Can an exploit also pay the price of "sacrifice a creature"?
Asked by Quarston 6 years ago
If exploiting a creature is sacrificing it, can I use that sacrifice to pay the price of another ability?To be more specific, I have a creature with exploit, Qarsi Sadist, and a card with an ability that has a cost of sacrificing a creature, Vampiric Rites. Can I summon Qarsi Sadist, exploit a creature, and then, as that exploit resolves, activate the ability of Vampiric Rites, and sacrifice the same creature, essentially using one sacrifice to pay the price of both abilities?

Even if the abilities did go to the stack it wouldn't be possible as once you chose to exploit priority passes to your opponent and if they pass priority the exploit would have to resolve before you could attempt to sac.

In regards to oloro_magic's comment. You can retain priority , and as such activate something over and over (if possible) before passing priority.
Just felt like that should be made clear. The accepted answer however, is correct and my comment doesn't relate to it. ;)

No, as both are payments for the abilities. And are paid prior to it going on the stack. And each requires a sacrifice be made, and payments are made before anyone gets a chance to respond. Ie you can't respond to someone sacrificing anything as a payment
