This card looks interesting but I don’t know how to play it efficiently. For example:
1/ Do we keep Illucia in mulligan?
2/ When to play the card in each popular matchup (Animal Druid, Pure Paly, Tempo Mage, mirror matchup)?

Usually keep Illucia in mulligan. Against Aggro or Tempo decks you can effectively skip their turn when played early.
If you draw Illucia later in the game, against Mage you’ll want to play her the turn before you think their combo is ready.
I don’t imagine she’d be much help against Druid since they’re able to ramp for their big cards, so you’d only delay their swings for one turn.
Pure Paly you can can play her early to skip a turn, or late after a Liadrin to steal their Librams of Wisdom.
Not sure about the mirror, but you definitely don’t want the other Priest to play their Illucia first.

In Wild, its awesome against quest mage and other combo wombo decks.
Dont keep in mulligan unless you are against warlock or mage as both those heroes are known combo players.
Vs Animal Druid I like to play it semi early and get rid of their 0 cost ramp cards.
Pure pure paly there is no real time to play it. You could try to coin it turn 1 if you have no 2 drop play to try and steal their first day of school.
Tempo mage play it before turn 7 as that is a combo turn with 1 apprentice or turn 9 with 2 apprentice. If you hit 1 apprentice game is over and you can empty their hand.
Vs quest warlock play it at 10 mana but sooner if they about to complete quest and clear out soulfires and other combo pieces.
Mirror is incredibly complicated I have no idea.

One play in the Mirror is to play it directly after they kronx and then play their galakrond (assuming they don’t draw him naturally and you have the mana).

In the mirror you can play it when you have a bunch of removal and nothing on your side of the board. Then you take their hand and use their galakrond kel thuzad zephyrs etc.
