How would skullclamp interact with a sac outlet?

Asked by Mac97 8 years ago

If I equip a Skullclamp to a Sakura-Tribe Elder. What order would it have to happen in order for me to draw 2 cards and tutor for a basic land? Is this even possible to do?

You would have to increase the Elder's Toughness by at least one, otherwise it'd die as a state-based action immediately after Skullclamp is equipped for having 0 toughness.

Assuming it has 2+ toughness and you have Skullclamp equipped, sacrificing it to its own ability will cause Skullclamp to trigger. Note that Skullclamp's trigger will be on the stack on top of the Elder's, since abilities that trigger during the casting of a spell or activation or trigger of another ability will always go onto the stack after whatever triggered it. You would draw the two cards and then search for a basic land.
