Yep, I'd sacrifice a saproling to save one of my bigger creatures. Or sac a permanent that's about to be destroyed to put a regeneration shield on a key creature. Hell, being able to sac any permanent you control, anytime, for a positive effect is a great ability.

I'd sac excess lands, artifacts (prob mana stones) or tokens in Commander or Modern for just about anything, sure-- But I'm skeptical about saccing anything but a mass-produceable creature token in Standard.

Legacy or Vingtage, I could probably win the game faster than building up a board prescence just to sac it.

I'm not saying it's a bad effect at all- only that the place it fits is sort of specific.

Uh... Is there something wrong with her arms, or is that just me?! They seem to be bending in strange directions...

Its actually a strong effect, with +1 starting hand and 3 extra life to boot.
