Free card draw. They could've removed the Telepathy effect and it would still see play.

Yo dog I heard you like tired memes, so I put a tired meme in this tired meme, so you could enjoy a tired meme while you're enjoyin' this tired meme.
Seriously though, potentially free and off-color card draw is very nice, will see play in standard, great blue hope for pyromancer's ascension, etc.

With Street Wraith and Manamorphose, you can manage a "48" card deck...

Still new to the game, but I do not understand why this guy isn't rated higher. Being able to see what your opponent can do/plans to do for zero mana? I understand that the point of the game is to kill the other guy's life total, and this doesn't directly contribute to that, but how does this not find a place in every deck?

@PolskiSuzeren - being able to see your opponent's hand is actually really helpful to quite a few decks. Some don't care, but more reactive decks love knowing what's coming. And being able to know whether your opponent has a counter in their hand - and how many, if they do - makes it a lot easier to know when to play your bombs.
It's not a useful ability for all decks, but there's far more than you apparently think that can make use of the information. A lot also depends on who's playing - a skilled player will get more value out of knowing what's next than a newer one.

This card is broken, and I will attempt to explain why.
I cannot think of a single reason why I would not play one of these in every deck I own. It isn't even there, it replaces itself and doesn't effect your mana curve at all. That is insane. Honestly, for one mana and a cantrip that is an incredibly powerful effect, but being able to play it for free is absolutely off the wall incredible. It allows green red and white to experience a very powerful effect with having to splash and without having to sacrifice card advantage or space. In control decks, this card is absolutely nuts, especially against other control decks. allowing yourself to run 56 cards whilst seeing vital information all at the expense of resources enemy control decks care very little about is an incredible advantage and this is just about my favorite card from the set. I will be playing one in every single deck I own.
