Rulings

(5/1/2012)
If you control no other creatures, you won't sacrifice anything.
(5/1/2012)
If Demonic Taskmaster leaves the battlefield after its ability triggers but before it resolves, you'll still have to sacrifice a creature. Notably, if you control two Demonic Taskmasters and no other creatures, each one will force you to sacrifice the other.
