Rulings
Barter in Blood doesn’t target any creatures and may be cast even if a player controls fewer than two creatures.
If a player controls only one creature, that creature is sacrificed.
The active player chooses which creatures will be sacrificed first, then each other player in turn order does the same. Then all creatures are sacrificed simultaneously.
