Best of the trio. I can see this being a big pick in limited, saccing your chump blockers to it.

The "sacrifice any creature" is acceptable. Without the newts though, this ain't really worth playing, unless you got a lot of additional combos with it.
With the newts though it's nice, especially in multiplayer games. Maybe slap the newts on a soul foundry? Not good enough for a serious deck, but for casual multiplayer ones...

Infinite Reflection one of your newts to see a sudden influx in the underground newt trade.
And who said finding the right ingredients was hard?

@ Rollingsclone
That's exactly what i used it for at a 'Magic Celebration Day' at my local card store today. Everyone got one of those 30 card starter decks and a free booster pack for a limited deck build. I had this in my booster and was playing blue - and this card frustrated so many of my opponents.
It even made my Coral Merfolk useful! Hoorah!
I rated this a 4, as because it helped me deny my white enemies lifelink from chump blocks - exceptionally useful.
For the record, it appeared white was the strongest deck, as out of 30 people in the group stages, the 6 that made it into the final 6, 4 had white, 1 had black and I had blue.
I won.

I drafted both this and Sanguine Bond. It worked surprisingly well, particularly since I had Healer of the Pride on the board. Cast Festering Newt gain two life, opponent loses two life, toss newt to the cauldron, opponent loses four life, gain four life, opponent loses four life. I've cooked worse recipes.

And what about saccing any tiny creature to get a 4/4 flying angel with Angelic Accord of the same set ?

I love this card.
It has so much combos with the rest of M14!
This is what happened with my deck...
Me: I tap Bubbling Cauldron and a land to activate it's first ability, sacrificing my Sin Collector. I gain four life. Then, since I have 4 Xathrid Necromancer's, I get 4 2/2 Zombies. THEN, since I have 4 Angelic Accord's and I have gained 4 life this turn, I get 4 4/4. Pass the turn. :D
Opponent: Ok... I play a Plains and a Boros Mastiff. Pass the turn.
Me: (Repeats)
Opponent: CONCEDE.
That was a fun game of constructed.

I wish this had been "sacrifice a salamander, lizard or bat" instead of name-dropping the Festering Newt specifically. That would have made deck brewing (ha!) with the cauldron much more fun outside of M14.
