You may sacrifice Grave-Shell Scarab to pay for its first ability, then replace that draw using the Scarab's dredge ability. The result is that the top card of your library is put into your graveyard and Grave-Shell Scarab returns to your hand (after a brief trip to the graveyard).

1/12/2024·wotc

One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.

1/12/2024·wotc

You can't attempt to use a dredge ability if you don't have enough cards in your library.
