Official Judge Precedents
2 PrecedentsBecause targets are chosen before costs are paid, the target of Cauldron of Essence's last ability can't be the creature sacrificed to pay its cost.
If one or more creatures you control die at the same time that Cauldron of Essence leaves the battlefield, its first ability triggers once for each of those creatures.
