G, Sacrifice a creature: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card. Put that card into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Survival of the Fittest was my first thought too. Having to sac a creature is definitely a bigger cost, but can certainly work with recursive dudes like Bloodghast.
Any shot at the name?

This is quite impressive. Must get 4 of This. Goes great in a token deck with 1 creature you really want to find. Time to build around this. Should be fun to sack one of those token thopters with this.
Powerful-ish card. -1 CA, but it is a sac engine, and blanks all removal. In fact, this could see play because it blanks all removal and finds a replacement.
This could be pretty nice if you also have a way to make tokens. In G/B with bloodghast it could also be good. However, the creature you get is random so I'm sure just how good it can be.

I don't think comparing it to Survival is completely right, as the sacrifice text is important. The sac'd creature is not shuffled back, so with Bloodsoaked Champion or some other recurring creature it can be a card drawing engine. Even if you were to get something like an Elvish Mystic, you can just cast it and sac it to repeat the cycle. There are so many little tricks you can do with sacrificing, which makes me believe this will be a Tier 1 Standard card.

Yeah that's actually a good point. And it works with derpy tokens, something survival can't do. This can never be the toolbox that survival is, but it can be an engine.
This is what I thought too. I run a GW EDH deck that has wipes as its prime weakness, and I can totally see myself having this on the table and some green mana open to fill my hand with new creatures in response to a board wipe that is going to kill my current ones anyway. Insurance policy!
Is it just me or are there a LOT of EDH cards in this set? That and an unusual amount of fixed versions of old power classics.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
Bonkers in modern elves once you have Heritage Druid. Tap 3 elves, use the mana to cycle some of them. Each one sacked is going to get you another 1 drop or hopefully the game ender. Yes I know you are spending 2 mana per dork, but there might be something there still.
