I have removed Drafna's Restoration, and Frantic Salvage because of a good suggestion by Feyamius and a bit of play testing I have replaced them with Deep Analysis, and Treasure Cruise I have replaced with good reason too. Deep Analysis has been giving me consistent card draw with not much of a draw back and Treasure Cruise gives me some good card draw with the downside of tossing cards I don't need to reanimate
*ok-ish
But thanks for mentioning Sage of Lat-Nam, I didn't know this dude and he looks awesome in this deck.

I have a Sludge Strider PDH deck as well and I fell for the same cards first. But I really think Drafna's Restoration and Frantic Salvage are traps. They're not really card advantage and they obstruct your draws, you don't get anything new for a few turns. It might be ok_-ish_ if you can follow it up directly with a draw spell, but again: card advantage is something different.
So I'd instantly switch those without any hesitation for real card advantage like Foresee, Treasure Cruise, Deep Analysis, or Read the Bones. Or, to stick with the theme of the deck, Tezzeret's Ambition and Artificer's Epiphany instead.
