If you want to win with sacrifices, there are cheaper options.
The great thing is that he works with almost anything that does "something" to creatures get put in the graveyard (or removed from) and drains all opponents at once, which is better for politics (as they are all equally mad at you, not just a single person).
So if the opponent is going for a sacrifice loop, they die from it.
If some plays a discard and draw effect, like Windfall, Wheel of Fortune and the like, he drains for quite a lot.
Works quite well with stuff like Mindcrank, its not infinite, but its the kind of stuff to ooze some value here and there.
You need creatures still, so in more tuned lists milling creatures is not going to happen in high enough quantity.
In casual however its a fantastic card, especially as it does not win immediately (reasons why i dont like Blood Artist and its similar cards in casual, as they are almost useless, unless you combo win with them, which isnt particularly fun gameplay).
Generating a lot of mana is totally viable in black decks, so if you untap and go to town, the effect probably wins quickly enough.
