Feather, “a” = target?

Asked by MLS91 1 year ago

Would Feather, the Redeemed return Victimize to hand?

legendofa says... Accepted answer #1

No, unfortunately. Victimize only targets creature cards in your graveyard. They don't count as creature permanents for Feather, the Redeemed, and the sacrifice is not a targeted effect.

If Victimize said "... Sacrifice target creature (you control)...", it would work, but I don't think there are any targeted sacrifice effects in the game.

In case it wasn't clear from legendofa's response, spells and abilities only target in MtG if they specifically use the word "target". Otherwise it is an untargeted effect.

There are a limited number of targeted sacrifice effects. Most are abilities of creatures (Arcum Dagsson, Ashling, the Extinguisher, etc.) but there is Barrin's Spite as well, so it is possible at some point that there will be something that synergizes with Feather, the Redeemed.
