If i fling a kiln fiend does it get +3/+0 before the sac?
Asked by neetbed 14 years ago
If i fling cast fling and the creature i am sacrificing is a kiln fiend, will it get +3/+0 before the sacrifice or will it get sacrificed and ignore the ability?
Just like the good dr said, the answer is no.
To play Fling , you need to sacrifice the creature as an additional cost.
So you announce that you are playing it. Then pay the mana/effect to cast the spell.
In this case your sacrificing the Kiln Fiend . And that happens before the Fling is being casted.
So by the time Fling has been casted, Kiln Fiend isn't around to receive the bonus +3/+0.
Hope this helps to clarify

No, it will not get +3/+0. Because sacrificing a creature is part of Fling 's cost, it has not yet been "cast" until Kiln Fiend is sacrificed.
