Protection from Sacrafice?

[imreallyagoodman]

Hey guys,

If a player plays a spell or ability that makes opponents Sacrafice a creature, can that be prevented by me ( an opponent ) giving myself protection from the color of that originating spell or ability.

Also, would spells or abilities work different?

I am using  {Seht's Tiger} to gain protection.

Hey guys,

Your answers do help.

In my particular situation the card was opponents Sacrafice a creature. So the cat would not stop it then?

Should of added this.

The other player is  {Butcher of Malakir} . I want to flash in  {Seht's Tiger} to not be "targeted". Does this work?

It will not, I'm afraid. The Butcher's ability does not target anything, so protection will not help.

It'll save you from liliana cause it says "target"

Thanks guys! Super helpful

Lilians says "target player sacs a creature". Your cat would save you from this.
