I have a question:
Most sacrifice abilities require that you sacrifice the creature (or permanent) to the ability in order to power it so that you can't do things like:
Sac Death Cultist
-> Opponent loses 1 life
-> I gain 1 life
-> Bloodthrone Vampire gains +2/+2
Typically those cards are worded differently such as:
Sacrifice a creature: Bloodthrone Vampire gains +2/+2 until end of turn.
Sacrifice Death Cultist: Target opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
With this card it seems to imply that if it does damage and if you sacrifice it (regardless of what too or why) you get to choose a creature to destroy. I'm assuming that isn't the case but the wording makes me question.

I don't think tribal counts when considering whether a card is strictly better than another, and so I have to conclude this is strictly better than Severed Legion. Not as cool, unfortunately.

Wish she were a vampire, but alas she will do.

Wow, a master of etherium comment that isn't obnoxious in almost any way. Good job!
EDIT: this card could be fun in a r/b human/vampires Blade of the Bloodchief deck

This card can be absolutely abusive in black decks. Using nothing but 3 of these, a Morbid Plunder, 2 Gravedigger cards, and a Reaping the Graves along with two removal cards; it gave me complete board domination until I eventually won just by attacking with them. 5/5

I can't make up my mind about her. On one hand, removal is generally cheaper and quicker (Doom Blade, etc), but the evasion is also powerful.
A good card in limited, though. Almost saved me a few games. (I'm bad at draft to begin with, though)

@alphagprime
You cannot sacrifice something and use it for multiple abilities.
If you sacrifice the death cultist to a different ability (bloodthrone vampire), you can't sacrifice it for its own ability.
If an ability has a : in it, it means that everything to the left of it is a cost. Paying a cost happens even faster than instants. It just happens when you want to use the ability. You can't sacrifice the same creature twice.
This card is worded differently because it is a triggered abillity (ie you don't just pay the cost and then have something happen). If you sacrifice this creature before the triggered ability resolves, you won't be able to sacrifice it to this ability and you won't be able to kill anything. If you sacrifice this creature to this ability, it will not be able to be sacrificed to another ability like bloodthrone vampire.
Anyways, the biggest thing to remember is that you can't sacrifice something more than once.

Very decent filler card. Strong evasion and can take out your opponents biggest monster if needed.
