If this only costed 
, was a cip/etb-cantrip, or if it reduced the costs by 
, this would be more interesting. Like this, it's mostly a pitious junk card.
Nontheless my inner Johnny tried to find use for this card.
Since it appears to be so bad, Donating it seems to be an interesting idea. But don't forget that you'll also have to sacrifice a creature, and although it might even kill a control deck, it possibly won't have a notable effect on your opponent if he/she's playing a creature-based deck.
One of a few cases where this could find use over Ashnod's Altar is by bypássing the counter effect.
So you could use cards which have this as inherent effect like Obliterate, Urza's Rage, which can act as Lightning Bolt, or Wreak Havoc as 
Shatter/Sinkhole. Banefire will work... (see all)

Love this card. I use it in a Vintage enchantment-based control deck. I fuel it with Bitterblossom. With Arcane Laboratory it never gets too detrimental. I like it over Ashnod's Altar because it's an enchantment for my Replenish and Serra's Sanctum to have synergy with, and costs 1 less. Makes it easier to drop giant game-changing enchantments.

This thing is so Johnny it hurts. I mean seriously, am I the only one that realized this thing makes Brimstone Volley into ", Instant, As an additional cost to cast Brimstone Volley, sacrifice a creature. Brimstone Volley deals 5 damage to target creature or player." That makes it into a Goblin Grenade. At instant speed. With no creature restriction. This thing has a 2.1 why?

Very Rakdos flavor, but this card might gain the best benefit from Galgari guild, such as Bloodbond March.
The biggest flaw I see here is that creature is the easiest of all permanents to destroy. One sweeper, you won't be able to play non-creature spells till you have another creature out.

Definitely a johnny card, I play it with lifeline, eternal witness, and sprouting thrinax to power out akroma's memorial, banefire, and eldrazi monument. Lifeline is key, also good for thran quarry.

I haven't used it yet, but as soon as I saw this I saw its Savra potential. I was kinda surprised to see it rated so low. There are a lot of cards that benefit from a creature sacrifice. I'd like to try this out and see how it performs. It seems like it'd be interesting and educational.
