You do need to make sure you don't have a high curve and/or some ways to gain life, but the fact you get these two bodies that draw you cards means even one removal spell isn't going to prevent you from outcarding your opponent

Im really high on the set from a Commander perspective, it has to be said

Start with the amount of damage being dealt to the creature and determine what is "lethal." This is usually the creature's toughness minus the amount of damage that it already has marked on it, but ignoring any replacement or prevention effects that will modify this damage

Ideally it trades off with something in combat before you sacrifice it, but if you can set it up so you draw a card from the third chapter ability, thats still a reasonable shout
