If you have this, a Dark Ritual, a Swamp, and 3 1-mana black creatures in your opening hand, you can get this guy out first turn. A deck built around that would be rather nasty. Granted, there are still things such as Path to Exile or, since we're using the Dark Ritual, Force of Will and the like, but a 9/9 trample flyer first turn is nothing to scoff at.

There's NO WAY this guy should be rated 4.5.

they need to make more Demons like this with alternate costs rather than absurd drawbacks.

Bad-A looking card, bad-A stats too. Sure he's vulnerable to spells, but if your so worried about it, just give him a Darksteel Plate, or protection from that color. I'd say he's probably worth it 90% of the time.

A new Delraich. It get's closer to the black 'vibe' than most of the usual black cards. However I don't understand why you have to sacrifice black creatures. Are demons so specific... no damsels appreciated?

By the way, I think a sorcery would be great. Instead of a demon, you can search your library (or cards outside the game) for a demon card an cast it without paying the mana cost. That spell forces you to sacrifice 3 creatures.

Edit: I wouldn't try any turn 1 thing, but in my opinion, it's one of the best black Demons. Sadly, he wasn't reprinted and sadly, there wasn't any black demon with Phyrexian Black in it's cost in New Phyrexia. But what I really miss in black are mana-producing 1-drops. They wouldn't make him better, but it would feel great to tap some of them, add the mana and then cast a demon that has a sacrifice cost when he comes into play.

To make this card a bit better, I would suggest the following:

"Name it!" Phyrexian BlackPhyrexian BlackPhyrexian Black
... (see all)

I am tired of folks saying things like this:
"T1: I play 4 Dark Rituals, and Phage the Untouchable with Fear!"

Very unimaginative. Dark Ritual is broken. If you use it, it means you are a bad person, and should feel bad.
