@Akromar: Actually, in multiplayer, this affects everyone except the player with the fewest permanents.
Keep in mind - although a player may only sac a permanent once each turn to stop the effect, they can sac on each other player's turn as well. I would find it hilarious to watch a game turn into a sacri-fest.

And if you end up being that player, guess what you can sac? this. This card is nice like that, you won't end up screwing yourself.

Kryptnyt, why would you ever let it come to that? :D
How would Forbidden Orchard go well with this? you're just giving them permanents to sacrifice in order to ignore the effect...

Common misunderstanding. "Any other" can either mean "each other" or "any one other". The oracle text cleared this up, so it definitely does only affect one person in multiplayer.
As for how to use this card, I would suggest focusing on instants and sorceries, with as few permanents as possible (preferably planeswalkers). Avoid anything that repeatedly gives permanents (such as forbidden orchard). The hunted cycle is acceptable, but if you are playing the right deck you shouldnt need to give your opponent permanents for this to favor you.
