why would Shaw sacrifice a pureblood when a Muggle-born would work just as well?

Yeah, that was what I kept coming back to. Really, the only basis I had for that conclusion was that Shaw did put the black lotus mark on Scorpius, but it did seem like a pretty straightforward case of "will this spell not kill the people I don't want it to kill?" testing. So it wouldn't have made much sense for Shaw to then turn around and kill him once he's established that Scorpius is part of his "gets to live" group.
