As an additional cost...
Asked by joga 14 years ago
Am I right that my opponent can't Go for the Throat my target goblin for Goblin Grenade because as i cast goblin grenade, the goblin had already been sent to the graveyard and thus go for the throat would no longer have a target.

remember that you cannot sack or discard a card to pay for a spell that has no legal targets

Correct. All additional costs are paid prior to the spell being cast.
601.2e The player determines the total cost of the spell. Usually this is just the mana cost. Some spells have additional or alternative costs. Some effects may increase or reduce the cost to pay, or may provide other alternative costs. Costs may include paying mana, tapping permanents, sacrificing permanents, discarding cards, and so on.
601.2h Once the steps described in 601.2ag are completed, the spell becomes cast. Any abilities that trigger when a spell is cast or put onto the stack trigger at this time. If the spells controller had priority before casting it, he or she gets priority.
