Does Eternal Thirst trigger if I cast Act Of Treason + sac?

Asked by Comfordor 10 years ago

If I were to cast Eternal Thirst onto Butcher of the Horde .Then cast Act of Treason to take control of opponents creature, If I were to sac that creature, would Eternal Thirst trigger??

I do hope it will trigger, but it does not sound right.

Can someone please clear this up for me?

Eternal Thirst reads: "Whenever a create an opponent controls...". This means that your opponent would have to be controlling the creature when it would die. Since Act of Treason makes you the controller of the creature until the end of the turn, sacrificing it would not trigger Eternal Thirst because it's not under the opponent's control.
