Goes infinite combo with Eternal Witness.

Use Phyrexian Tower or High Market to sacrifice the Witness, and Sylvan Safekeeper to sacrifice the lands (respond to its own ability allow it to target itelf or the Witness multiple times). Toss the Second Sunrise and repeat. Use the infinite landfall and creature dance, and probably infinite mana for your evil plans. May use Piranha Marsh as your kill card.

Llandner, both spells are Instants >.>
Cast Second Sunrise, then respond with Kaervek's Spite once you have priority again. The Spite Resolves, you discard the remaining cards in hand and sac your stuff, then the Sunrise resolves and returns it again.
Altough this costs 1WhiteWhiteBlackBlackBlack, which is not a few and that easy to cast either.

But this card is indeed great if you run cards with the right abilities.
That is, cards which either have useful abilities when sacced, or which have a decent cip/etb ("enters the battlefield") or "leaves play"/"put into graveyard" trigger.

When using cards with triggered abilities, Greater Gargodon does an amazing job with that card:
Similar to Kaervek's Spite, it lets you sacrifice any permanent (except for Enchantments and Planeswalkers), yet you can do this more precisely up to 10 times (afterswards you'll get a hasty 9/7 body, that's not that tragic either), and it won't cost you any mana aside from Red nee... (see all)

Learn the stack Esprel. You cast this from your hand, then in response you cast spite from your hand. Both are instants. If there are no more responses, Spite resolves, then this resolves. Yay for the stack.

This is going in my Kaervek's Spite deck.

..but seriously this would work wonders with decks that sacrifice a lot.

It doesn't matter that both are instants.

If Kaervek's Spite is resolved first, then this spell is in the graveyard.

If this spell is resolved first, then you just saced everything you revived.

Unless while casting this spell it isn't technically in your hand anymore..... hmmm

Banned in Modern as of May 3rd, 2013.

Good riddance.

The most boring combo of all time is gone, basically. It can't operate without this card, or at least it has a really rough time with just Faith's Reward.
