High Risk - High reward. I was originally going to cost this at but that might make it too good. Also, it originally exiled the creature at the end of the combat phase rather than dealing you damage - the first time someone dropped an attacking Emrakul 3rd turn it quickly changed. Now, you get to keep the creature but at the cost.
Hm. It does still seem scarily good with Emrakul, but I guess so are Sneak Attack and Through the Breach. I would prefer the "sac the creature at EOT" version, because that's more consistent with how this ability has worked before.
Reverted to Sac at EoTfor consistency.
