Thinking that Hollow One might see some play in Dredge, it casts for free with a Bazaar activation and dodges most of Dredge's traditional hate.
Saw an interesting article on it over on MTGGoldfish by Islandswamp, but just made me think about how it could be used to fuel Dread Return similar to Narcomoeba, but it's only useful when drawn and dredge doesn't like to actually draw cards, just replace the draws with dredges.
Thought this might be a spot to prompt some discussions and opinions on it's viability.
Hallowed one allows Dredge to play the "bazaar to filter into lands and hate and hard cast your dudes game" even better than it does. When facing LoTV or Rest in Peace, bazaar is used to dig into your hate pieces, and the hard-casting of spells allows for dredge to play a very terrible but surprisingly effective beat down role vs blue control
Hardcasting dudes is especially important vs cage and containment priest, since, bridges still activate under those two pieces of hate, especially when Stinkweed Imp holds down creatures very well with its deathtouch and thug can be usedc to recycle binned hate creatures like wispmare and ingot chewer. Hallowed one allows the deck and efficient peatdown role, and its ability to be played past thorn and sphere is not to be underestimated. Shops often board out it's weaker creatures in the matchup to make space for cards like tormod's crypt and cage. Hallowed one puts increased pressure by shotnerning the clock.
I'm pretty sure it will see play. Won't likely revolutionize the archetype, but if Prized amalgam was able to see play, this certainly will make an impact.

I also didn't consider the applications this card as with Survival of The Fittest. While nothe tier 1, the ability to play a free 4/4 after a Survival tutor chain that has synergy with Welder is not to be overlooked.
