Can i sacrafice opponents creature with Fireblade Artist
Asked by boc2001 4 years ago
If i play Wrangle to take control of an opponents creature can i sacrifice it with Fireblade Artist if he was already on the field ? My question here is does Fireblade Artist effect resolve first ?

No, this will not work, for one primary reason: Wrangle is a Sorcery.
Fireblade Artist triggers at the beginning of your upkeep. You can only play sorceries during your main phase when the stack is empty.
However, if we assume you also have a Vedalken Orrery or similar effect in play and can thus cast Wrangle at instant-speed, or use instant-speed control-changing spells like Act of Aggression , then you would be able to pull this off.
What happens is that at the start of your upkeep, Fireblade Artist triggers. You don't choose if you're sacrificing a creature or not until the ability starts resolving, so you can steal your opponent's creature with a spell or ability while the Fireblade trigger is still on the stack. Then, when the Fireblade trigger resolves, you can choose to sacrifice the stolen creature.
