Supernatural Stamina's effect works only once. If the targeted creature dies and is then returned to the battlefield, it's considered to be a new creature. If that new creature dies, it won't come back a second time.
As the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature or planeswalker they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures and/or planeswalkers are sacrificed at the same time.
Demon's Disciple can be the creature sacrificed for its own ability.
If an effect puts this land onto the battlefield tapped, you may pay 2 life, but it still enters tapped.
Unlike most dual lands, this land has two basic land types. It's not basic, so cards such as District Guide can't find it, but it does have the appropriate land types for effects such as that of Drowned Catacomb (from the Ixalan set).
If a creature enters the battlefield under your control and gains haste, but then loses it before attacking, it won't be able to attack that turn. This means that you can't use one Swiftfoot Boots to allow two new creatures to attack in the same turn.
Equipped creature has hexproof and haste. (It can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control. It can attack and no matter when it came under your control.)
Equip (: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)
If an opponent has multiple creatures and/or planeswalkers tied for the greatest mana value, that player chooses which one to sacrifice.
Starting with the next opponent in turn order (or, if you cast Flare of Malice on an opponent's turn, starting with the opponent whose turn it is) and proceeding in turn order, each opponent chooses a creature or planeswalker with the greatest mana value among creatures and planeswalkers they control to sacrifice. Then those permanents are sacrificed at the same time.
You maysacrificea nontoken black creature rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Each opponent sacrifices a creature or planeswalker with the greatest mana value among creatures and planeswalkers they control.
After a spell with split second resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), players may again cast spells and activate abilities before the next object on the stack resolves.
Casting a spell with split second won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can't be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.
Players may turn face-down creatures face up while a spell with split second is on the stack.
Players still get priority while a card with split second is on the stack; their options are just limited to mana abilities and certain special actions.
Split second doesn't stop triggered abilities from triggering, such as that of Chalice of the Void. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal
Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't cast spells or activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.)
Target player sacrifices a creature of their choice.
If Yahenni and a creature an opponent controls die simultaneously (perhaps because they fought or were in combat together), Yahenni won't be on the battlefield as its triggered ability resolves. It can't be saved by the +1/+1 counter that would have been put on it.
Haste
Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, put a +1/+1counteron Yahenni.
Sacrifice another creature: Yahenni gains indestructible until end of turn.
Activating a card's unearth ability isn't the same as casting that card. The unearth ability is put on the stack, but the card is not. Spells and abilities that interact with activated abilities (such as Defabricate's second mode) will interact with unearth, but spells and abilities that interact with spells (such as Scatter Ray) will not.
At the beginning of the next end step, a permanent returned to the battlefield with unearth is exiled. This is a delayed triggered ability, and it can be countered by effects such as Defabricate that counter triggered abilities. If the ability is countered, the permanent will stay on the battlefield and the delayed triggered ability won't trigger again. However, the replacement effect will still exile the permanent if it eventually leaves the battlefield.
Despite the appearance of the reminder text, the unearth abilities that Mishra, Tamer of Mak Fawa grants are activated abilities of each individual artifact card in your graveyard. They're not activated abilities of Mishra.
If a permanent returned to the battlefield with unearth would leave the battlefield for any reason, it's exiled instead—unless the spell or ability that's causing the permanent to leave the battlefield is actually trying to exile it! In that case, it succeeds at exiling it. If that spell or ability later returns the card to the battlefield (as Static Net might, for example), the permanent card will return to the battlefield as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The unearth effects will no longer apply to it.
If you activate a card's unearth ability but that card is removed from your graveyard before the ability resolves, that unearth ability will do nothing as it resolves.
Unearth grants haste to the permanent that's returned to the battlefield (even if it's not a creature card). However, neither of the "exile" abilities is granted to that permanent. If that permanent loses all its abilities, it will still be exiled at the beginning of the next end step, and if it would leave the battlefield, it is still exiled instead.
Permanents you control have "Ward—Sacrifice a permanent."
Each artifact card in your graveyard has unearth . (: Return the card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step or if it would leave the battlefield. Unearth only as a sorcery.)

If a Swamp or Mountain is entering the battlefield from your hand at the same time as Foreboding Ruins, you may reveal the other land to have Foreboding Ruins enter untapped.
If an effect instructs you to put Foreboding Ruins onto the battlefield tapped, it will still enter the battlefield tapped even if you reveal a land card from your hand.
Lands don't have a subtype just because they can produce mana of the corresponding color. Foreboding Ruins itself is neither a Swamp nor a Mountain, even though it produces black and red mana, so you can't reveal one to satisfy the ability of another.
You may reveal any land card with either or both of the appropriate subtypes. It doesn't have to be a basic land. For example, you could reveal Sunken Hollow from the Battle for Zendikar set to satisfy the ability of Foreboding Ruins.
As Mire in Misery resolves, first the next opponent in turn order (or, if it’s an opponent’s turn, the opponent whose turn it is) chooses a creature or an enchantment they control, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen permanents are sacrificed at the same time.
Your opponents choose what to sacrifice from among the creatures and enchantments they control. This means that you don’t decide which type of permanent a player sacrifices, and a player can’t choose to sacrifice an enchantment if they control none.
If the target creature is a token, the ability still triggers when it dies. Its controller won't return the token to the battlefield, but they will creature a Treasure token.
The Treasure token is created by the creature's controller, who may be different from Fake Your Own Death's controller and may be different from the creature's owner.
Until end of turn, target creature gets +2/+0 and gains "When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control and you create a Treasure token." (It's an artifact with ",Sacrificethis token: Add one mana of any color.")
If a player sacrifices a creature for any other reason (perhaps because it's a Food and the player was hungry), Clackbridge Troll's ability won't tap it or cause you to gain life or draw a card.
When Clackbridge Troll's last ability resolves, the next opponent in turn order chooses whether they want to sacrifice a creature at all and which creature to sacrifice if so, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time. If one or more creatures were sacrificed this way, Clackbridge Troll is tapped and you gain 3 life and draw a card—you don't gain more life or draw more cards if more than one creature was sacrificed.
Trample, haste
When this creature enters, target opponent creates three 0/1 white Goat creature tokens.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, any opponent maysacrificea creature of their choice. If a player does, tap this creature, you gain 3 life, and you draw a card.
Until end of turn, target creature gains "When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control with a +1/+1counteron it."
If the target creature or enchantment is an illegal target as Withering Torment tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't lose life.
If the permanent that you sacrifice as you resolve Braids's triggered ability has more than one card type, each opponent may choose to sacrifice any permanent they control that shares any card type with it. For example, if the permanent you sacrifice is an artifact creature, one opponent might choose to sacrifice an artifact and another opponent might choose to sacrifice a creature.
At the beginning of your end step, you maysacrificean artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker. If you do, each opponent maysacrificea permanent of their choice that shares a card type with it. For each opponent who doesn't, that player loses 2 life and you draw a card.
Annihilator abilities trigger and resolve during the declare attackers step. The defending player chooses and sacrifices the required number of permanents before they declare blockers. Any creatures sacrificed this way won't be able to block.
If a creature with annihilator is attacking a planeswalker, and the defending player chooses to sacrifice that planeswalker, the attacking creature continues to attack. It may be blocked. If it isn't blocked, it simply won't deal combat damage to anything.
If a replacement effect, such as that of Rest in Peace, causes a sacrificed nontoken permanent to be put into a different public zone than a graveyard, the last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace will still trigger and you will still put the card onto the battlefield under your control if its original controller doesn't pay 3 life.
If an opponent sacrifices a nontoken permanent, it doesn't matter which graveyard it goes to. The last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace will trigger.
If an opponent sacrifices a nontoken permanent as part of paying the cost of a spell or ability, the last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace will trigger and go on the stack on top of that spell or ability. The ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace will resolve before that spell or ability.
If the card leaves the graveyard before the last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace resolves, the opponent will still have the option to pay 3 life. Regardless of their choice, you can't put the card onto the battlefield, even if it returns to the graveyard before the ability resolves.
If you put an Aura on the battlefield using the last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace, you choose what the Aura will enchant just before it enters the battlefield. An Aura put onto the battlefield this way doesn't target the player or permanent it will enchant, so permanents or players with hexproof may be chosen; however, the chosen recipient must be able to legally be enchanted by the Aura, so a player or permanent with protection from one of the Aura's qualities can't be chosen this way. If there's nothing legal for the Aura to enchant, it stays in the graveyard.
The last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace triggers whenever an opponent sacrifices a nontoken permanent for any reason, not just due to the annihilator ability.
Equipped creature has menace, deathtouch, annihilator 1, and "Whenever an opponent sacrifices a nontoken permanent, put that card onto the battlefield under your control unless that player pays 3 life." (Whenever a creature with annihilator 1 attacks, defending player sacrifices a permanent of their choice.)
Equip
Scry appears on some spells and abilities with one or more targets. If all of the spell or ability's targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't scry.
When you scry, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards on the bottom of your library, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them on the bottom.
You choose how to order cards returned to your library after scrying no matter where you put them.
You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, that means you'll scry last. For others, that means you'll scry and then perform other actions.
If a spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you choose the value of X before calculating the spell's total cost.
If there are additional costs to cast a spell, or if the cost to cast a spell is increased by an effect (such as the one created by Thalia, Guardian of Thraben's ability), apply those increases before applying cost reductions.
The ability can't reduce the amount of colored mana you pay for a spell. It reduces only the generic mana component of that cost.
The ability doesn't change the mana cost or mana value of any spell. It changes only the total cost you pay.
The cost reduction can apply to alternative costs such as flashback costs.

If a creature enters the battlefield under your control and gains haste, but then loses it before attacking, it won't be able to attack that turn. This means that you can't use one Lightning Greaves to allow two new creatures to attack in the same turn.
You can't simply unequip Equipment from a creature. If Lightning Greaves is attached to the only creature you control, you won't be able to attach other equipment to it (or target it with anything else) until you have another creature onto which you can move Lightning Greaves.
If Pitiless Plunderer dies at the same time as one or more other creatures you control, its ability will still trigger for each of those other creatures.
Choose one —
• Target player sacrifices an artifact of their choice.
• Target player sacrifices a creature of their choice.
• Target player sacrifices a planeswalker of their choice.
A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren’t permanents.
If you cast a spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city’s blessing.
If you control ten permanents but don’t control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of one, then cast Golden Demise, you won’t have the city’s blessing and the spell will affect creatures you control.
If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the “Legend Rule” or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city’s blessing before it leaves the battlefield.
Once you have the city’s blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all of your permanents. The city’s blessing isn’t a permanent itself and can’t be removed by any effect.
When Vona’s Hunger resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature or creatures they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time. Players will know choices made by earlier players when making their choices.
Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)
Each opponent sacrifices a creature of their choice. If you have the city's blessing, instead each opponent sacrifices half the creatures they control of their choice, rounded up.
If Rite of the Raging Storm leaves the battlefield before attackers are declared, creatures named Lightning Rager can attack you or planeswalkers you control.
The tokens aren't named Elemental. They are named only Lightning Rager. The rule that says a token's name is its creature types applies only if the tokens aren't given a name by the effect that creates them.
Creatures named Lightning Rager can't attack you or planeswalkers you control.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player creates a 5/1 red Elemental creature token named Lightning Rager. It has trample, haste, and "At the beginning of the end step,sacrificethis token."

After a spell with split second resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), players may again cast spells and activate abilities before the next object on the stack resolves.
Casting a spell with split second won’t affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can’t be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.
If you choose just one target for V.A.T.S., that creature will be destroyed when V.A.T.S. resolves as long as it’s still a legal target, regardless of whether or not its toughness has changed since V.A.T.S. was cast.
In the rare case where the legal targets no longer all have equal toughness (probably because of a triggered ability or special action) when V.A.T.S. tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. None of the chosen creatures will be destroyed.
Players may turn face-down creatures face up while a spell with split second is on the stack.
Players still get priority while a spell with split second is on the stack; their options are just limited to mana abilities and certain special actions.
Split second doesn’t stop triggered abilities from triggering. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal.
Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't cast spells or activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.)
Choose any number of target creatures with equal toughness.Destroythe chosen creatures.
Each additional cost and associated mode in the text box is also preceded with a + indicator. These symbols also have no rules meaning and serve only to remind players that the listed costs are additional costs.
If a mode requires a target, you can select that mode only if there’s a legal target available. Ignore the targeting requirements for modes you don’t choose.
If a spell with spree is copied, the effect that creates the copy may allow you to choose new targets. You cannot choose new modes.
If all targets for the chosen modes become illegal before a spell with spree resolves, the spell won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. If at least one target is still legal, the spell will resolve but will have no effect on any illegal targets.
If an effect allows you to cast a spell with spree “without paying its mana cost,” you must still choose at least one mode and pay the associated additional costs.
Like the effects of all modal spells, Rush of Dread’s effects happen in order. If the first two modes target different opponents, the opponent targeted by the second mode will see what the first opponent sacrificed before choosing what to discard.
No matter which modes you choose, you always follow the instructions in the order they are written.
No player can cast spells or activate abilities in between the modes of a resolving spell. Any abilities that trigger won’t be put onto the stack until the spell is done resolving.
Spells with spree have a + (plus sign) indicator in the upper right corner of the card frame. This has no rules meaning and serves only to remind players that at least one additional cost is required to cast the spell.
The mana value of a spell with spree is determined only by its mana cost (in the upper right corner of the card). It doesn’t matter which modes you choose or which additional costs you pay, including any additional costs imposed by other effects.
You can’t choose the same mode more than once.
You choose the modes as you cast the spell with spree. Once modes are chosen, they can’t be changed.
You must choose at least one of the listed modes and pay its associated additional cost in order to cast a spell with spree.
Spree (Choose one or more additional costs.)
+ — Target opponent sacrifices half the creatures they control of their choice, rounded up.
+ — Target opponent discards half the cards in their hand, rounded up.
+ — Target opponent loses half their life, rounded up.
Each opponent separates the creatures they control into two piles. For each opponent, you choose one of their piles. Each opponent sacrifices the creatures in their chosen pile. (Piles can be empty.)
A player may choose to pay life for some creatures and sacrifice the rest. It’s not an all-or-nothing decision.
First, the active player chooses whether to pay X life for each creature they control. Then each other player in turn order chooses for their creatures. Then each player pays life and sacrifices creatures at the same time. Players will know the decisions of players who chose before them.
If you can’t sacrifice a creature (perhaps because of Sigarda, Host of Herons), you can choose not to pay life and nothing will happen.
As an additional cost to cast this spell,sacrificean artifact or creature.
Draw two cards and create a Treasure token. (It's an artifact with ",Sacrificethis token: Add one mana of any color.")
If evidence was collected and an opponent has multiple creatures tied for the greatest power, that player chooses which one to sacrifice.
If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.
Starting with the next opponent in turn order (or, if you cast Extract a Confession on an opponent's turn, starting with the opponent whose turn it is) and proceeding in turn order, each opponent chooses a creature they control to sacrifice. Then those creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 6. (Exile cards with total mana value 6 or greater from your graveyard.)
Each opponent sacrifices a creature of their choice. If evidence was collected, instead each opponent sacrifices a creature with the greatest power among creatures they control.
If another effect modifies how much damage a source would deal, including preventing some of it, the player being dealt damage or the controller of the permanent being dealt damage chooses an order in which to apply those effects. If all of the damage is prevented, Rankle and Torbran’s effect no longer applies.
The additional 2 damage is dealt by the same source as the original source of damage. The damage isn’t dealt by Rankle and Torbran unless Rankle and Torbran is the original source of damage.
To resolve the second mode, starting with you (or, in unusual cases, the player whose turn it is if not you) and proceeding in turn order, each player chooses a creature they control to sacrifice. Then those creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
You may choose none of the modes, some of them, or all of them. Any modes chosen will happen in order.

Whenever Rankle and Torbran deals combat damage to a player or battle, choose any number —

If multiple creatures you control (possibly including Butcher of Malakir itself) are put into their owners' graveyards at the same time, Butcher of Malakir's triggered ability will trigger that many times.
If you and an opponent each control a Butcher of Malakir and a creature is put into a graveyard, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of one player's Butcher will trigger, causing each opponent to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Butcher to trigger, and so on.
If you control more than one Butcher of Malakir and a creature you control is put into a graveyard, each of those Butchers' abilities will trigger. Each opponent will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
Friends perform their specified actions before foes. This means that a friend’s action may cause a triggered ability of a foe’s permanent to trigger before that foe’s action causes that permanent to leave the battlefield.
Players can’t take actions in between the time that friends perform their actions and the time that foes perform theirs. If any abilities trigger from friends performing actions, those triggers won’t be put onto the stack until the foes perform their actions and the spell finishes resolving.
The designation of friend or foe is only relevant to the spell that asks you to choose. A player you call your friend doesn’t become your teammate, and the next “friend or foe” spell you cast could name that player your foe.
When Virtus’s Maneuver resolves and you choose friend or foe, first the next friend in turn order (or, if it’s a friend’s turn, that friend) chooses a creature card in their graveyard, then each other friend in turn order does the same, then each of those players return those cards to their hands at the same time. Friends will know choices made by earlier players when making their choices. Repeat this process for foes, who choose a creature one at a time and then sacrifice them all at the same time.
You make this choice for yourself as well as each other player. In some rare cases, you may wish to call yourself (or your teammate in a Two-Headed Giant game) a foe. You can do that.
You may call a player a friend or a foe even if that player will be instructed to perform an impossible action. For example, for Regna’s Sanction, a foe may control no untapped creatures.
For each player, choose friend or foe. Each friend returns a creature card from their graveyard to their hand. Each foe sacrifices a creature of their choice.
A permanent can have multiple Roles attached to it if each one is controlled by a different player.
Cards in the Wilds of Eldraine main set create six different Role tokens: Cursed, Monster, Royal, Sorcerer, Wicked, and Young Hero. A seventh Role token, Virtuous, is created by Ellivere of the Wild Court, the commander of the "Virtue and Valor" Commander Deck.
Hexproof and shroud won't prevent a Role from becoming attached to a permanent if the ability creating that Role attached to that permanent doesn't target it.
If a permanent has more than one Role attached to it controlled by the same player, each of those Roles except the one with the most recent timestamp is put into its owner's graveyard. This is a state-based action.
If multiple creatures return to the battlefield (possibly because Not Dead After All targeted a melded permanent), a Wicked Role token will be created attached to each of them.
If the creature doesn't return to the battlefield or returns as a noncreature permanent, the Wicked Role token won't be created.
If two or more Roles controlled by the same player become attached to a permanent at the same time (perhaps due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), that player chooses which one to keep and which are put into their owners' graveyards.
In rare cases, a spell or ability might attempt to create a Role token enchanting a permanent that it can't legally enchant (because of an ability like protection from enchantments). In such cases, the Role token isn't created.
Roles are colorless enchantment tokens. Each one has the Aura and Role subtypes and the enchant creature ability.
Some spells and abilities that create Role tokens require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. The Role token won't be created.
Until end of turn, target creature you control gains "When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control, then create a Wicked Role token attached to it." (Enchanted creature gets +1/+1. When this token is put into a graveyard, each opponent loses 1 life.)
Each opponent in turn order may choose to sacrifice a creature, even if an opponent already chose to sacrifice a creature that combat. Desecration Demon will have a maximum of one +1/+1 counter put on it each combat, no matter how many creatures were sacrificed.
Players won't know which player, planeswalker, or battle Desecration Demon will attack, if any, when deciding whether to sacrifice a creature.
Flying
At the beginning of each combat, any opponent maysacrificea creature of their choice. If a player does, tap this creature and put a +1/+1counteron it.
Until end of turn, target creature gains "When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control with a +1/+1counteron it."
If an effect such as that of Magus of the Moon causes Urborg to lose its abilities by setting it to a basic land type not in addition to its other types, it won't turn lands into Swamps, no matter in what order those effects started to apply.
Land cards not on the battlefield aren't Swamps while Urborg is on the battlefield.
Urborg's ability causes each land on the battlefield to have the land type Swamp. Any land that's a Swamp has the ability "{T}: Add {B}." Nothing else changes about those lands, including their names, other subtypes, other abilities, and whether they're legendary, basic, or snow.
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth isn't a Swamp while it's not on the battlefield.
If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Dictate of Erebos's triggered ability will trigger that many times.
If you and an opponent each control a Dictate of Erebos and a creature dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of one player's Dictate of Erebos will trigger, causing each opponent to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Dictate of Erebos to trigger, and so on.
If you control more than one Dictate of Erebos and a creature you control dies, each of the triggered abilities will trigger. Each opponent will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
None of the opponents are targeted. An opponent with hexproof would still sacrifice a creature.
When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
When this creature enters, each opponent creates a 1/1 white Human creature token.
Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, put a +1/+1counteron this creature.
If one or more creatures you control die at the same time that Bastion of Remembrance leaves the battlefield, its last ability triggers for each of those creatures.
If your life total is brought to 0 or less at the same time that creatures you control are dealt lethal damage, you lose the game before the last ability goes on the stack.
In a Two-Headed Giant game, Bastion of Remembrance's last ability causes the opposing team to lose 2 life and you to gain 1 life.
When this enchantment enters, create a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token.
Whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
Although players may respond to Blasphemous Act once it's been cast, once it's announced, they can't respond before the cost is calculated and paid.
Blasphemous Act's ability can't reduce the total cost to cast the spell below {R}.
The total cost to cast Blasphemous Act is locked in before you pay that cost. For example, if there are three creatures on the battlefield, including one you can sacrifice to add {C}, the total cost of Blasphemous Act is {5}{R}. Then you can sacrifice the creature when you activate mana abilities just before paying the cost.
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Blasphemous Act). The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
If a player copies Fatal Grudge, the characteristics of the permanent that was sacrificed to pay for the original spell are used to determine which permanents each opponent may choose.
If an effect allows a player to cast Fatal Grudge without paying its mana cost, that player must still pay the additional cost of sacrificing a nonland permanent.
As an additional cost to cast this spell,sacrificea nonland permanent.
Each opponent chooses a permanent they control that shares a card type with the sacrificed permanent and sacrifices it.

Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
If death gets more votes, each opponent chooses and sacrifices a creature they control. None of these creatures are targeted. An opponent could sacrifice a creature with protection from black, for example.
No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
Players can't do anything after they finish voting but before the spell or ability that included the vote finishes resolving.
The phrase "the vote is tied" refers only to when there is more than one choice that received the most votes. For example, if a 5-player vote from among three different choices ends 3 votes to 1 vote to 1 vote, the vote isn't tied.
You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.
Will of the council — Starting with you, each player votes for death or torture. If death gets more votes, each opponent sacrifices a creature of their choice. If torture gets more votes or the vote is tied, each opponent loses 4 life.
Roll a d20.
1—9 | Choose an opponent. That player sacrifices a creature of their choice.

A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card. Tokens are not cards, and while tokens are put into the graveyard before ceasing to exist, that action doesn't count as a player having descended.
Abilities that begin with "At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn" will trigger only once during your end step, no matter how many times you descended this turn. However, if you haven't descended this turn as your end step begins, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to put a permanent card into your graveyard during the end step in time to have the ability trigger.
An opponent with zero cards in hand can't choose to discard a card. Similarly, an opponent with no permanents can't choose to sacrifice a permanent.
In either case, it doesn't matter if those cards are still in that player's graveyard.
Multiple cards have abilities that begin with "At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn." These cards don't need to have been under your control at the time you descended. For example, if a permanent card is put into your graveyard during your first main phase and you cast Stalactite Stalker your second main phase, its ability will trigger at the beginning of your end step.
Some cards refer to a player who has "descended this turn." This means that a permanent card has been put into that player's graveyard from anywhere this turn.
Some cards refer to the number of times a player descended this turn. Those cards care about the number of permanent cards put into that player's graveyard from anywhere this turn.

At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn, each opponent maydiscarda card orsacrificea permanent of their choice. Zoyowa deals 3 damage to each opponent who didn't. (You descended if a permanent card was put into your graveyard from anywhere.)
If the enchanted creature is dealt lethal damage at the same time as a creature an opponent controls, they’re destroyed at the same time. It won’t receive a +1/+1 counter from its ability in time to save it.
Multiple instances of lifelink on the same creature are redundant.
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has lifelink and "Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, put a +1/+1counteron this creature." (Damage dealt by a creature with lifelink also causes its controller to gain that much life.)
If one of these lands enters the battlefield at the same time as one or more other lands (due to Oblivion Sower or Warp World, perhaps), it doesn't take those lands into consideration when determining how many other lands you control.
If one of these lands enters the battlefield under your control and you control zero, one, or two other lands, it enters the battlefield untapped. If you control three or more other lands, it enters the battlefield tapped.
If this land enters the battlefield at the same time as any number of other lands, those other lands are not counted when determining if this land enters the battlefield tapped or untapped.
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has "Whenever another creature dies, put a +1/+1counteron this creature."
When enchanted creature dies, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is its power. Put one of those cards into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
At the beginning of your end step, create a Treasure token for each creature that died this turn. (It's an artifact with ",Sacrificethis token: Add one mana of any color.")
Even though these lands have basic land types, they are not basic lands because "basic" doesn't appear on their type line. Notably, controlling two or more of them won't allow others to enter the battlefield untapped.
However, because these cards have basic land types, effects that specify a basic land type without also specifying that the land be basic can affect them. For example, a spell or ability that reads "Destroy target Forest" can target Canopy Vista, while one that reads "Destroy target basic Forest" cannot.
If one of these lands enters the battlefield at the same time as any number of basic lands, those other lands are not counted when determining if this land enters the battlefield tapped or untapped.
As Plaguecrafter's ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature or planeswalker they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen permanents are sacrificed at the same time. Next, each player in the same order who couldn't sacrifice a permanent chooses a card in hand without revealing it, then the chosen cards are discarded at the same time.
Each player chooses a permanent to sacrifice from among the creatures and planeswalkers they control. You don't choose which type of permanent any other player has to sacrifice.
Plaguecrafter can be the creature its controller sacrifices for its own ability.
As this is entering, it checks for lands that are already on the battlefield. It won't see lands that are entering at the same time (due to Warp World, for example).
This checks for lands you control with the land type Swamp or Mountain, not for lands named Swamp or Mountain. The lands it checks for don't have to be basic lands. For example, if you control Stomping Ground (a nonbasic land with the land types Mountain and Forest), Dragonskull Summit will enter untapped.
As Fleshbag Marauder's ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature to sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same knowing the choices made before them. Then all those creatures are sacrificed simultaneously.
When its ability resolves, you may sacrifice Fleshbag Marauder itself. If you control no other creatures, you'll have to sacrifice Fleshbag Marauder.
If the spell is countered, the squad ability will not trigger, and no tokens will be created.
If the spell resolves but the creature with squad leaves the battlefield before its squad ability resolves, you’ll still create the token copies.
If, for some reason, the creature doesn’t have the squad ability when it’s on the battlefield, the ability won’t trigger, even if you’ve paid the squad cost one or more times.
The tokens created by the squad ability aren’t “cast,” so any abilities that trigger when a spell is cast won’t trigger for the copies.
You may pay the squad cost any number of times. You will create a token that is a copy of that permanent for each time you paid the squad cost. If you paid the squad cost multiple times, the tokens will all enter the battlefield simultaneously.
Squad (As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may pay any number of times. When this creature enters, create that many tokens that are copies of it.)
When this creature enters, each player sacrifices a creature of their choice.

As Accursed Marauder's enters-the-battlefield ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses which creature they'll sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same. Players will know the choices of previous players when making their choice. Then all of the chosen creatures are sacrificed by their controllers simultaneously.
You may sacrifice Accursed Marauder to its own ability. If it is the only creature you control when that ability resolves, you must sacrifice it.
As Soul Shatter resolves, first the opponent whose turn it is (or the next opponent in turn order, if it's your turn) chooses a creature or planeswalker they control with the highest mana value among that player's creatures and planeswalkers, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all of the chosen permanents are sacrificed at the same time.
A legendary permanent that is put into a graveyard because of the "legend rule" isn't sacrificed.
If a permanent is sacrificed to pay a cost of a spell or ability, Mayhem Devil's ability will resolve before that spell or ability. Conversely, if a permanent is sacrificed during the resolution of a spell or ability, that spell or ability will finish resolving before Mayhem Devil's ability is put onto the stack.
If you sacrifice Mayhem Devil, its ability triggers.
Mayhem Devil itself doesn't allow any player to sacrifice any permanents. Its ability triggers whenever a player sacrifices a permanent because some other spell, ability, or cost instructed the player to do so.
You control Mayhem Devil's triggered ability and choose the target, no matter who sacrificed the permanent.
Choose one —
• Each opponent sacrifices a nontoken creature of their choice.
• Each opponent sacrifices a creature token of their choice.
• Each opponent sacrifices a planeswalker of their choice.
If a permanent on the battlefield has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
If the target permanent is an illegal target by the time Feed the Swarm tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't lose any life. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), you do lose life.
The amount of life you lose is determined by the permanent's mana value as it last existed on the battlefield.
Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).
If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it's still on the battlefield at that time.
Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
Numeric mana symbols ({0}, {1}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
If the player can't sacrifice a creature (usually because they don't control one), Mogis will deal 2 damage to them.
As a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color will determine whether any replacement effects that affect creatures entering the battlefield apply to that God. Because replacement effects are considered before the God is on the battlefield, the mana symbols in its mana cost won't be counted when determining this.
Counters put on a God remain on it while it's not a creature, even if they have no effect.
If a God is attacking or blocking and it stops being a creature, it will be removed from combat. It won't rejoin combat if it resumes being a creature later during that combat.
If a God stops being a creature, it loses the type creature and the creature type God. It continues to be a legendary enchantment.
If an effect causes a God to lose all abilities, its ability that causes it to stop being a creature still applies if appropriate.
The abilities of Gods function as long as they're on the battlefield, regardless of whether they're creatures.
The type-changing ability that can make a God not be a creature functions only on the battlefield. It's always a creature card in other zones, regardless of your devotion to its color. It's always a creature spell while it's on the stack.
When a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color (including the mana symbols in the mana cost of the God itself) will determine if a creature entered the battlefield or not for abilities that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield.
Your devotion to two colors is the number of mana symbols among mana costs of permanents you control that are the first color, the second, or both. If an effect counts your devotion to two colors, a hybrid symbol that is both of those colors is counted just once.
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to black and red is less than seven, Mogis isn't a creature.
At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, Mogis deals 2 damage to that player unless theysacrificea creature of their choice.

Whenever another artifact or creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put a +1/+1counteron equipped creature.

A permanent card is a card with one or more of the following card types: artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker.
If the permanent is an illegal target by the time Chaos Warp tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will occur. No library will be shuffled and no card will be revealed.
If the revealed card is a permanent card but can't enter (perhaps because it's an Aura with nothing to enchant), it remains on top of that library.
If the revealed card is not a permanent card, it remains on top of that library.
The owner of a token is the player under whose control the token was put onto the battlefield. If a token is shuffled into a player's library this way, that player shuffles before revealing the top card of that library.
The owner of target permanent shuffles it into their library, then reveals the top card of their library. If it's a permanent card, they put it onto the battlefield.
