Can you use Devouring Swarm's ability on itself?
Asked by Ohthenoises 13 years ago
I'm looking to trigger morbid abilities in my morbid-curiosity deck and i came up to a little snag on the rulings of Devouring Swarm . can i use it on itself? I'm thinking yes due to the fact that you have to sacrifice the creature first (part of the ability's cost) but i wasn't sure.

Yes, you're allowed to do that. You can activate an ability any time you have priority and you're able to pay the costs and choose enough legal targets. Devouring Swarm 's ability doesn't give any restrictions on what creatures you're allowed to sacrifice to activate it, so feel free to go nuts.
