Double the mana cost? Nope, still broken. Try again.

Well at least until they update the sets and legalities tab I'm going to sneak this into my commander deck next to its Darth Vader looking brother Necro.

This isn't just a necropotence that costs twice as much. It has some advantages in that you actually just draw the cards at instant speed and more importantly you can discard to fuel Yawgmoth's will or reanimation or whatever else you need a graveyard for.
As for Bargain Vs Griselbrand, yes, Bargain is better, but not 'strictly better'. Griselbrand is a creature, a rather meaty creature that is useful whenever creatures are useful. He is easier to reanimate for a dredge deck, he works as a way to kill your opponent. Plus, you don't skip your draw step. On the downside, he costs more and you have to buy your draws in batches of 7. He is a different card and both are good. Hell, both are exceptional. There is no reason that both can't be useful.

This and Cadaverous Bloom gets out of hand quick. Bargain plus Rhystic Siphon and Skirge Familiar is a solid game plan, or you can just play it the way Necro used to be played and simply out pace the other guy. Tweaked versions of old broken cards often nets new broken cards.
On an different note: I notice a lot of people talking about how broken Urza's block was... That's not ENTIRELY accurate. Urza's had a HANDFUL of broken cards that warped the game. the vast majority of the block were very "meh".

Everyone says that all of Yawgmoth's cards are overpowered just because those two from Urza Block are. Think about that. Is Yawgmoth Demon overpowered? No? Is Eye of Yawgmoth overpowered? No. Is Order of Yawgmoth overpowered? No. Yawgmoth's Edict? No. Priest of Yawgmoth? No.
Not all of the cards I mentioned are bad, but none of them are overpowered. Some people may consider Yawgmoth's Agenda overpowered, but others might not.

First, accelerate into it with rituals, then, draw more rituals, then cast more rituals, then win with tendrils of agony
Yawgmoth really like storm decks, (as seen in his will)

Please look at this.
People talk about the {B}{B} difference between this and griselbrand. It seriously doesn't even matter. Nobody ever hardcasts griselbrand. It just means that rather than requiring (another) Dark Ritual as a combo piece to get this thing out at a reasonable point in time, you're going to be needing a Reanimate or the like.
What you're giving up with griselbrand is the ability to incrementally draw, which is kind of a big deal. But you're getting something which is just as big of a deal, and that is a win condition that on the very next turn will make up for your loss of life. They need to try this card in Legacy again.
