@ DarthParallax

Is it me or Kaalia of the vast is a bit useless in a sneak attack deck ?

Her effect is the same than the sneak attack. If you can put any creature in play for one mana, you don't care much to keep them alive, you mostly want to draw a lot.

Sneak attack should be used to either turn creature into crazy spell.
1-You play arcanis the Omnipotent for one red, it's like you have a red Ancestral Recall
2-Or play angel of despair to have a one red mana vindicate

3-Or to protect your sneak attack, put some Mystic Snake or creature counterspell.

Or to put dragon tyrant or other super big creature that end the game.

Personnaly, I'd like to use it to turn creature into spell more. Seems more fun.

Besides the obvious applications with kill-creature du jour, consider this as a followup to Jokulhaups as well: not only does the flood not kill this spell, but it also allows you to drop that Mountain in your hand and immediately strike with your biggest fatty on an empty board. It's important to note that this card can be activated as many times as you have mana for per turn, as well, so you can go from an empty board to 3 Pathrazer of Ulamogs for RedRedRed.

This is indeed one of the most broken cards from a broken block. Whoever thought that sacrificing the creature at the end of turn was a serious enough drawback for this effect must never have played against this card.

How does this card work with Conjurer's Closet? Would the closet resolve first and flicker your creature, or would Sneak Attack go first and you sacrifice it?

Wow that's overpowered. Bring Griselbrand in and draw 7 cards, heal that 7 life back and possibly kill your opponent. All for 3RedRed...

@PrezBOTW: The rules wants to make you believe you can choose, but in the real world, Sneak Attack's delayed trigger goes first ;)

combos with any big-ass creature regardless of color. Magus of the Mirror is an interesting one as well.
