Sacrifice Removal

Edict-style answers that make an opponent choose a permanent to sacrifice rather than naming a target directly. Diabolic Edict and Cruel Edict pick off a creature regardless of protection; Fleshbag Marauder and Plaguecrafter staple the effect to an enter-the-battlefield trigger; Grave Pact punishes every creature death; Smallpox extends the squeeze to lands and hands. The mechanism slips past hexproof, shroud, ward, and protection because no target is chosen on the opposing permanent. Distinct from removal.spot_removal, which names the permanent and destroys or exiles it directly. Critically, this covers cards that FORCE OPPONENTS to sacrifice as an effect; cards where YOU sacrifice your own stuff as a cost for value, like draw or treasure, are not removal and live elsewhere.
