Epochalyptik on Goblin Bombardment vs. Inferno Trap

@Raging_Squiggle: Split second wouldn't help. You still need priority to cast a spell with split second; if you activate Goblin Bombardment's ability before passing priority to your opponent, then he or she can't do anything about the sacrifice.

What your opponent can do, however, is cast Inferno Trap in response to Goblin Bombardment, meaning before Goblin Bombardment resolves. This will kill your creature before you have a chance to activate Goblin Bombardment's ability.

At the beginning of my declare attackers phase, my opponent had 5 life. I attacked with Mardu Heart-Piercer, and he chose not to defend, dropping to 3 life. In my second main phase, I played Arc Trail, which he could not respond to, dropping him to 1 life and killing one of his creatures. I then played the enchantment Goblin Bombardment.

My opponent had Inferno Trap in his hand. Can he use it to kill Mardu (my only creature) before I use it to pay the cost for the enchantment to finish him off? I'm having issues following when he gets priority I'm this situation.
