Q: If I have a way to untap a creature, can I use that same creature multiple times for convoke? I don't think so, but I'm not sure. A: No. Tapping creatures is done at the same time as paying mana, and it's all done at once. There's no opportunity to use other effects. Q: Is it possible to both tap an Eldrazi spawn for convoke and also sacrifice it for one mana to help pay the cost of Chord of Calling? A: You can't sacrifice an Eldrazi Spawn for mana and tap it to help pay for a spell with convoke.
You have a chance to activate mana abilities before you start to pay any costs. So if you sacrifice the Eldrazi Spawn for mana, it won't be on the battlefield to tap when you're paying costs. A flexible and fearsome sac outlet, Attrition allows you to turn your creatures into Doom Blades.
You can pay a black mana and sacrifice a creature, then destroy any target nonblack creature. For only one mana, you have access to an instant-speed killspell. Not only that, but its function as a sac outlet is an excellent boon to Aristocrats decks.
With Empty the Laboratory, you can sacrifice all those mediocre tokens that clutter a zombie tribal deck and turn them into an army of new threats!
Pay X mana, sacrifice X zombies, and then reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal X zombies. Put them directly into play. This sorcery can immediately close out a game.
Even paying only 2 or 3 mana for its variable cost is a great deal since zombie tribal decks will always have something to sacrifice. You sacrifice the cat to the artifact and get a food token. Then, sacrifice the food to bring the cat back and do it again next turn. What sets Rakdos Sacrifice apart from other decks using this engine though is the inclusion of Mayhem Devil. With this creature, every time you sacrifice a permanent, you can ping any target.
Rakdos Sacrifice also runs copies of Woe Strider and Priest of Forgotten Gods to take advantage of these synergies further.
Both are sac outlets that can provide additional value in the form of scrying and removal and mana, respectively. Furthermore, Rakdos Sacrifice plays Judith, the Scourge Diva for an extra card to ping opponents when your creatures die. And as for additional creatures to sacrifice, you can expect to see copies of Dreadhorde Butcher and Gutterbones as well. If you like the ramp and creature value that green offers, you can also build this deck into Jund Sacrifice. This variant runs Wicked Wolf and Trail of Crumbs for the food synergies, plus some much-needed removal and filtering.
Korvold, Fae-Cursed King serves as another sac outlet and a win condition too. However, it is undoubtedly possible to port the decklist over to Historic and play it there instead. Sacrifice decks are heavily reliant on their sac outlets being in play. Without them, the deck is essentially dead in the water.
As such, counter, destroy, or otherwise remove all sac outlets when you see them. Other sacrifice cards require adaptability, though. Because sacrifice is a standard keyword action, there is no perfect strategy to handle all sacrifice cards. As such, make sure to remove any cards that can force you to sacrifice before they get out of hand.
The totem armor keyword does not count as sacrifice. Instead, totem armor specifies that the aura is destroyed. Whether or not you can do this at instant speed depends on the card in question.
Some, like Viscera Seer , can be activated at any time. Others, like Sadistic Hypnotist , can only be activated whenever you could cast a sorcery. Regardless, you cannot sacrifice a permanent just because you want to. Sacrifice is a keyword ability that features on certain cards. You can only sacrifice the permanents that you control. You could sacrifice a creature an opponent owns if you gain control over it, but this is also a relatively rare occurrence.
