Rules and interactions

  • Evoke is an alternative casting cost; the spell is still a creature spell and can be countered normally.
  • The sacrifice is a triggered ability that uses the stack, so players can respond before the creature is sacrificed.
  • If the creature leaves the battlefield before the evoke trigger resolves, you do not sacrifice anything when that trigger resolves.
