My YMTC submission must either be a Johnny card or have great flavor. This does not have great flavor.

My submission will either be this or Shared Mind, unless I come up with something after work today. I really like Plague of the Risen because it has a lot more flavor, but, as Alex pointed out, it's a bit similar to Deadbridge Chant.

Do you mean to pay for the costs of spells/abilities you control? Because otherwise this lets you use all of your opponent's sac abilities. ("Why are you sacrificing my Falkenrath Aristocrat?" "To make make it indestructible, duh.")

Yeouch! I love the ability -- it sounds uber-powerful, without always being broken.

However, I'm not sure it works as is: just one repeatable-sac cost like Dross Hopper lets you completely remove ALL of your opponent's permanents which is essentially an auto-win. I want a way of making it interesting, so you have to actually find sac abilities that use it, but I'm not sure what would work better. Possibly adding a mana cost or making it happen just once per turn, but I'm not sure.

Let alone a land sacrifice outlet. (I think the wording would have to be come nastier too; to avoid "I sacrifice your creature! To cast emrakul!")

Change it to just "when paying the added cost of casting spells"? But even then, you hit.. oh, fiddlesticks... Devour That's the bunny, and a broken broken bunny it would be.

So I guess I don't know what to suggest. I like the idea; but there's just too many sac outlets.

Devour's not actually a cost, so that's not a problem. Dross Hopper definitely is, though.

Ah, yes. This likely is broken with things like Cartel Aristocrat. And dude1818 is right with the wording. This version is too vague.

Is there any way to add mana payment to using other people's stuff? Anyway, I think this is cut from my potential submissions.

Well, you could make it something like:

"Instead of paying a sacrifice cost, you may pay {b}{b}. If you do, target opponent pays that cost instead."
