Solemn Simulacrum
Even at hellbent, this guy is so much worse than an artifact creature...

Wow! You guys are harsh! How many red cards say "Draw a card" in the first place?
Within the block, this is a pretty good graveyard-boosting card. One card in hand and two into the yard?
With dredge, madness, flashback, retrace, transmute, soulshift, etc., discarding a card isn't the end of the world anymore. Consider also that this is an effect, not a cost to activate an ability, AFAIK, you can avoid the card going to the graveyard with Library of Leng.

Compare to Balduvian Horde. Even with the creature-cantrip effect at the end, it's baaaad. Random discard is MUCH worse than normal discard.

More useful if you pay this card when your hand is empty, but nonetheless i have no idea how a 3/1 four-drop is required to gain the "Nightmare drawback"...might have very narrow use in a hellbent deck, yet he should have been 3/3 or 1 cheaper, though.

Should be 4/1 first strike, preferably with haste too. That's one heck of a drawback.

could have been a 3/3 with haste and first strike, and it still wouldn't have seen play.

At four, this guy could be the last card in your hand, which is just about the only time I would cast him anyway...
1/5 Stars

3/1, okay, that's pretty barbarian.

Random discard but draw when it does, nice use of the Nightmare mechanic.

3Red. Wat.
