Is that really worth 3.8 stars? Has anybody actually run this in a real deck?
No Rest for the Wicked is usually better. In fairness, there's nothing else that does this nearly so cheaply.

Use this with Aluren, Recycle, and a whole bunch of Tempest Slivers (which all cost 3 CMC or less). Massive card advantage!

This card powers my favorite rogue Legacy deck, Nature's Scapegoats. You play Nature's Claim and start playing zero-drop creatures (Ornithopter, Kobolds of Kher Keep, etc) as cantrips. But since you only draw one card per creature played, sooner or later you run out of gas -- you have a hand of noncreature spells and ten or twelve worthless creatures on the field. You usually won't draw a second Nature's Claim soon enough to start gaining card advantage. Scapegoat lets you scoop your battlefield, recast those creatures, draw that many cards again, and squeak into a Grapeshot FTW.
It's a fragile combo and not as powerful or reliable as top-tier decks, but man is it fun to watch it do its thing.

@ Salient
The card you mean is Glimpse of Nature and the deck is called "Cheerios".

This card, sadly, cannot be stolen with Goatnapper.
