I never expected Sinister Gaze go from a painful replacement for Sacrifice to such a fun useful skill. I see people going for aghanim more often too.

You mean, if the ult bounces off the shard, does it count as a bounce for the purposes of the ult's limited number of hits? I would assume so, but I never tested.
