Keyword reminders

Exploit. When this enters, you may sacrifice a creature (it can sacrifice itself); doing so triggers its “when this exploits a creature” ability.

Official rulings

  1. You can sacrifice the creature with exploit if it’s still on the battlefield. This will cause its other ability to trigger. (2015-02-25)
  2. A creature with exploit “exploits a creature” when the controller of the exploit ability sacrifices a creature as that ability resolves. (2015-02-25)
  3. If the creature with exploit isn’t on the battlefield as the exploit ability resolves, you won’t get any bonus from the creature with exploit, even if you sacrifice a creature. Because the creature with exploit isn’t on the battlefield, its other triggered ability won’t trigger. (2015-02-25)
  4. You can’t sacrifice more than one creature to any one exploit ability. (2015-02-25)
  5. You choose whether to sacrifice a creature and which creature to sacrifice as the exploit ability resolves. (2015-02-25)
