Official card text
: Reveal the top card of your library. If it isn't a creature card, put it into your graveyard. Otherwise, put that card onto the battlefield. That creature gains haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.

No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If the ability is activated after the current turn’s End step has begun, the creature won’t be sacrificed until the next turn’s End step.
