(Playing against Human)
Description of Issue:
Stitcher's Graft is forcing creatures to be sacrificed as the equipped creature is being made to leave the battlefield by another spell or ability.Example situation:
1.
Aethergeode Miner is equipped with
Stitcher's Graft.
2.
is paid in order to activate
Aethergeode Miner's second ability.
3. The ability is allowed to resolve... *and
Stitcher's Graft's 2nd ability triggers*, causing the creature to be sacrificed.
Note: It was unclear whether XMage was unattaching
Stitcher's Graft from
Aethergeode Miner prior to
Aethergeode Miner exiling itself and reentering the battlefield, or if it allowed
Aethergeode Miner to exile and reenter the battlefield, but then was forcing the creature(a new object) to be sacrificed.
Reasons (from Gatherer):
Stitcher’s Graft becomes unattached from the creature it’s equipping if you equip it to a new creature, if
Stitcher’s Graft leaves the battlefield, if the equipped creature ceases to be a creature, or if
Stitcher’s Graft ceases to be an Equipment. (
It also becomes unattached if the equipped creature leaves the battlefield, but the triggered ability won’t do anything in that case.)
