4/15/2013 Players can only respond once this spell has been cast and all its costs have been paid. No one can try to destroy the creature you sacrificed to prevent you from casting this spell.
1st question
I had a game with a friend and as I was about to sacrifice 2 of my 10/10 creatures to finish the game he interrupted me and doom bladed those creatures before i can sacrifice them so clearly that was an illegal move based on the ruling above. However, there's still a bit of confusion, does this mean that he should have destroyed my creatures before I tapped my mana to cast the spell? will my spell have to resolve first before crackling doom, given that it is an instant.
2nd question
Similar situation, I cast rite of consumption to sacrifice my creature then my friend casts crackling doomto make me sacrifice that creature. Is that allowed? I know instants have more priority over sorcery spells but I just wonder if the same ruling above applies to spells causing you to sacrifice creatures.

There are a few misunderstandings here. First, "sorcery" and "instant" just dictate when you can cast a spell. An instant will not take priority over a sorcery. They will resolve in the opposite order in which they are cast (First In, Last Out).
On to your specific questions.
Scenario 1:
You can only sacrifice 1 creature to Rite of Consumption. So you can't sacrifice 2. Since you do it as part of the cost, your opponent cannot respond to you paying cost because he or she doesn't have priority to cast a spell while you are in the middle of casting a spell. So the action your opponent took is not legal because the creature they want to target is already gone when they get priority to cast a spell since you sacrificed it as part of paying the cost of Rite of Consumption.
Scenario 2:
This is basically the same thing. They can cast Crackling Doom in response to you casting Rite of Consumption, but since you already sacrificed the creature you want to sacrifice to Rite of Consumption, Crackling Doom will not have the desired effect.
Also, this question is in the wrong place. It should be in the Rulings section, not the Rumor Mill since these cards already exist (and thus are not rumors).
Thanks for the lightning fast reply! and I just registered today and mistakenly clicked the first section with the word rulings on it (sorry lol) Before I transfer the thread, one more question, can you ever use a sorcery spell in response to an instant casted on your turn by your opponent?
Sorceries can generally only be cast on your own turn, during your main phase, when the stack is empty (so no other spells or abilities are waiting to resolve). However, cards like Quicken, Leyline of Anticipation, Vedalken Orrery, Hypersonic Dragon, as well as others I can't think of right now will let you cast sorceries at times you could cast an instant.
this is the ruling for rite of consumption.
