Title: Liliana of the Veil, Sigarda, Host of Herrons
Post by: Trunksthemighty on February 04, 2013, 02:21:48 PM
Okay say I have  {Sigarda, Host of Herons} on the field and my opponent plays  {Liliana of the Veil}. They immediately use her -2 and say I have to sac a creature. They did not notice what Sigy does. Does that force them to sac their own creature?

No. The target was their opponent. Sigarda stops it, so the ability fizzles...

RESOLVED

The ruling on sigarda says that the ability resolves but it just doesnt do anything.

2000th post ;D

Sigarda will not stop you from being targeted by a spell or ability that causes you to sac. All she does is stop the sacrificing. The same thing happens when liliana's ultimate is used. They will make the piles, you will choose one, and nothing will happen. She doesn't make you an invalid target for effects, she just makes the effects useless.

So pretty much just wasted liliana?

Yeah, basically. It would be different if Sigarda said "You can't be the target of spell or abilities that cause you to sacrifice permanents". Then they would have to target themselves (assuming its 1v1). But since that's not the case, it just wastes her ability.
