Hi. it's my turn. Play a scavenger grounds, then pay 2 to activate it's ability. Can the opponent use ghost quarter to destroy the scavenger grounds before I could sacrifice it?
No, they could not. The cost to activate scavenger grounds is not 2, but '2, tap and sacrifice', all of which has to be paid at once. This does mean that if an opponent casts stifle or a similar effect in response, the desert is still sacrificed, even though the ability has been countered.
