My friend has a couple of questions:
If I pay 1 and sacrifice my Pyrite Spellbomb to draw a card does my
Atog get it's +2/+2 ability? (I believe the answer to be yes, he
doesn't)
Can a player sacrifice a creature any time for whatever reason? My
friend doesn't believe me or maybe I'm wrong, but I believe that a
creature may be sacrificed at any time. There doesn't _need_ to be a
reason to sacrifice it, i.e. triggering Atog's ability, as he
believes. As an example, I told him that he may equip a Skullclamp to
a creature and sacrifice it to draw two cards.
Another question; When equipping Skullclamp to a 1/1 creature, can you
sacrifice the creature before the Skullclamp kills the creature by
reducing its' toughness to zero? Again I believe the answer is yes
due to the fact that Skullclamp's +1/-1 effect is on the bottom of the
stack and the sacrifice would be on top of the stack resolving first.
Thanks again for the replies.
