Pyretic Prankster // Glistening Goremonger

An edict you fire yourself, on a body most people would rather just swing with and forget. The 2/1 front face is disposable aggro chaff, and that is the point: it costs almost nothing to deploy and asks almost nothing of your board while you set up. The back-face death trigger is the actual card, an edict that forces each opponent to sacrifice an artifact or a creature of their choice. What separates it from the usual random-edict problem is that you own every step of the sequence. You choose when to flip (the activation runs only at sorcery speed, so the plan is telegraphed a turn early), and because you can feed the Phyrexian Devil to your own sacrifice outlet, you decide the exact moment it dies. Edicts normally give opponents the initiative: they wait on combat or on a creature dying and then hand over the least painful thing. Here the timing is yours, so the edict lands when it hurts most. The Phi in the flip cost is the wrinkle that widens the audience: pay it with two life instead of black mana and a deck without heavy black access can still run the whole engine. Front to back, this is a small creature you spend twice, once as an early attacker and once as ammunition you point yourself.
