Can we get a thread going discussing the better sacrifice outlets in the format? I'm only interested in highlighting FREE sacrifice outlets (i.e. Ashnod's Altar, High Market, Goblin Bombardment) not sacrifice outlets that cost mana, even if they are powerful (i.e. Attrition, Birthing Pod).
I want to build a deck using Threaten effects led by Keranos, God of Storms, so I am primarily interested in UR and colorless sacrifice outlets. However, feel free to list other free sacrifice outlets in other colors (i.e. Viscera Seer, Carrion Feeder) in case people brewing decks with other colors want to refer to this thread as a resource.
Another good commander for a steal and sac type deck is Marchesa, the Black Rose. If you steal something and use her ability to give it a counter when it attacks, if the creature does die that turn (i.e. by you sacrificing it) it comes back into play under your control at the end of the turn and you keep it.
I'm just surprised Viscera Seer is almost $2.00 (edit: only for the Commander 2013 version, the other is about $1.00). It's a great card, though, and one I run in most black decks just due to its versatility as both a sacrifice outlet and a way to dig deeper for a key card.
Quote me for replies.

Culling Dais - Slow, but nice to have a sac outlet and a late-game card draw all in one.
Falkenrath Aristocrat - The other practical aristocrat. At least flying and haste gets through for damage, and it can stick around longer if it has a steady supply of bodies.
Grimgrin, Corpse-Born - Crazy good zombie lord, gets big fast, always a must-answer threat.
Sadistic Hypnotist - Meh, free Mind Rot per sacrifice is good against certain opponents.
Tooth and Claw - If you can manage to get your sacrifice targets in twos, this is useful. This is more the kind of card I run in a build with cheap token engines to upgrade the tokens.

Obviously you can't use Viscera Seer, but some others to consider in U/R are Thermopod, Blasting Station, Altar of Dementia, Bloodshot Cyclops, and Culling Dais.
Also, consider Bazaar Trader to maintain permanent control of stuff. Cold Storage and Synod Sanctum can also do this, but they cost mana.

How is a sacoutlet costing as much as Claws of Gix or Birthing Pod (minus the life)to activate free?
Greater Good is insanely strong in any deck playing somewhat large critters. Phyrexian Tower only takes a landslot and is a mana ability so you can sac a creature someone tries to Take Possession or Word of seizing
