Card Design Challenge - a Bloody Cost - Closed

Design a card that requires it's controller to sacrifice other deployed cards


--- The Challenge ---
Sometimes resources aren't enough for payment. Sometimes the powers you want to summon are so great that blood sacrifices have to be made. So for the next two weeks, design a card that requires its controller to sacrifice other deployed cards.
The sacrifice doesn't have to be done upon entering the deployed area, it can also be the cost of an ability the card can activate multiple times or it can be a continuous effect. You may choose to sacrifice any kind of card (artifacts, locations missions or characters). You can also choose to kill your own deployed character (the difference between sacrifice and killing is that when you kill a character you lose morale, sacrifice is morale-free). Go wild!
In game examples:

• Summoner of the deep
• Acolyte of the Altar
• Demon of Gluttony
• Blood Arrow
• Splat
• Nysrugh (both)
• Wholesale Slaughter
• Shield Generator
• Unstable Bomb-bot
• Overclock
• Secluded Constructor
• Genesis Battlesuit
• Shrapnel Launcher
• Ultra-unit

[Prince of Lies]

Name: Altar of the Doomed
Faction/Purity: Sleepers of Avarrach or Exiles
Type: Location
Rarity: Epic
Cost: 6
Rules Text:
Any non-Unique Demon and Undead Character you control cannot be affected by non-targeting effects of cards other than itself.
Exhaust, sacrifice a Character you control: Target Character loses all text and becomes exhausted this turn. The first time that the targeted Character dies, it moves to your Support Zone, gaining Infect and Consume 2.

Flavor Text:
A small surviving portion of a lavishly-decorated cathedral.
The space for the altar seemed to have been completely obliterated by someone's... or something's inhuman rampage. The area now sporting only some few pieces of ripped-up fabric and rotting wooden furniture with numerous eerie symbols in red paint, it reeked of decay and corruption more than ever.
Hearing a strange dissonant chorus of groaning, moaning, hissing and sneering, the men of the rescue unit faltered in their footsteps when they turned to meet the sight of a seemingly infinite number of shambling corpses and malformed humanoid creatures steadily marching towards them.
Frozen in fear and disbelief at the unheard alliance, they could only watch in muted horror as they were devoured by the undead and the demons alike.

I got carried away with the flavor text.
I'm probably biased towards Exiles and Sleepers for designing this card. Probably too biased.
But. No. More. Heroes.

EDIT:
Added clarity to card text.
Removed possible exploits with Flame Dawn, Genesis and Overseers token and/or rush tactics plus Untouchable shenanigans with non-Sleepers/Exiles cards.

Note:
Basically, at turn 6, you grant all non-Unique Demons and Undead invulnerability effects like Tome of the Dead, Mass Death, Fear, Calamity, Martyr of Peace, Spontaneous Combustion, Yuanshi effects and even Wholesale Slaughter (which doesn't target anything, actually... or at least that's how I'm led to believe when the ability resolves).
Cards like Chain Lightning and Burning Prejudice will not be protected against as they actually target a card and, by extension, target all other cards that satisfy its targeting requirements.
However, it is worth noting that continuous passive effects such as Plaguebearers and Alpha Demons will not work at all due to how the protective effect covers all non-targeting non-self effects. Taiga and Ascended Lucca will only buff Unique non-Undead/Demon Characters. Guns of Goliath, Warcry and Bromich will buff Unique non-Undead/Demon Characters only.
You get to Humble and Undead-ish Corruption any character at the cost of another Character. Kill all those undying with infinite lives or exhaust-upon-death mechanics.

Yana, Life Merchant
1p OoS
5 cost
13 morale
Unique Character- Angel

Vigilance

Whenever a character you control dies, it gains +3/+1 permanently.

When Yana, Life Merchant kills a character, return the character closest to the bottom of your graveyard to play.

Pay 3: Yana, Life Merchant kills target character you control. This can only be used if Yana, Life Merchant is deployed.

5/10

Her graveyard recycling aside simply giving things such a huge buff from command brings more less used cards into viability.

Even wihout hehkeem (that would be a bit op) u now have incentive to use Best Fiends, Risen of averrach, and Reccuring Nightmare. This also buffs Last Sleeper a bit as well. Sleeper of Avarrach is still kinda crap but a bit more usable now as it has a nonhehkeem way of returning to play.

Possibly allows for OoS Sleepers decks. But also can be used in warpath from command+fight.

Also imagine dropping her wih vigilance into a line of FD. Just killing 2 things before she dies brings back 2 things from the grave. Reasonably powerful for her cost (compare with Awaken which absolutely brings back something, she has to kill things and you dont get to choose what comes back)

[Vuurjopi]

does this entry count? or does it have to be sacrifice?
The main difference here is you lose morale when she "sacrifices"

Yes, killing your own is okey, I'll add it in the description.

Non-Unique Characters you control cannot be affected by non-targeting card effects.
Exhaust, sacrifice a Character you control: Target Character loses all text and becomes exhausted this turn. If that Character dies, it moves to your Support Zone, gaining Infect and Consume 2.

So, to get this clear:
We have character_1, you sacrifice him. Then you target character_2. Character_2 loses all text and becomes exhausted. If Character_2 dies, it moves to the support zone and gains infect + consume 2.
If character_2 dies again, does he move to the support zone again? Or does he die for real this time?

[Number11]

Pain Embodied
1 purity CoV - Common
0 cost
Ability

Kill a character you control and target an opponent character. The opponent character takes 1.5X damage (rounded up) where X is the morale cost of the killed character you control.

[Prince of Lies]

It only works once just like Undead Corruption unless you want to keep targeting the same text-less Character which won't really give you an advantage. Unless you take a big fat meatie.
But then it has no Unstoppable or Reach so it won't be clearing anything.
And you still suffer morale penalties if it doesn't die by a non-sacrifice effect.

Does this happen the turn you play it or the turn after? Because Im not sure its possible to have this happen the turn you play it. Also the fact it would be a little overpowered for its cost if this were the case. I like that it involves cost though, you can kinda use burden of command with it
