Sacrifice vs indestructible

[Destore117]

So I got into an argument over whether using {Tribute to Hunger} on my opponent when they had only one card and it was a card with indestructible like let's say {Stuffy Doll} they were saying Sacrifice effects wouldn't work on it.

[Rasser]

Indestructible doesn't stop someone from sacrificing a creature, either does protection.

702.12b: A permanent with indestructible can't be destroyed. Such permanents aren't destroyed by lethal damage, and they ignore the state-based action that checks for lethal damage (see rule 704.5g).

Sacing, exile and -X/-X are the things that work on Indestructible.

This belongs in the rules section: but to answer the question...sac effects kill indestructible creatures...indestructible only stops destroy effects or creature damage(unless creature has wither or infect)

Here's a fun one: let's say I have a creature-d up Erebos that my opponent casts the {Tribute to Hunger} and they make me sac the Erebos. Due to his ability, would they gain the life or no?

[Destore117]

He's being sacced then you gain life so his effect wouldn't be active any more correct?

[Mlerner12]

I don't know at all

[Destore117]

He gets sacrificed first. So his effect of no life gain drops away as he travels off to Graveyard town. Then you get +7 life if you're the caster of Tribute to Hunger.

Ok, thanks

[Destore117]

Sorry I'm not good with technical terms so I can't explain it in terms of abilities and actions and when they're checked and what not

Unless you the player has protection. I think {ivory mask}

But yeah sacrafice targets players not permenants.

Burn players don't like that card lol

[Destore117]

Unless you the player has protection. I think {ivory mask}

But yeah sacrafice targets players not permenants.
