Modern Legacy Vintage Commander

Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 6 versions.

Official Judge Precedents

1 Precedents

You and the opponent you target take all the actions in the order listed. Notably, the creature or planeswalker they sacrifice won't be on the battlefield as they discard a card or lose life. If any abilities trigger, they will wait to be put on the stack until after the spell resolves. If any abilities controlled by that opponent trigger but losing 3 life causes them to lose the game, none of those abilities will be put on the stack.
