Yep, you totally can! In Magic The Gathering, sacrificing a creature is actually a common strategy. You can do this any time you have priority and the action fits the rules of the ability you're using to sacrifice. So if you've got a creature that's about to bite the dust, you can sacrifice it for an effect or benefit before it would be destroyed. It's like saying, 'You can't fire me, I quit!' but with fantasy creatures.

Short answer: Yes. Sacrificing is a legit move to get ahead or mess with your opponent's plans. Timing is everything.

Absolutely! Sacrificing a creature on your own terms can be the difference between winning or losing. It's all about strategy. For example, I once had a card that would gain me life whenever I sacrificed a creature. So, right before my opponent's spell would've destroyed my creature, I sacrificed it to squeeze out some extra life points. The look on their face was priceless.
