Say I have a 3/3 flying creature and my opponent has a butcher of the horde. Opponent sacrifice a creature for butcher of the horde to gain lifelink then attacks. My 3/3 flying creature blocks butcher. So does my opponent gain 5 life or since my creature's toughness is only 3, that would mean that the butcher only dealt 3 damage to it. (butcher has no trample)
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.
this is the ruling for rite of consumption.
