This card is awesome... Clearly the low rating is due to people being stupid. 4/5

While 2 cards for 2 cards doesn't create advantage persay, there are plenty of creature that like to die. So you will end up taking taking 2 of their cards, loosing 2 of yours, but gaining a small spell like ablity. Either that or taking out one of their lockdown auras.

Flavor text makes the card though.

Ravenous Rats or Sanity Gnawers seem like good disposable targets.

But fairly narrow... needs a bit of building around...

I agree with Kryplixx . .
There are plenty of cards that can be sacrificed such as Hellspark elemental, Keldon Marauder, and Blood Ghast.

This is pretty good. There are plenty of early creatures that you won't need mid-game, and some are better off in the graveyard.

Actually gives Hymn to Tourach a run for its money, but its more of a Johnny card.

Clearly anyone that has seen and rated this card less than a 4 hasn't thought of things like all the lovely low cost red elementals that you sac at EoT and this combined. Things like Spark Elemental, are ideal turn 2 with stuff like this. Let alone that, you CAN sac a token, or anything else that you can trigger a death ability on . Solid 4/5 or better.

Rotting Rats seems pretty good, too.

I'll throw in Black Cat as another good candidate.

Decent with Leyline of Anticipation, tokens, or guys who just die as already mentioned.

With the leyline you respond to removal by nuking your dude 1 mana, 2-for-3ing them in the process. They can probably reprint this as an instant these days.

EDIT: I realized this is also another uncounterable sacrifice cost; making it good with Abyssal Persecutor or things you need to trigger with dying abilities.

The other side of Skulltap (or Altar's Reap).

While there are probably better uses for Memnites, Ornithopters, and Phyrexian Walkers, getting this off on T1 feels so good.
