About Abyssal Gatekeeper
Abyssal Gatekeeper, Creature — horror, designed by Mark Tedin first released in Jun, 1997 in the set Weatherlight and was printed exactly in 4 different ways.
This card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on controlling the board by sacrificing creatures and disrupting your opponent's strategy. Decks that revolve around sacrificing creatures for value or triggering death-related abilities would find Abyssal Gatekeeper useful. However, there are more powerful options like Fleshbag Marauder or Plaguecrafter that provide similar effects with additional benefits, making them better choices in most scenarios. While Abyssal Gatekeeper may not see widespread play in competitive Magic: The Gathering decks, it can still be a solid inclusion in casual or themed decks that aim to capitalize on its sacrifice ability.
Rules

The “sacrifice a creature” effect is not targeted. It can affect creatures with protection from black, for example.
