Can you activate multiple sacrifice abilities using specific and target creature sacrifice abilities?

Asked by RunninWahoo 9 years ago

Can sacrificing a creature to activate said creatures ability, say a Blood Pet or Gangrenous Zombies, also activate another creatures sacrifice target ability, i.e. Phyrexian Ghoul?

No.

The cost of a thing has to be paid to put that ability onto the stack. If you sacrifice Blood Pet to activate the ability of Phyrexian Ghoul, the Blood Pet is already gone before you'd have the chance to also try to activate Blood Pet's ability.

Just like you can't cast two Elvish Mystic by tapping one forest, you can't activate two abilities with one cost.
