Can two Demonic Taskmasters sac each other?

Asked by Kodiax 9 years ago

If I have two Demonic Taskmaster s out at the same time, and upkeep rolls around. They each say to sacrifice a creature other than itself, so could I pick the other one as the target? Set DT1 to sac DT2, and DT2 to sac DT1?

Yes, you can. When a card refers to its own name, it's referring to literally only itself. You could replace the text with [This Card] and it would be functionally the same.

Please also note that you don't target anything with this ability, as it doesn't say the word "target" anywhere in it. You just choose a creature on resolution of the ability.
