I'm not really getting Wedding Announcement. The card seems really bad to me. The fact you have to transform it means you can't use it as some win con token generator, and it seems way too slow for any aggro deck to want it that is triggering the card draw part.
Wedding Announcement: Having to jump through hoops for a no-frills anthem? No thanks.
Demonic Bargain: Allows you to dig ridiculously deep for the cost, but exiling a huge chunk of your library just for one card hardly seems worth it. You don't even get a "you may cast that card" tacked on as a pity prize. I'm sure there's scenarios where it'll shine, but I'll stick to Diabolic Tutor.
Grolnok: I can't help but like this. Gets around graveyard hate by creating a personal exile zone that can't be meddled with. Might get me to finally play a self-mill deck. The Threshold frogs won't work with it, unfortunately. Changelings/Arcane Adaption might be your best bet.
I don't see what you wanted from Demonic Bargain. You can already cast the card as it goes to your hand, or did you mean for free? The card would be beyond absurd at that point. 3 mana go and get Emrakul and cast it for free? Yer right.
As it is it's mostly a better Grim Tutor for any deck that wants that. Exiling 13 cards is barely even a cost. Grim Tutor isn't particularly great to begin with though. If this shows up it will be in some combo deck as that's the only real type of deck that wants 3 mana tutors.
Wedding announcement is not an anthem that you have to go through hoops to flip. Anthem is the reminder of the 3 cards you drew or 3 humans you made (or a combination of the 2) for 3 mana.
Yes, it is slow and a bit clunky - but the incremental value of this card is quite high - it just isn't the drop crusade and swing that we are used to.

You've done those things over 3 turns though, that's the problem. It's slow to do anything. The sort of deck that can actually trigger it to draw 3 cards over 3 turn isn't going to want a 3 mana effect that builds incremental card advantage over 3 turns, it's too slow for them. The create a 1/1 every turn part could have had potential as a finisher for decks that gives inevitability that would be hard to interact with, but the fact you have to transform it means it can't even do that.
Watch, Wedding Announcement (a vampire-themed card) will end up being one of the better human aggro tools. I'm calling it.
As someone trying to force a human tribal deck into a standard that doesn't really support it... I guess I hope your right, but I think its going to be to slow, and occupies the point on the curve where aggro wants fewest cards and already has some really great options.
I agree. I'm also trying to force a humans deck in Standard, but because Jerren, Corrupted Bishop is one of my favorite cards in a long time.

Nice! I've gone in a different direction at least partly because I love Sunrise Cavalier (which I can't get over is just an uncommon!) and Blade Historian.

Also works with eternal scourge and misthollow griffin
Could this theoretically be even more dangerous than demonic tutor in legacy?
