I swear this dude learned grinning like that by having been a Sith in his earlier life -
he clearly adapted that smirk from watching his master Palpatine agonizing his victims over the years.

What's happening in the art?

While I get the balance arguments people are mentioning; it IS overcosted. What would I use as evidence? Tempo. One extra card, even in a deck that combos off of spell casting (young pyromancer or gelectrode for example) isn't worth losing your 4-drop slot. That's the same slot as:
-Wrath effects
-The best planeswalkers
-Nasty creatures like Talrand
-Better draw spells like Gifts Ungiven or even concentrate
Think of it this way; with Curiosity you can nail an opponent with a bounce or kill spell with that other 3 mana and now your creature gets in; or if it had evasion, you have counterspell mana open. This kind of mana only works in casual because you open yourself to instant speed threats and the board can be flipped on it's head in a single turn when your mana is closed.
Lastly? This only triggers on *combat* damage. The best uses/combos with Curiosity were... (see all)

I'm pretty sure the artwork here is an homage to the film Dark City. The man on the ground resembles the protagonist, the device the Dimir agent is using resembles an important device used in the film, and, without spoiling anything, a case could even be made for the name of the card itself...
