Can you fetch hex parasite and keep your urza's saga on the battlefield

Asked by zobster 1 year ago

Let's say my urza's saga third chapter triggers and I fetch a hex parasite with the ability. Would I be able to activate hex parasite and keep my urza's saga alive before it sacrifices itself?

You can link cards by enclosing the name in double brackets.

Urza's Saga

Hex Parasite

This will not work as you want. The saga will be sacrificed as a SBA before any player receives priority so you will not have a chance to activate the Hex Parasite's ability targeting the saga. If you already have the Hex Parasite out you can remove the counters before the final chapter ability resolves though and keep your saga at that point.

715.4. If the number of lore counters on a Saga permanent is greater than or equal to its final chapter number, and it isn’t the source of a chapter ability that has triggered but not yet left the stack, that Saga’s controller sacrifices it. This state-based action doesn’t use the stack.
