Grave Pact Combo ??

Deck Help forum

Posted on July 31, 2013, 6:54 p.m. by Sne4kyFOX

I am working on a sacrifice deck and do not know if the following two cards interact. Grave Pact and Innocent Blood . If I sacrifice a creature, does my opponent have to sacrifice two ? One for Grave Pact and the other for Innocent Blood ??

Sorry if this seems obvious, but I am new to the game.

Thanks to anyone who can clear this up for me.

Yes, it does.

Grave Pact states that whenever a creatures dies (meaning a creature is put into your graveyard from the battlefield), your opponents also have to sacrifice a creature.

Innocent Blood and other sacrifice effects put creatures into the graveyard from the battlefield. So creatures die when they're sacrificed, and it will trigger Grave Pact , forcing your opponents to sacrifice an additional creature if you play Innocent Blood .

You are correct. Innocent Blood will resolve, everyone will sacrifice a creature simultaneously, assuming you have a creature Grave Pact will trigger and will resolve after innocent blood making them sacrifice another creature.

Krayhaft and irjeff --

Thanks for your comments, that clears up my confusion.

I am building a vintage deck to play with some friends during down time up at college, if you would like to view it and leave feedback you can view it here:

A Deal With Death

Please give me a +1 if you like it!!

Thanks again

It actually reminds me alot of my old zombie deck I used to play, but with more Korlash, Heir to Blackblade and Lord of the Undead to give it a chance to be a bruiser incase I couldn't draw a grave pact. I think yours functions way better at the combo though.
