This card seems to be severely underrated.
Think of the creature sac as a perk, and it opens up many new possibilities. Slap it on an Abyssal Persecutor. Use it with Reassembling Skeletons. Use it with black "dies" effect creatures, or Mortician Beetles. Running out of creatures to sac to Xathrid Demon? Slap this on him and make a final lunge for 10 damage. All for 1 mana.
Black is about obtaining great power quickly and at any cost. Embrace it.
4/5

Too big appetite, and it's not demonic enough.

This is really interesting with tokens genreators like Bitterblossom.

Bleh, doesn't really seem worth it.

Was the "you control" really necessary? I get there would be some exploitative combos then, but there are already cards that do the 'one-sided, sac a creature a turn' effect. Namely, the tribal ones like Anowon, the Ruin Sage and Call to the Grave, and those don't require 2-3 card combos.
Combos aside, the aura still remains under your control, so if you did enchant an opponent's creature, there would be zero benefit for you if you had nothing else to capitalize on either effect. The only reason I think they did that was to prevent confusion by new players. They might think that it would effect the creature's owner, not the aura's.
Even then, I think THAT might have been an interesting spell. Sort of like a cheaper Geth's Verdict that could back fire on you, a la suicide black style. Plus the downside would follow the benefit. So it would be even less exploitable.

So i had an iteresting idea, Demonic Appetite says you can only enchat a creature "you" control. After enchating a creature like Eager Cadet, can you make your opponent sac creatures if you play "Donate" and make him/her gain control of "Demonic Appetite" ?

oni possesion made sense cause of trample, this is just not strong enough to be worth the sacrifice, unless this is part of a combo with mortician beetle and breeding pit or something.

@MagicMarker: No, because you still control Demonic Appetite. Its worded that way to be an epic fail with bazaar trader. If you throw it down on a creature and then donate the creature or the aura to an opponent, it will slide off because it no longer enchants a valid target. The entire idea is to make it clear that the card has a drawback, not a sneaky way to foist an abyss effect on your opponents (some people tried to make it happen with Mark of Oni during kamigawa constructed. It didn't work out as well as they hoped).
