After a second thought, I cannot see this as a balanced card.

If it draws from your deck, it is simply broken. It enables constant t3 immorushes; that's how good it is.

If it adds totally random cards then it is fringe unplayable. Due to the totally random cards added, only rainbow decks can benefit from this. But a rainbow deck, exactly because it being rainbow, needs a very well defined set of cards to operate. This card won't help with that. You may get lucky with a few cards, but most of the time you would be better off by playing another copy of *insert any given rainbow card here* in place of the shard.
Yeah, if it draws from deck, and the way I read it, it doesn't, it would indeed be totally broken.  I'm definitely going to try it in my rainbow deck once it comes out, because it looks very promising.  Even if you get 3 mediocre cards, that's still 3 cards for the price of 1, and I'm all about card advantage :D  Even if it doesn't turn out to be very good, it is -definitely- by far and away the most fun of the shards, since it's a different package of 3 random cards every time you play it.

Yeah, pretty much :)  Fate Egg is also a fun card.  I don't think anyone would say that it's overpowered, though.  This shard is much nicer than fate egg, though, because you get 3 tries to get something useful, whereas fate egg gets 1, and if you get something crappy, well tough.

meh, wasnt a fan of it in the competition, not much has changed.  its not the worst card ever, but it probably will be one of the less useful cards.

I tried this card in my speedbow, although incredibly fun, I can't really say it's OP because of the randomness of the cards, great card!

And that, I think is probably exactly how it should be for this card.  It trades off having one known card in your deck for 3 unknown ones, and you're gambling that those random cards will be better than including a specific card in your deck.

I still can't get over how fun this card is going to be.  Imagine playing it as a last ditch effort to get an answer to live... and popping nova+purify against poison stall or something.  Sure, it's unlikely, but you'd be like  ;D ;D ;D if you ever got that.
