Demonic Pact?
Asked by EmoKittyKisses 9 years ago
If I have Demonic Pacts first ability go on the stack, and it leaves play before the ability resolves, do I still get the ability or does it fizzle since the card references itself?
I realize this may sound like a simple question with an easy answer, but I've never known about this kind of thing.

A spell or ability only fizzles if it requires targets and all of the targets chosen for it are illegal at the time the ability would resolve.
With Demonic Pact the ability won't fizzle if Demonic Pact itself leaves the battlefield.
When Demonic Pact's ability is put onto the stack, you announce which mode you're choosing. If you choose a mode that has a target and that target becomes illegal before the ability resolves, then the ability fizzles. Note that this means you can't choose that mode again even though the ability never resolved when it was chosen.

Abilities exist independent of their sources so after it triggers it doesn't matter what happens to Demonic Pact. If you bounce it with Chain of Vapor the ability will still resolve like normal..
TL;DR - It will still happen like normal.
