This does get around Tajuru Preserver whereas the other edicts do not.

Sacrifice didn't appear as a mechanic in Portal Three Kingdoms, that is why it is destroyed instead of sacrificed. All those that have it now from the set (Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed, Fire Bowman, and Loyal Retainers) had their official text changed only later, and make no references to sacrifice on the printed cards.
The three Portal sets each used a more restrictive vocabulary to try to introduce the game to new players.

This is my favorite card in Magic purely because of flavor.

"Destroy it." is a pretty halting sentence.

Changing this back to the portal text is silly, because Cruel Edict, in its original printing in Portal Second Age, had the exact same rules text on it. It is very inconsistent to have two cards with the same rules text function differently.

Now with the "new" legend rule aka "the great nerfing of clones."
This is one of the few ways I can kill Geist or Sigarda.

Not bad, it destroys creatures even if they have shroud, since it only targets an opponent... kind of like a crappy version of Diabolic Edict.
