Dauntless Escort, Leyline of Anticipation

[Leonidus78]

Sat I have say {leyline of anticipation} or a similar card out. If someone uses some wrath effect can I surprise them by flashing in {dauntless escort} and sac him to counteract his wrath so to speak.

[Maximo]

Yes. This will stop all destructo-Raths.

Good I'm glad I was testing my bant edh and came across it. What my real question is I guess is: is a sac ability like an activated ability or can it be used the turn it comes down?

Sac abilities are used at instant speed, unless stated otherwise. And yes, they are generally activated abilities, as they follow the formula of [cost]:[effect] that activated abilities follow.

Well good thanks that's cleared up
