Myr Moonvessel and Sac spells
Asked by sergiodelrio 3 years ago
So, I'm having trouble to find a definitive answer here:
I want to cast Shrapnel Blast and have a Myr Moonvessel in play, so far so good.
Since I can pay costs in any order (601.2h), I choose to sac the Moonvessel first. It's ability is a mana ability (?) and does not use the stack (?), so I can use to pay for Shrapnel Blast and only need another ... right?
Doesn't feel right somehow tho. Am I mistaken here?

The mistake is that Myr Moonvessel 's ability is not a mana ability, so it will wait to be put on the stack until after you finish paying the costs for Shrapnel Blast .
605.1b A triggered ability is a mana ability if it meets all of the following criteria: it doesn't require a target (see rule 115.6), it triggers from the resolution of an activated mana ability (see rule 605.1a) or from mana being added to a player's mana pool, and it could add mana to a player's mana pool when it resolves.
Because the trigger condition is Myr Moonvessel dying it doesn't qualify as a mana ability.
