Card Trivia

 The altar is in the center of Pandemonium and the monster being Tributed is Gagagigo.
There is a more versatile counterpart: Mystik Wok.
A slightly upgraded version of this card is Destruct Potion.
The altar featured in the artwork appears to be the same as the structure that Terrorking Archfiend is being raised upon by Darkbishop Archfiend in Archfiend's Roar, due to the same dark shadows that surround the structure and the metallic bone-like fragments stacked ontop of each other that end in a clean spike at the end.  Also, the red and yellow plasma background is the same as the lightning that Darkbishop Archfiend is sending from his staff to Terrorking in Archfiend's Roar.
The altar in this card's artwork is Desrook Archfiend.

Rulings

Previously Official Rulings


Sending a
monster to the Graveyard for "Altar for Tribute" is a cost.

You can select a Token Monster as the cost for "Altar for Tribute", but you won't gain any Life Points because Tokens are taken off the field instead of going to the Graveyard.

You can send your opponent's monster that you control to the Graveyard as the cost for "Altar for Tribute", and you would gain the Life Points.

Mentions in Other Rulings

Trap Monster: When “Embodiment of Apophis” is sent to the Graveyard, it is sent as a Trap Card and remains treated as a Trap Card. You would not gain Life Points for “Altar for Tribute”.
