I love this card for being so incredibly cheap and for not being held back by the infuriating "nonblack" clause. It brings many and evil grin to wipe out an opponent's best creature in exchange for your weakest. I have a penchant for tokens so this is as close to my perfect creature removal as I have found.

I dunno...I'm a little hesitant to donate my bones to the cause at sorcery speed.

Play this card with grave pact or field of souls on the field and laugh.

It's not a bad removal if you have tokens or unearth to pay the additional cost.
That said, if you can get an instant speed removal, get an instant speed removal.

If this were instant speed, it would be terrifically playable, and would probably warrant rare status (if not uncommon). At sorcery speed, it's not great at all in many situations, and you'd probably want cards that are more reliable across a variety of situations rather than those that can help you in the "one-in-twenty-games" types.

this card might not be card advantage, but its a HUGE form of card Quality selection. Frantic Search was card disadvantage, but because it was cheap/free/Actually gave you mana it was playable. This is similar. Trade your chaff for thier Hellkite Overloard and watch them cry.

I still like Terror or Terminate alot better than this card, but it is still playable. Works nicely if your opponent has a fatty that you cant deal with by just blocking.

Saccing a creature is a big cost, sorcery-speed removal doesn't allow that many tricks, and unfortunately the targeted creature can stll be regenerated.
But it's still black removal that doesn't have the nonblack-clause, requires very little mana and it's very advantageous if you want to get rid of one of your creatures anyways.
Regarding flavor, when glancing at Terror and then back to Bone Splinters, no artifact creatures should be allowed to be sacrificed or destroyed through this card.
...then again, i'll gladly sacrifice a Myr Servitor for this process.
