First off I am active player and I have feed the pack and my opponent has Reaper from the abyss.
So we enter the beginning of the end step no other creatures have died yet but I chosen to sacrifice a creature to activate the effect.
Our first question if I do sacrifice a creature since I am active player does Reaper morbid even trigger since the phase has already started
2nd question is if a creature died before this phase and I am activate player choosing to sac my creature mine will go on stack but since its not an addidtional cost to cast will reapers morbid go on stack and kill it before feed has a chance to activate or how would that Sanrio play out and if u can link the rules thanks

And just sacrificing in general if I have a creature who can sac for an effect when I sac the creature it goes on stack but is the creature already gone like could geth's verdict make me sac it first and not get effect

First situation you have to sac the creature before reaper's ability can even activate. Secod situation: if a creature died earlier in the turn and reaper activates yo can sac in response

First, at the beginning of the end step the FtP trigger will go on the stack, you don't sac a creature until it resolves.  Since no creatures died yet, the Reaper won't trigger.  Your sac trigger will resolve, and since you've already passed the beginning of the end step, the morbid will have passed it's trigger.

Second, if a creature did die, then the Reaper's morbid trigger will go on top of the FtP trigger and your opponent can destroy one of your creatures.  Pack doesn't target, so you can chose any of your creatures on resolution.  If you only had one, your SOL.

Thirdly (sneaking an extra one in there, eh? ;)), in general, unless they use a special spell (like {Sudden Shock}) you will always have a chance to respond to an ability attempting to kill a creature by using fast effects (sacrificing).  The other way, if you activate an ability that has sac in it's cost, by the time you put the ability on the stack, the creature is already in the gy.  They can stop the ability by killing a creature that's not there anymore.

Ok what about a card like goblin Granade if he casts that and sacs a goblin as part of the cost to cast it u can't geth verdict or destroy that creature in response cause it's not there anymore correct?
