How it works : Cavalier of Night
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Cavalier of Night’s enters-the-battlefield ability goes on the stack without a target. While that ability is resolving, you may sacrifice another creature. When you do, the reflexive triggered ability triggers and you pick a target creature to be destroyed. This is different from effects that say “If you do . . .” in that players may take actions after you’ve sacrificed the creature but before the target creature is destroyed.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
