Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law!

It's like playing a slightly discounted Lava Axe that gives them choices and can be naturalized. It's a rare.

Pox

2BB for 5 life loss is incredibly good.

Is there better?

Pillar Tombs of Aku 2BlackBlack
Sorcery
Target player loses 5 life.

Would you play it? Because that's what it is at best.

Underpowered.

Except, you are all forgetting the main component of this spell.

GREED.

"I don't want to lose 5 life, I will let the other guy do that, I have a disposable Saproling, I'm ok."

So as you see, especially in multiplayer, people will chump sacrifice to keep their five life. IMHO

Shouldn't have to sacrifice this, it would be good

@Rolfmager

It's even worse than that. If they do decide to sacrifice a creature, it'll come around to you and you will have to make the decision between 5 life or a creature. Horrible rare, indeed. I, for one, think it's worse than Lava Axe, even if it's one mana cheaper.

@Qazior
It's 4 mana for either destroying a creature or dealing 5 damage to an opponent. Because the opponent has to sacrifice a creature and doesn't target anything, it gets around protection, shroud, invulnerability, damage prevention, and so forth. If they don't sac a creature, then they take 5 unpreventable damage (unless they play an instant or have something that prevents them from losing life). It's a pretty decent card.
