I love we are getting hybrid outside of companion.
While they are unrelated flavor and lore-wise I like how M20, Eldraine, Theros and Ikoria all kinda feel like a set since all the themes and mechanics do cross over and work together well.

This is just ridiculous. Like if it cost 2BG, I'd still think it was pushed. Certainly any sacrifice theme, graveyard theme, enters the battlefield ability theme, or creature-based combo EDH deck that can run this will absolutely need to have it. But because of its ridiculously low mana cost, I'm pretty sure this is going to be an all star in other formats too. Can easily just be a Tarmagoyf in terms of p/t efficiency for cost.
In Modern Mono-Green Devotion and other decks that can pump out huge amounts of mana and have enough creatures, this can tutor for fatties like Primeval Titan.
Want a playset, don't want to pay the $120 to $160 for it.

I only took a quick glance at the art and casting cost and fully expected this to be a Quillspike variant that interacted with keyword counters instead of -1/-1 counters.
I managed to test this in Yawgmoth Combo against Modern Jund last night. Obviously, Fiend Artisan dies to anything from Abrupt Decay to even Wrenn and Six (W6's -1 was the fate of many a Turn 2 Fiend Artisan), but dodging Bolt in the midgame is quite swell, so is eventually outsizing Goyf, this guy tutoring for more copies of itself is quite good and wins games, and being a 2-drop is awesome when it comes to other cards tutoring for it.

You're looking at what happens when Lin Sivvi gets drunk with a Lhurgoyf in a Birthing Pod.
