How Phase out and "At the end of the turn sacrifice" works with each other?

Asked by pedroedmarcos 2 weeks ago

Hey there,

So, Lets say I cast a Teferi's Veil on my Ball Lightning and in the end of my turn I stack the triggers on a way that it phases out before the sac trigger resolves. Will I have to sacrifice them?

No, you won't have to sacrifice Ball Lightning to its own ability.

You don't have to stack the triggers in a special way to make this work. Teferi's Veil makes the creature phase out "at end of combat" but Ball Lightning's ability triggers "at the beginning of the end step". Because Ball Lightning is phased out by the time the turn gets to the end step, its ability won't trigger at all. Even if it was a situation with two simultaneous triggers that needed to be stacked in a specific order, if the "phase out" trigger resolves first then there's nothing around for you to sacrifice when the "sacrifice this" trigger resolves.
