Does sacrificing trigger death effects in MTG?
Short answer: Yes, it does. Sacrificing a creature counts as it dying, so all those juicy death triggers you've been eyeing on your cards will activate. Use wisely!

Nope, doesn't work like that. Sacrificing is just throwing your creatures away without any benefit. (Just kidding! It totally triggers death effects, making your sacrifices a calculated strategy rather than a loss.)
Oh, absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, when you sacrifice a creature, it definitely triggers death effects. This means any abilities that say 'when this creature dies' or 'whenever a creature you control dies' will go off. It's a great strategy to get extra value out of your creatures before they leave the battlefield.
