Candy Trail seems potentially very useful. It's sort of s colorless Revitalize and when you're trying to play control out of life gain colors, that's huge.

I agree, Candy Trail is better than what it seems to be at first sight, the ETB Scry 2 on top of a Revitalize effect can be huge. I can't envision not playing it in Limited considering how cheap it is. I'd be more wary of putting this in a Monoblue SB since 3 life is probably not going to help much against go-wide aggro, Toxic in particular, though burn-heavy red decks really hate it if you manage to cash two of these in.
The dread knight is clearly based on the green knight and that bad boy is very very testable outside standard
I tried Tenacious Underdog in Modern, and the guy either cost 4 mana (and 2 life) whenever I wanted a card or my opponent often didn't take the 2-drop bait for turns straight. While at least Mosswood Dreadknight lets you get a card for 2 mana (and 1 life), it runs into the same "opponent won't take the bait" problem as Tenacious Underdog. I'm sadly skeptical about the Dreadknight making it into Modern as a result.
If it weren't for Scam I could definitely see Candy Trail in Modern with Urza and/or Emry.
I can see those artifact-heavy Underworld Breach decks with Emry try Candy Trail. I'm personally trying Candy Trail in Green Tron due to its The One Ring being a huge life hog and Green Tron sometimes mulliganing to hell, so any cheap scry, cantrip, and life gain helps, especially if I can tutor for it with Urza's Saga.

I'd been thinking about Tron too, hadn't even thought about the Saga interaction and it seemed good.
