Alas, Sketchy Information only works with (4) or less. So unless we're also running Vanndar to make it cheap enough (which sounds terrible), it's not really gonna work.
If you look away during your opponent Warrior's turn for a moment and then see a full board of minions and wondering where they came from, this is why.
As good Defile was, this is much more limited: first and obvious, it's a minion, not a spell, so no boosting it with spell damage. The second is the mana cost, which could limit any combined damage/minions being played to get the chain clear.
The days of Ragnaros the Firelord or The Lich King being played in every deck are long past. You're playing this in Arena because it's a 8/8 for (8) Rusher, not the Honorable Kill.
You are going to ruin somebody's day with this card. Unlike Cult Neophyte, the Mana tax persists until a spell gets played, so outside of Libram Paladin or a deck that runs 0 spells, you are ruining your one of opponent's turns.
Maybe you get lucky and discover a Taunt to summon so that the body is actually relevant, but seems too slow otherwise for the mana cheat.
The Improved Secrets makes Tavish just good enough for non-Face Hunter decks.
Copying Full-Blown Evil seems good, but I'm not sure if that will make this worthwhile to run.
Maybe we also run Spell Damage in Fel Warlock, but otherwise feels too fair to be good.

Probably too low attack to get meaningful trades, and pretty slow to come down.
HOOT. HOOT.
The Owls Phylactery will eat us all!!!
Only sees play as a Rogue card. Don't think other classes play enough cheap things to make it worth playing.
One-sided Minefield AND "Echo"? SIGN ME UP!!!
Maybe you run this in Face Hunter. Maybe.
ALSO, Twisted Worgen is SOBBING in the corner.
Warrior has better options for Weapon tutoring and rush bodies, though might be worthwhile post-rotation.
Not a lot of strong or even good options with this. Not sure Felfire in the Hole! by itself will make it worthwhile.

Way too slow for control purposes.
HOOT. HOOT.
For a more serious review, simply good with Eggs, Korrak is going to be annoyingly powerful, and THE OWLS WILL KILL US ALL OH GOD!!!

Control deck that plays this seems pretty desperate to me.

Maybe gets played in a Non-Demon Seed Handlock deck, just play it on an otherwise dead turn and get a return sometime later in the game.
