Post by: Destore117 on December 15, 2013, 02:44:07 PM
If I play a card such as {Tribute to hunger} or {Consuming vapors} is it able to cause my opponent to sacrifice creatures with
Indestructible
Hexproof
Protection from {B}

Since you are targeting a player to sac a creature, protection does absolutely nothing cause it's not being targeted.

What if the creature had protection from its controller?  Could it still be sacrificed?

Actually, sacrificing a permanent doesn't destroy it, so sacrifice occurs whether protection or indestructible exists.

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.
