hm...alextfish brings up an interesting point regarding sac engines in standard. But more importantly it gave me an idea. While there are no sac ENGINES that care about p/t, there are a few individual sac cards that care about p/t. the first one that comes to mind: Fling  Normally Fling is card disadvantage b/c it's 2-for-1ing yourself and is only useful as a finisher. However, I think this card helps enable fling.dec b/c it keeps giving you more large creatures to pitch at your opponent's face. I realize it costs 5 mana but we can get there. Here's my crack at it: Creatures 2 x Fume Spitter  2 x Mortarpod  4 x Reassembling Skeleton  2 x Demonic Taskmaster  2 x Geralf's Messenger  4 x Demonlord of Ashmouth  4 x Mortis Dogs  4 x Falkenrath Aristocrat  Non-Creatures 2 x Go for the Throat  4 x Fling 3 x Artillerize  3 x Demonic Rising  Lands 4 x Blackcleave Cliffs  4 x Dragonskull Summit  4 x Mountain  12 x Swamp  Let me know what you think. (of course I should probably be posting this over in 'casual decks', but whatevs).
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** From Mark Rosewater's Tumblr: the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play? I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Post #777

When you have removal that has restrictions, it can be a sneaky benefit to have a variety of it. Removal is much harder to dodge when you aren't sure which removal to dodge. Do you dodge the Tragic Slip by not playing an extra creature, or the Geth's Verdict by doing so? You also have the hidden benefit that many people assume you're playing 4-ofs and will walk into your removal in games 1 and 2.

Did I read it wrong or did the author state that tomorrow all the cards will be spoiled? I would expect them to be spoiled next week.

The creature made by Demonic Rising is more resilient than Phyrexian Obliterator  . If it dies, you just wait for another turn during which you have only one other creature, and the demon is back. An opponent has to kill both the creature and the enchantment to keep the demon dead. And it is usually easier to kill a creature than an enchantment, so Grave Titan  is similarly easier to deal with than Demonic Rising.
Also, Demonic Rising could, conceivably, put ten points of power on the board, if the other creature you control dies while you keep the token.
I still would rather have Grave Titan , or Bloodgift Demon  , or any number of other black fatties, than this enchantment, but it does have its perks.
I see this:
Teenage Minimum-Wage Demon
3BB
Legendary Creature - Djinn
Flying
~ randomly doesn't show up for work when scheduled. ~ may also call out sick at the last minute. (For example, removal in response to the trigger.)
~ may show up on random turns for the rest of the game.
5/5
And it's just worse than Sengir Vampire  . I gave my example card the Legendary supertype because this card is dumb in multiples. And by dumb, I mean dumb.

Bleh, am I the only one here who doesn't like the art?! The concept is great, but wasn't done very tastefully from a very good angle. It took me a good 30 seconds of looking over the image to get what was in the picture.
