by Camruth:

Is it clear that you only sacrifice it at the start of your upkeep if you cannot remove a -1/-1 counter ?

by SadisticMystic:

If you start the upkeep with one counter, you remove that counter, get a token, then immediately sacrifice the Beast. (If the last counter is removed by some other means, such as by putting a +1/+1 counter on it, it still survives as a 4/4 until your next upkeep, where you'll also get another token even though you can't remove a -1/-1 counter for it.)

Does it work better with this wording change ?

by MadtownLems:

Ignoring the wording - I think the card is just kinda bad. a 4 mana 1/1 that slowly gets larger while making tiny guys? I think it'd be fine without the sacrifice clause at all!

Agreed, the sacrifice clause is gone.
