I wonder if wizards knew what they were doing in printing this. Ina a graveyard deck this is a draw four for U, functionally.

@DaLucaray: Actually, in a good Dredge deck it's more like draw twenty for U.

Well, that's kind of an exaggeration. It's only a "draw twenty" if you happen to have four Stinkweed Imps in your graveyard.

Not really. Just start with a Golgari Grave-Troll replacing the first draw, you'll probably dredge into more dredgers to get back with the second draw, etc. If you've ever watched Legacy Dredge resolve this spell, you'd know that Grave-troll into Thug into Stinkweed into Grave-Troll, then ditch all (or all but one) is actually a pretty common way for this card to play out.

And with that, Breakthrough just got an awesome new artwork and modern card frame.

I initially even thought they actually made this (and all the other nondraft-related Conspiracy cards) Standard and Modern legal because it currently says so on the Set&Legality tab :P
