At the Born of the Gods pre-release, you get three packs of BotG (including a semi-randomized one with the promo), and three of Theros. Getting this, Pyxis of pandemonium and three off-colour promos (most of my usable stuff was Red/Green) as my rares did not help my already lacklustre cardpool. I might have had better odds at winning had I gone the pure chaos route, heh.

I wonder if this card can be played seriously. Put most of your creatures in one pile and your Graverobber Spider in another. If your land pile gets nuked, cast Drown in Filth with two Sylvan Caryatids. Cast Showstopper before this card. If you have a creature with Gift of Immortality, put both the creature and the aura in one pile. If that pile is sacrificed, both the creature and the aura will come back.
Probably won't work. It's just meant to be a goofy card.
It's important to note you can't cast any instants or activate any abilities between choosing piles and sacrificing.
I wish this card forced you to divide your cards in hand (facedown) into the piles also. It doesn't do anything to hurt players who rely on high life points or cards in hand, so Azorius Control players will just tap all their lands to play Sphinx's Revelation in response.

At first I thought this was an awkward effect and essentially useless at that. When you look a little deeper, you see that there is a lot of strategy in choosing piles, even if the outcome is random. There is hardly any reason to make 3 piles so the problem becomes 1 or 2. Strategically splitting your own piles is difficult and the fact that this is a symmetrical effect that may harm you and not your opponent requires it to be built around. It looks like a great kitchen table card but the whole "piles can be empty" kills it for competitive play. That aside, a card that really brings skill and strategy into a game of magic, above and beyond the norm.
Perhaps a deck focused on Admonition angel,Helvault,Faith's Reward etc. would work pretty well with something like this.
Better still: use something like Mindslaver to choose what you want dead. Slaver+ a spell copying effect and this could very easily lea... (see all)
