This card invoked a little dialog on my head::
Who rule Barter-town?

Master-Blaster! Master-Blaster rule Barter-Town!
Ok, so the card isn't that great, but I'll try to contribute.... how about:
Tattermunge Duo + Djinn Illuminatus + Pact of the Titan? Aw, heck, add Fling for good measure.
I admit it, I posted entirely for the movie quote, but you knew that already.
Here was a new Card
Fossil Find R/G
Sorcery Uncommon
Return a card at random from your graveyard to your hand, then reorder your graveyard as you choose.
It looks like it has potential, i mean it's like gamble, but it can potentially loop, since it effects the grave...
maybe it can go in some combo, get back a random ritual?
I'm pretty sure it's just incidental to the way most people would choose to determine which card they randomly retrieved from the graveyard- means nobody gets a judge called on them for violating game rules if they use this thing in standard, etc. Graveyard orders is annoying and they've said in the past that they want to steer clear of it if at all possible. The fact that this card potentially has use in older formats that contain such cards is just a nice bonus.
No they specifically said you may rearrange the order because they don't want graveyard order to matter. They want people to be able to shuffle their gy, pick a random card, and then put the cards back without having to worry about violating graveyard order for interactions with older cards such as phyrexian furnace.
Oh and the card is terrbile. It's like gamble if gamble got you a random card from your deck. You can't play this in the same deck with fetch lands, and unlike gamble where you have a large chance of getting the card you want, with this you have a small chance of getting the card you want.
what about it being a singleton in some combo decks..unless the deck runs fetches or land grant then the Fossil find will always grab you a relevant card (Disruption, Ritual, Tutor)

Players can't gain life.
Damage can't be prevented.
All damage is dealt as if its source had wither. (Damage is dealt in the form of -1/-1 counters)
Coolest card I've seen in a long while. There's a Johnnygasm hidden somewhere, too.
Also:
Elsewhere Flask http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/images/smilies/mana2.gif

When Elsewhere Flask comes into play, draw a card.
Sacrifice Elsewhere Flask: Lands you control become the basic land type of your choice in addition to their other types until end of turn.
Now this is a decent Blood Moon answer for decks with horrible manabases. It can be cast with a Moon in play, you aren't wasting a card on it, then you pop it when you draw the appropriate removal spell.
Marked, and /agreed. At 2{rb}, it looks like it would fit well into Dragon Stompy, but I'm not sure they have a lot of use for it.
What I wonder, is if Red Death could use it at all. I mean, does wither actually replace the damage? Because if it does, it would keep Negator from triggering. Of course, it would also make it smaller, so maybe not. This card might generate an entirely new approach to B/R Sui.
The card see MASSIVE play in multiplayer decks everywhere.
But in legacy, it's at best a sideboard card for random aggro decks. I mean what matchup exactly do you want this thing bad enough that you would devote card space and 3 mana to it, Life? Yeah, that deck sees a lot of play.
Actually, you need 5 swamps for that. The combo works with any creature that taps for net 3 mana or more -- it's probably easier to work with Priest of Titania, Krosan Restorer, or Viridian Joiner. It's a good bit easier than the 5 mana required to combo out using Staff of Domination. Even then, minimum 6 mana for a finish isn't unreasonable for legacy.
