Can you regenerate a sacrificed creature?
Asked by Sauron_ 9 years ago
Say that I have a Disciple of the Vault on the battlefield, and someone destroys a Cranial Plating I have. Can I then play a Welding Jar to regenerate it, then play another one and constantly regenerate each other to kill the opponent, or can I not do that?

No. Regeneration only replaces destruction, and sacrifice is not destruction.

701.12a If the effect of a resolving spell or ability regenerates a permanent, it creates a replacement effect that protects the permanent the next time it would be destroyed this turn. In this case, Regenerate [permanent] means The next time [permanent] would be destroyed this turn,instead remove all damage marked on it and tap it. If its an attacking or blocking creature, remove it from combat.
"Destroyed" has a very specific rules meaning in MTG. Spells and state based effects that use the word "destroy" destroy a permanent. Sacrificing is different and as such you can not regenerate a sacrificed permanent.
