I'm no dredgemage, but this seems really good?
Interesting yes but not good enough for a deck that has very few flex slots.
As you need dudes in play to cast stuff from your graveyard they seem kinda redundant.
Getting meat to sac is the harder struggle and none of them are cast so I suppose you want Amalgam over this.
Amalgam triggers once at the end of turn. This triggers every time. It can be used to pay for it's own trigger condition. It triggers on any spell, so anything with flashback. Anything that exiles and copies (so rebound). It is a much stronger card than amalgam. Plus its color weight is 2C instead of 1CC
It is almost certainly going to be run in Dredge in some number. I think it will also be run in Madness decks as well. For Dredge, LED --> flashback Faithless Looting will bring this into play. For Madness, Faithless Looting --> Walla and this.
While I see that point, it heavily depends on the context.
Thinking about manaless dredge, only Gaak, Therapy and Dread Return trigger it.
All of them require you to already have creatures in play to do something.
For comparison, Amalgam triggers from:
- Narcomoeba
- Nether Shadow
- Ichorid
- Hogaak
- Dread Return
Moeba, Shadow and Ichorid don't require dudes on the field.
It really depends on the problem you're building around.
Do you need more dudes fast or do you need initial meat to get going?
There might me more of a use case in LED dredge with flashback draw spells but those are also tight on slots.
Maybe there is a combo somewhere.
I was thinking it would work with Food Chain, but that deck doesn't need this at all.
Who wants to Tinker for Griselbrand?
OK, I know, I was joking. But, still would be funny.
This card seems almost there for Legacy, but probably not.

Before any other synergies or build-around, that card gives you a 3/3 just for cracking a fetch.
What else?

It’s slow, but maybe there’s a deck with a sufficiently high density of payoffs to make it work. Reminds me of Titania, Protector of Argoth. It risks being clunky, but the upside is that the right deck gains an overwhelming army of tokens as a reward for just living life. A 3cc enchantment isn’t super easy to remove, either.
I think part of why I can’t build a good Legacy deck is that I find it hard to say no to cards like this.
Did Oghma make it?
This seems like a very powerful effect, getting around countermagic, plus most decks tend to board out Wastelands versus Reanimator. However, I am not sure it is worth the entering tapped and high mana cost to activate.

I doubt either of them will find legacy play, but...
Seems like it has potential in something dredge-like.Canoptek Scarab Swarm 4
Artifact Creature — Insect
Flying
Feeder Mandibles — When Canoptek Scarab Swarm enters the battlefield, exile target player’s graveyard. For each artifact or land card exiled this way, create a 1/1 colorless Insect artifact creature token with flying.
1/1
Can do Necrotic Ooze style combos with, e.g. Phyrexian Devourer and Walking Ballista, but Ooze is going to be better a lot of the time, or it's just bad reanimator.Trazyn the Infinitea 4BB
Legendary Artifact Creature — Necron
Deathtouch
Prismatic Gallery — As long as Trazyn the Infinitea is on the battlefield, it has all activated abilities of all artifact cards in your graveyard.
The Archaeovist of the Solemnace Galleries will not rest until every treasure in the galaxy is safely within his clutches.
4/6
I'm curious about:
The fantasy is dropping it on turn 2 off Ignoble Hierarch and then generating incremental ramp plus value. On the other hand, the P/T is pretty low for a 3 cost creature by today's standards.Atalan Jackal 1RG
Creature — Human Tyranid Scout
Trample, haste
Skilled Outrider — Whenever Atalan Jackal deals combat damage to a player, you may search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.
2/2

Scarab swarm seems mostly worse than Wurm Harvest, which is already only viable against the slowest of control shells.
