Can I recur a creature that is currently being sacrificed on the stack
Asked by keyren 3 months ago
Not me but someone in my pod had Ziatora, the Incinerator, a Riveteers Ascendancy and Yargle and Multani on the board with a Eternal Witness in the graveyard. At end of turn they sacrificed Yargle, which triggers riverteers choosing Eternal witness as the target to bring back. Is Yargle a valid target for Eternal ? or must the stack resolve before Yargle hits the graveyard and is a valid target

This works. When something is sacrificed, it's put directly into the graveyard at that time, not at some later time. Yargle and Multani will be in the graveyard at the time Eternal Witness enters the battlefield and will be a legal target for the Witness' triggered ability.
