Is Slicer's "Can't Be Sacrificed" Removable?

Asked by Delphen7 2 years ago

Say an opponent starts their turn. Slicer, Hired Muscle  Flip triggers (and resolves), and I choose to donate him. As a result the following happens: "goad it, and it can't be sacrificed this turn."

Some player resolves Dress Down, causing Slicer loses all abilities.

Assuming he gains haste again:

  • Is he still goaded?
  • Can he now be sacrificed?

Do either of these answers change if the opponent casts Dress Down in response to Slicer's donate trigger?

Both goading and the "can't be sacrificed" are effects from the ability resolving, not abilities given to the creature. They will not be removed by Dress Down. The goading and the "can't be sacrificed" are part of the donate ability. Once the ability is on the stack, removing the ability from the creature won't stop it from resolving.

Gidgetimer Excellent. That's what I thought but wanted to make sure.
