card to draw" which definitely doesn't sound too bad. There's no way this doesn't see play, right?
Grand Empress Shek'zara
Also highroll with 6x Plush Bear

Seems ok, maybe to try tutor something in miracle style deck.
