Can you respond to sacrifice effects in MTG?
Absolutely! In MTG, you can respond to sacrifice effects, but with a nuance. You can't stop the sacrifice itself once it's been put on the stack since sacrificing is part of the cost. However, you can respond to whatever triggered the sacrifice or the spell causing it. This means you can play instants or activate abilities in response, potentially changing the game's state before the sacrifice effect resolves. For example, you could cast a spell that gives your creature indestructible or use an instant to exile the creature targeted by an opponent's sacrifice-triggered ability.

Nah, once it's happening, it's happening. You can't directly stop a sacrifice since it's a cost and not an effect on the stack. Do something before or after, but not to the sacrifice itself.
Been there, done that! I saved my creature from being sacrificed by my opponent's spell by casting an instant that bounced it back to my hand. The sacrifice still happened, but I got to reuse my creature later. Timing and knowing your cards are key!
