Does sacrificing a creature cause it to die? What I mean by this is, if I sacrifice a creature due to an ability does the creature die causing an ability that says "when a creature dies..." to activate?
Thanks in advance!
I don't know how to post the link to the cards but they're Black Market and Barrage of Expendables.
{Black Market}
{barrage of expendables}
Use curly brackets.
Yes it dies in a way.
701.14a (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=701.14a): To sacrifice a permanent, its controller moves it from the battlefield directly to its owner's graveyard. A player can't sacrifice something that isn't a permanent, or something that's a permanent he or she doesn't control. Sacrificing a permanent doesn't destroy it, so regeneration or other effects that replace destruction can't affect this action.
700.4. (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=700.4.): The term dies means "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield."
"Sacrificing a permanent doesn't destroy it, "
Is the only thing that worries me.

That is because if something is indestructible, it can still be sacrificed. Hope that helps.
