@HalidirOrveck I don't have a lot of experience with the deck but isn't Hapless Researcher better for that role?

@Krypnyt: Yes, Hapless Researcher would be much better for a Dredge deck, and is way better for a Madness deck (Circular Logic).
Anyway, I love the art.
"OK, just gotta be very careful to not drop too much shiny potion into-" BOOM.
This is okay as a potential combat trick or as a morbid enabler but I don't see it getting much use.

Cycles itself and chump blocks, not to mention some neat tricks in standard. Not a bad card 3/5.

Enable morbid cards. Chump block and draw a card. Fuel for casting skaabs or anything else that requires things to be in your graveyard. This guy may never be a constructed staple, but he's got too many moves to be sitting below a 3 star rating. 3.5/5.

Combo with Noxious Revival + miracle card in the graveyard. Bonus points if that miracle card happens to be Temporal Mastery.
(Obviously you'd need to discard Temporal Mastery somehow...)

This is a pretty solid 9th - 10th pick in limited.
I think the 2 mana "1/1 sac to draw a card" slot should get a slightly more powerful card. Maybe draw when it dies and have a separate ability that allows you to sacrifice it at any time. Would be a bit more like when damage was on the stack. They've already shown that they are willing to print something more powerful than "when this creature dies, draw a card" with Floating-Dream Zubera and Surveilling Sprite.
Thinking about it, that could be a really cool starting point for a cycle of cards with "0: sacrifice this creature". Could make a new mogg fanatic (probably not a goblin to avoid being "strictly better"), new Sakura-Tribe Elder, new Blood Pet, and new... actually I can't think of anything besides Children of Korlis that would work for white. And at that point, the blue one would be way underpowered compared to the others.

Wurmcoil Engine for example. No damage, no lifelink.
