This looks like a limited bomb to me.

The first time i saw someone use a blink to get around the evoke sacrifice, I thought it seemed a little fishy, but i let it pass. If you review the rules, specifically 702.72a, it's very clear that the sacrifice is PART of the casting cost, not a triggered effect. Failure to sacrifice the creature makes the evoke fizzle and the creature goes to the graveyard. It doesn't matter if the creature leaves the battlefield, it still must be sacrificed to fulfill the evoke cost. Any judge that misses this obviously hasn't read the rules closely enough.

@Oblivax: No, that isn't how this works at all. Evoke sets up a trigger when the creature etbs for it to be sacrificed because it uses the word 'when'. It can be responded to with something like a Cloudshift, and because it's a new object after the Cloudshift it will not be sacrificed.
