Sacrificing cards against eldrazi

Asked by gavriel1136 5 years ago

There are several cards that prevent opponent effects from forcing the player to sacrifice their own cards, such as Tajuru Preserver and Sigarda, Host of Herons. If my opponent plays Bane of Bala Ged and attacks, am I forced to exile permanents, or does it count as sacrificing them?

A permanent is only sacrificed if the word "sacrifice" is used in the the effect. Sigarda, Host of Herons will stop annihilator such as on It That Betrays but does nothing against Bane of Bala Ged.
