Sacrificing opponents' creatures

Deck Help forum

Posted on March 28, 2013, 1:02 a.m. by Unforgivn_II

I have some weird rules questions dealing with sacrifice. I know I can only sac creatures I control, so my deck I hate myself. But I hate you more... is about taking their creatures, then sacrificing them. But then weird stuff starts happening. Which graveyard does that creature go to? Does it go to mine until the end of my turn? Does it go straight to theirs? The only reason I ask that is because Mikaeus, the Unhallowed will make that creature undying so long as its not a Human. So if it goes to my grave, I could get the benefit of sacrificing it twice, where if it goes to theirs, they'll get a buffed up version of the creature they had.

To make this deck-help relevant, I'd like to make my deck a little more reliable. Most of the creatures that I have 3 or more of are ones that are important to the deck. The others are all cool and work pretty well with the deck, but sometimes get in the way early. I was looking for a little feedback to increase the numbers of some and lower or possibly remove others. Here's the link again: I hate myself. But I hate you more...

Undying states that it always returns the card to it's owner's control, not the controller.

Ah yes. Should have seen that. Well, he's not staying in the deck then

To answer your original question, though, a card can't be put into the graveyard, hand, or library of a player who is not that card's owner. If an effect would even attempt to put another player's card into your graveyard, hand, or library, it doesn't.

Ok thanks. Usually I just resort to google for these kind of rule questions, but I couldn't find any answers for this...
