What happens if Quicksilver amulet is destroyed while being tapped to play a creature?
Asked by Rikon227 8 years ago
Let's say I pay 4 mana and tap Quicksilver Amulet to play some creature. My opponent then destroys/exiles my Quicksilver Amulet using an instant. Would just Quicksilver Amulet be destroyed or would the creature being put into the battlefield also be destroyed?

Found the actual rule.
112.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Destruction or removal of the source after that time wont affect the ability. Note that some abilities cause a source to do something (for example, Prodigal Pyromancer deals 1 damage to target creature or player) rather than the ability doing anything directly. In these cases, any activated or triggered ability that references information about the source because the effect needs to be divided checks that information when the ability is put onto the stack. Otherwise, it will check that information when it resolves. In both instances, if the source is no longer in the zone its expected to be in at that time, its last known information is used. The source can still perform the action even though it no longer exists.

Please link the cards in your question:
Quicksilver Amulet
Once an ability is put on the stack, it resolves independent of its source. The Amulet itself will be destroyed, but the Amulet's ability will resolve normally and you will be allowed to put a creature into play.
