It says "Karn Liberated" and there was the book "The Search for Karn" and the many cards hinting that Karn was remembering who he was(Distant Memories), and all the other hints(video calling him the Savior). So am I right in assuming that he is Mirran?

I agree its a bit overhyped in that you're not likely to see T2 decks running 4 Karn's. However, he is a fantastic tool for Eldrazi ramp decks, Valakut, Compliment to venser...you can go on. It's a very fun card and should have some slots in decks in the future.
But yes you should have more field control in your deck and not crutch on getting Karn out. Especially in response to turn 2 Glistener elf deadliness.

For everyone who has requested Karn come with flavor text, I have the perfect flavor text for you.
Picture Karn. Imagine Karn has the voice of Michael Clarke Duncan. Are you ready?

Karn - He lifts things up and he puts them down. Also he restarts the game.

This card is way overhyped, and will drop in price. Why? Because while he is undeniably powerful, he also paints an ENORMOUS crosshair on his forehead the instant he enters the battlefield. The only time he's going to survive is when you already have board advantage, and if that's the case, why would you want to restart the game? You have board advantage. He doesn't have a huge effect on game state in most situations. In MOST cases, he's going to be either a very expensive vindicate, or a very expensive discard then MAYBE vindicate if your opponent doesn't kill him off right away. Watch for his price to drop. A lot.

Even if you don't get to pull off his ultimate (shouldnt be too hard to do. You can do it in as little as 2 turns.), just the simple act of forcing them to exile cards and keeping them exiled is pretty awesome.
I think also not many people would be using things like Hex Parasiteor Beast Within on him so much as they would on Jace. At least not at first.

Infinite game {7}
Tribal Enchantment — Eldrazi
At the beginning of each upkeep, restart the game, and put this onto the battlefield.
This is the game that never ends...

Easily the most badass Planeswalker yet. Even more badass than Nicol Bolas.
Man, I wish Karn and Bolas would slug it out.
