So, assuming he has no responses, and he passes priority, the ability resolves without allowing me to take any additional actions?
So I take it I have to decide first if I want to save Mangara from exile by sacing him, if I do my opponent is free to sac his creature without consequences, if I don't he must make a decision to either allow his creature to be exiled, or allow Mangara to remain on the battlefield.
Is this correct?
And this is a multiplayer game, I assume it makes little difference
Hello!
I have a question about the card Mangara of Corondor
Suppose I have a ready to activate Mangara and a sacrifice outlet out (lets say Viscera Seer) and my opponent has a creature I wish to exile, and also has a sac outlet (lets say Carrion Feeder).
Now I know that I can target his creature for exile and sacrifice my Mangara before Mangara can get exiled, sending Mangara to my graveryard and my opponents creature to exile.
I also know that if I choose not to sacrifice Mangara, and my opponent chooses to sacrifice his creature, the ability fizzles, opponents creature goes to graveyard and Mangara remains on the battlefield, tapped.
Now, how does priority work in this situation? I assume I activate Mangara, wait for a response from my opponent as to weather he wishes to sacrifice his creature to save it from exile, or if he wishes to gamble and assume I will sacrifice Mangara after he passes priority back to me, which will allow him to safely sacrifice his creature whilst insuring Mangara also leaves play (The alternative being I allow the ability to resolve, exiling both creatures).
I have another question, the staff gets tapped, adding 1 damage directed at a creature to the stack, then sydris first and second abilities get activated (also going on the stack I assume), then the staff gets destroyed in response to the abilities of sydri going on the stack.
Would the creature die? Or would you need to activate sydris abilities again for the creature to die?
Ok, so I take it that even if the staff isn't on the battlefield when the damage resolves, the fact that the staff had lifelink and deathtouch when it was last on the battlefield means that the damage will still kill a creature and cause me to gain one life.
Now if Staff of nin were to get exiled before it resolved, would it still kill a creature?
I mean if it can put non-deathtouch damage on the stack, then have the damage source gain deathtouch, causing the damage done to be deathtouch, then would the damage lose deathtouch (and lifelink) if the source got exiled before the damage resolves?
Logicly it would seems so but there's probably some rule indicating the last state of the card when it was on the battlefield, anyway I can't seem to find the answer to this question on my own and any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Thank you for answering my question.

That you can tap Staff of nin after casting it to put it's 1 damage on the stack, then animate it and give it lifelink and deathtouch with Sydri, Galvanic Genius afterwards to kill a creature (The idea being Staff of nin doesn't need haste, it taps before becoming a creature).
Now if Staff of nin were to get exiled before it resolved, would it still kill a creature?
