At the beginning of your end step, target opponent may sacrifice two nonland, nontoken permanents. If they don't you draw two cards.
DemonDragonJ on Are Free Spells Becoming Too …

wallisface, I am lamenting that because I fear that this may be a new trend: first, there was Sheoldred Flip, then, there was Rakdos, Patron of Chaos, and, now, there is this flare cycle, so I am worried that all sacrifice effects in the future, either voluntary or involuntary, may specify non-token permanents, which completely invalidates the purpose of token decks to produce disposable cannon fodder; Demand Answers gives me hope that the previous cards are rare exceptions, but I noticed that it specifies sacrificing an artifact, not a creature, and, until recently, it was far easier to generate creature tokens than artifact tokens, and also easier to reanimate creatures than artifacts, but we have already discussed this issue, so there is no need to discuss it, any further.

MightyPox, I did indeed miss your initial comment somehow! I was traveling and replied on mobile, so I blame the small screen. I also really love my demons and it hurts to take any out, so I'm constantly shifting the mix between demons and enablers depending on what I feel is strongest at the moment. We just got some AWESOME new demons though, so I'm tweaking the list towards the creature side again.
Bloodletter of Aclazotz and Rakdos, Patron of Chaos absolutely need to be in the deck. Infernal Sovereign is tricky, and I'm still on the fence, but I'm going to try it out and see. It can fuel some absolutely insane turns, adds bonus value to our cheap spells like rituals and loots, but it's a real feels bad to have if trying to use Sire Of Insanity. High risk high reward, which I want to love.
Bringer of the Last Gift and Scourge of the Skyclaves are both reanimation nonbos, so I don't like them for that reason. I hate paying full cost for my demons since I've worked in so much synergy with cheating creatures. If you like them, run them! They are fun demons for sure. :)
The Balrog of Moria keeps popping in and out of my list, and he's so close to worth it. We'll see if the heavier creature focus I'm shifting back towards gets him a spot.

I have replaced Flameblade Angel with Rakdos, Patron of Chaos, since Rakdos better fits the theme of this deck.
DemonDragonJ on Why Do Recent Sacrifice Effects …
4 months ago
I have noticed that some recent effects that force players to sacrifice permanents, such as Sheoldred Flip or Rakdos, Patron of Chaos specifically mention non-token permanents, which bothers me very much, because one of the main reasons for which some players like to play decks that generate large numbers of tokens is to have an army of disposable cannon fodder that they can expend without suffering any real losses.
Thus, I really hope that the "non-token" clause on forced sacrifice effects is used only on rare occasion, and that the default for such effects will remain all permanents, token or non-token.
What does everyone else say about this? Why do recent sacrifice effects specify non-token permanents?
