Hi everybody , i have a question about the "sacrifice to …" rule.
i start with an example.
In game there are a lobber and another one of my unit and one's opponent unit.
i decide to active the action of the lobber ( Action:sacrifice this unit to force the opponent to sacrifice a unit he controls.)
my opponent plays Plague Bomb in response to my action ( plague bomb say:Action: Deal 1 damage to target unit. Deal 2 damage to another target unit. Deal 3 damage to a third target unit.) and he target my lobber , my second unit and his one .

In F.A.Q. 2.0. Rule "Sacrifice." says: Sacrifice means to remove a card you control from play. The act of sacrificing a card cannot be cancelled or prevented by other effects. After a card is sacrificed, it is placed into its owner’s discard pile.

So if i follow the rule,plague bomb can't be played because he can't target my lobber because i remove him from play.
is that right? because i find some players that say they can play plague bomb in response to lobber because is an action.

I think sacrifice is a cost. it is like paying "resource to .."so he can't do nothing in response to a sacrifice and in this case plague bomb target an illegal target becuase in no more existing in play.right?


thanks everyone for the attention.

You are correct. The sacrifice is a cost, you pay all costs when you trigger the effect. By the time he gets to respond, the Lobber Crew is already gone. See "Triggering a card effect" on page 4 of the FAQ.

Really,Thank you.

i have another question.

if i sacrifice lobber my opponent can cancel my action with mage of loec(Action: Discard a quest
from hand or turn this unit into a
development to cancel an Action just
triggered.)?

He can, but the lobber will be gone (sacrifice is the cost you pay immediately when playing an action).

ok! thank you!!
