Wouldn't have needed the upkeep cost for , but i guess this was done to complicate repeated usage of the same creature which gets sacrificed each turn. Composite Golem for instance could find use with this for at the cost of 1 life each turn, or Loxodon Hierarch at the cost of to gain 3 life and regenerate your creatures each combat.

You can't cycle creatures in and out of your graveyard with this. The last line reads "Remove it from the game at end of turn." Not, "Place it in your graveyard at end of turn."

This is great. Combine it with Kokusho and some repeated sacrificing (Greater Good, anyone?) You'll be trimming your hand all the time, and you're draining loads of life from everyone :P
@Knightofmars : Even though you have to exile the creature at end of turn, you can merely sacrifice the creature to another effect before your turn ends - Phyrexian Vault and, as mentioned above, Greater Good are great ways to ensure that you don't lose your creature permanently.

This, any sacrifice outlet and Solemn Simulacrum can rapidly get insane.
Maybe the Braveheart reference is a little obvious... but is it?

The Oracle text (exile at the beginning of the next end step) makes this work wonders with Sundial of the Infinite and Teferi's Veil. In fact, with the former, if you don't mind skipping the rest of your turn, you can reanimate without ever losing life!

As with unearth, Teferi's Veil allows you to keep the reanimated card permanently after your endstep, so long as it attacked.

Doesn't take much to make a single creature with this repeatedly abusable. Demon of Death's Gate, Lord of the Pit, and Devouring Strossus are obvious combos. The strossis especially given that it can kill itself, it can regen to make sure it hits, and it is too expensive to cast reliably. Lord of the pit is less so as he would normally not be in a deck (as most would favor Liege of the Pit or Xathrid Demon) and DoDG already has an alternate cost that's easy to use.

Does wonders in my EDH Jarad deck: get a fatty (say: Ghoultree) from the yard, attack, sac at end of turn, deal 10 to everyone, do it again next turn! :D

I ran it in my Bolas EDH to great effect. See, when you actually cast a commander like Bolas, he's a target. No one wants to get their hand eaten. So, he'll most likely be slain ASAP.
Let it goto the graveyard, and bring it back out with this or a similar effect, smack the guy who killed your commander with him, and then move it back to the command zone when it exiles at end of turn.
I also recommend simple raise dead effects to keep down on the cost of recasting bolas in late game.
