by Mal:

This type of effect is found in {w} , but it feels suitably black when put on a creature.

Not sure the ETB version works so that you can get two creatures - "each player sacrifices all but one other creature" makes it seem like you sacrifice this no matter what.

Reminds me of Archfiend of Depravity and Reiver Demon - there are probably more similar cards, but I can't think of any right now.

It's okay, but I find it just a little bit short of warranting the mythic rarity. Not fascinating/timmiesh enough IMO.

by KeresAcheron:

Maybe make it "sacrifice all but one non-Demon creature" like the original Rakdos? It also makes the card feel more Mythic.

Added "non-Demon". Added minor lifegain clause.
