When The Sackville-Bagginses enter, you may sacrifice another creature or artifact. If you do, draw a card and create a Treasure token. Whenever you sacrifice a token, target opponent loses 1 life.
Predicted power
Standard 61 Eng.B-Usr.

With token fodder, its ETB upgrades a token into a card and Treasure; above Qarsi Revenant's 57 profile, but weak as a bare 2/2.

Best home Black token-sacrifice shellsBand role-playerConfidence 57%

Could be wrong if The unknown post-release token supply and whether a black sacrifice shell becomes tiered.

Pioneer 49 Eng.C-Usr.

A one-shot conversion engine; without a supplied established sacrifice shell, it falls below Culling Ritual (57) as fringe synergy.

Could be wrong if Existing enablers may make the ETB more reliable, or stronger two-drops may crowd it out.

Modern 42 Eng.D+Usr.

Below Soulless Jailer (53): it needs fodder and offers no disruption, leaving it as a narrow artifact/token-sacrifice engine.

Could be wrong if Cheap artifacts or a token loop could create an unlisted combo; absent that, its floor is too low.

Legacy 39 Eng.DUsr.

Free artifacts help its ETB, but a conditional one-shot payoff should remain well below Emry's 69-point adoption in this efficient field.

Could be wrong if Lotus Petal and other free artifacts may support a stronger combo shell than revealed context shows.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 63 Eng.B-Usr.

It turns token artifacts into a card, Treasure, and damage, making it stronger than Commander’s Sphere (55) in matching decks but not broadly universal.

Best home Treasure and token-sacrifice decksBand role-playerConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if Optimized lists may lack enough disposable tokens, and the one-shot ETB may prove too replaceable.

Limited 70 Eng.B+Usr.

Token density makes its ETB a strong value swing and Treasure spending drains, but its empty-board floor is only a 2/2.

Best home Black token-based decksBand premiumConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Draft speed, removal, and actual token density are unknown; it can be poor without fodder.

Token sacrifice payoff

“A two-mana sacrifice converter that turns spare creatures or artifacts into cards and Treasure, with token-sacrifice drain upside.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
