Sacrifice OutletA card that lets you sacrifice your own creatures or other permanents whenever you want, usually for little or no cost, such as Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar. Sacrifice means putting your own card into the graveyard on purpose. Decks use an outlet to cash in creatures that are about to be destroyed or stolen, and to set off cards that reward a creature dying.Open the full glossaryDeath TriggerAn ability that happens when a creature dies, meaning it goes from the battlefield to the graveyard. Sacrifice decks rely on these to get something back every time a creature is lost.Blood ArtistOpen the full glossaryGraveyardThe discard pile. Cards that are destroyed, discarded or used up go here. In Commander plenty of cards bring them back, which is why graveyards are a resource rather than a bin.Open the full glossaryCounterTwo different things share this word.
