Plenty of creatures have an ability that triggers when they die, but the undercosted Daemogoth Woe-Eater has a nearly unique clause that will kick in only if he's sacrificed, specifically. Sure it will serve as a consolation prize if he's sacrificed to his own upkeep cost, but is there a way to sacrifice him multiple times... while still making use of that big 7/6 body at the same time?

Well, the Woe-Eater isn't too mana-hungry, but after he dies off you can still bring him back cheaply with Apprentice Necromancer to get another swing in, then... hey, sacrifice him! Bonus! Of course, if he's destined for the chopping block anyway, you might as well get a little extra value by feeding him to Tend the Pests, Deadly Brew or High Market anyway.

Of course, the Necromancer can only be used once himself. Dawn of the Dead gives you a free reanimation every turn for the price of 1 measly life - and you can keep reanimating the same creature so long as you sacrifice it before the Dawn exiles it at the end of the turn. Still, with so many sacrifice outlets floating around, it's more likely you'll have to decide which one to use!

Newcomer Dusk Mangler also makes an excellent reanimation target, as cheating him into play sidesteps that nasty additional cost while still nailing your opponent with a mini-Cruel Ultimatum. {B}{G} may not be able to flicker him, but reanimating him again and again will quickly bury your foe!
